White Pearl, Black Oceans Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Asuyuka 

Cover art for White Pearl, Black Oceans lyrics by Sonata Arctica

This song should be obvious. A tale of the lighthouse keeper who promised his love to a girl before she took a trip on a luxury liner (it sounds like). He falls asleep after having a night on the town the previous night, and awakes in horror to find out that night long since fallen with no lighthouse lit on the night his beloved comes home.

He prays for the full moon to light the sea, but, to no avail.

He's soon tried in the courts for the murdering of every person aboard the White Pearl. Unable to stand their hatred and the fact he killed both his wife, unborn child, and all the passengers aboard, he leaps from the top of his tower to let the blackness swallow him.

Awesome song, might I add.
