First In Line Lyrics by Sonata Arctica

Clear Cold Beyond

2023

[Verse 1]
Once again we behold the future behind the cloud
It scares you
Grown as a beauty, stained with tainted paint
Once-born is the last of us and the skies are fallen
Lead me
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn
We'll build us a wonder, gone through the maze in days
In hindsight
Cloudy ahead, the skies always clear behind

[Pre-Chorus]
We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life

[Chorus]
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn

[Verse 2]
All the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies
White lies
They have the value, serving the purpose
When we guide our children, the future's blinding light
You can't leave, no
They hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse

[Pre-Chorus]
We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life

[Chorus]
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn

[Bridge]
We bring rocks into the dark
In hopes they hit a mark
One day you'll know this blindness
The views and fears of the unknown
We hide what we don't know
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole
Yet we don't know

[Guitar Solos]

[Chorus]
Every generation's every book
Every place is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we moved on slower
Every open window, we are handing to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world is burning

[Outro]
Every generation has a premise
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt
Yet we can save this world if we moved on slower
Can't let all the serious pull, maybe we should solve the problems
Now we're the first in line
This world, like a plot, we'll let unwind
