Sonata Arctica - Shamandalie

In good old times, remember, my friend
(The) Moon was so bright and so close to us sometimes
Mirror still blind, if - what a bliss,
Painting the world of our own for our own eyes now,

Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbreakable,
Love means nothing to me.
Without blinking an eye, I fade, it's so needed
All those moments with you if I had you beside me

One cloudy day we both lost the game
We drifted so far and away,
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes...

And we'll never have what we had then, friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me,
Without blinking an eye, I fade, it's so needed
All those moments with you if I had you beside me now

I was unable to cope with what you said:
"Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind"
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were once shamandalie

I have never forgotten your smile, your eyes of shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died,
I'm writing this down to ease my pain

You saw us always clearer than me, how we were never meant to be
Love denied that the friendship would die,
Now I have seen the light, these memories make me cry

Can I ever have what I had, that friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me,
Without blinking an eye, I fade, it's so needed
All those moments with you, see the world with my wide open eyes

Friendship unbroken,
There's no world for me like the world of my childhood
Can you forgive me, now you're better off me
All that payback in old times
