歌词
Closer to an Animal - Sonata Arctica
作词:Tony Kakko
作曲:Tony Kakko
I am a man
You fell down from
that apple tree
the other day with me
We had already forgotten
we one day
crawled up from the sea
Imagine now
If we one day could build
a flying contraption
and see the world
What if we could somehow
store knowledge in a cloud
Draw a smiling
face on the moon
find the meaning of life
Riding the crest of our time
with bravado
soon complete
Will we see a new
one rise behind us
A new chance a new world
Our wave
it's about to break
And we're about to
dive in the void
It echoes our fall
our paean to avarice
I think we're
closer to an animal
Every day till we fall
Can you believe
We have all those eyes
high in the sky
and we can now
see the world
One thing truly
makes me blind
The wisdom of hindsight
the eye in my own hand
Riding the crest of our time
with bravado soon complete
Will we see a new
one rise behind us
A new chance a new world
I think I'm closer to an animal
Every day till I fall
If you want it all
you can have it all
But greed raises oceans too
When the glacier of
our broken dreams
melts in your champagne glass
Someone knocks on your door
four times
Sand in your hour glass
every grain is a day falling
Finding it's rightful place
If you want it all
you can have it all
But greed raises oceans too
When the glacier of
our broken dreams
melts in your
champagne glass
Do we need it all
we can have it all
Our greed will raise oceans soon
And the glacier of
our human dream
gone with the champagne
glass in the sea
I am a man
In the grand scheme of things
only minutes have passed
since I crawled up from the sea
But already
I've built a flying contraption
and seen the world
I've drawn a smiley
face on the moon
and stored
knowledge in a cloud
What a wonderful
gift our mind is
But why am I using it
to destroy
this beautiful planet
My only home
If it defines me
if it makes me a human
I need to get closer to
my inner animal
