Replica — текст песни (Sonata Arctica)

I`m home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the
meaning of it all. Remember me? Before the war.
I`m the man who lived next door. Long ago...

As you can see, when you look at me, I`m pieces of
what I used to be. It`s easier if you don`t see me
standing on my own two feet. I`m taller when I sit
here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets
cannot see

Nothing`s what it seems to be,
I`m a replica, I`m a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I`m not myself, I`m a replica of me...

The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill
the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas
Eve I can`t remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,
I wish I had stayed home instead.

Nothing`s what it seems to be,
I`m a replica, I`m a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I`m not myself, I`m a replica of me...

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over
Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

Raising from the place I`ve been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I`m here and won`t go back believe.

I fall asleep and dream a dream, I`m floating in a
silent dream. No-one placing blame on me
But nothing`s what it seems to be, yeah.

Nothing`s what it seems to be,
I`m a replica, I`m a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I`m not myself, I`m a replica of me...
