"Sonata (Immortal Beloved)" lyrics - BRUCE DICKINSON

Here in this dark forest where nothing will live
I see the frozen eyes
Maybe something can be heard
Frozen raindrops hanging on the trees
Here in the dark forest
Where angels live and angels sleep
Herein my heart is raging
Again, again

[Chorus:]
Save me now, save me now
Save me now, save me now
Save me from this pain, save me now
Save me now
And save me, help me live again, again

I'll walk into the halls of ice and thorns
Decaying frozen walls
I blame myself I was not here
For this king could have lost his crown
But still is your heartbeat
Your breath hangs frozen in the air
Some poisoned enchantment
Your beauty, it will not last

[Chorus:]
You say, "Save me now, save me now"
Save me now, save me now
Save me from this pain, save me now
Bring me back
Save me now and help me live again

[Bridge:]
The king returned and all was silent
The body of his frozen queen, tragic
The acolytes around her
Expressions of horror
Make me whole again
Bring back my queen
Make me whole again
And free the ice queen now
Come back to me
Come back to me

[Chorus:]
Save me now, save me now
Save me now, save me now
Save me from my grave, save me now
Save me now
Help me, help me live again

[Post-Chorus:]
He kissed her on the lips
And his tears, they melted the stiff, unyielding flesh
As his lips touched her last frozen breath
A strange light illumined her eyes
And the shadow of the valley of death

[Interlude:]
He kissed her on the lips
And his tears melted the stiff unyielding flesh
As his lips touched her last frozen breath
A strange light illumined her eyes
And the shadow of the valley of death approached
And the king cried
"For I am damned, what have I done?"
And the ice queen shrieked as the angel of death appeared
"Who pays the price?" He laughed

[Refrain:]
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart

[Outro:]
I will take you back
I'll take you back
Let me take you back
