Tarja Turunen

Laid so low
I felt so strange
and couldn't move in hours

A pulse of light
that disorients
I trembled with might and main

A fever is killing me
Creeping and burning
Spreading all night and day
Insatiable yarning

You'll never see me running away
I was framed to be
In the picture

Can't believe my eyes
images blurred
are coming alive

From where did you come
What's your mission

Though they lurked
Still out of range
I bowed down before the strange

When finally they showed their faces
I recognized myself

Fear in the neighbourhood
Of hope and commitment
Dreams had a bigger size
Than I'd ever witnessed

You'll never see me running away
I was framed to be
In the picture

Can't believe my eyes
images blurred
are coming alive

From where did you come
What's your mission

You'll never see me running away
I'll have to face
the oncoming pain
(cause') I was framed to be
In the picture

Can't believe my eyes
images blurred
are coming alive

From where did you come

Can't believe my eyes

I was framed to be
In the picture

Can't believe my eyes...
