Blood

Sonata Arctica

Composed by: Toni Kakka
key: Bm Tuning: E A D G B E
G                      Bm                      D
   At first you kindle life, you place it in a man
                      A                         
   This man, he has a heart, that's filled with fire  
G                      Bm                         D
   The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home
                     A                                G
   They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear              
                     Bm                          D
   The man creates a wall, he arms, defends them all 
                         A
   This fear becomes his fall  


[VERSE]

 Bm                       
"Blood is a bodily fluid in animals that 
         D
Delivers necessary substances such as  
                     Bm                     
Nutrients and oxygen to the cells and 
                                    D
Transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells."  
 

[PD-C HORUS]

             A                          G     
The color of life an arrow of fear made flow
       Em     G      A              F#m             G        Bm 
Auburn rivers in the snow dance the death of fading peace of mind  


[VERSE]

Bm                                        D                            
Kept awake by the night of the twilight's cold, sad weeps 
Bm                                   D
What the child of Orion has sown his cubs will reap 

            A                           G
The fire is out, and there's an ominous silence 
           Em       G      A               F#m               G
But he can see them in the dark, under the moon, the shadows find them      


[CHORUS]

G                    Bm
Wolf, stares in your eyes
                D
Blink first and die
           A       
Beauty and fear, of wolves and of people   


[VERSE]

Bm                                              D
There's a cave on the hills in the woods not so far away
Bm                                      D                      A
Never once had he seen the descent of majestic gray coming his way  

                          G            Em          G        A
Now he can see those blue eyes burning through the darkened night 
             F#m             G
He knows the fur, he used to love her...     


[PD-C HORUS]


Bm       A    D             G
Ready or not, there will be blood
Bm        A        D       G         Bm A     D          G
Life is a gift you have no lease for anymore, there will blood     
Bm           A   D               G
You will buy our blood with your own blood 
Bm           A   D               G    
You will buy our blood with your own blood     


[CHORUS]

       Bm                A        G
   The last thing you'll see is a wolf
                     Bm                    D
   It stares in your eyes, blink first and die     
              A
   Beauty and fear within   
G                  Bm                 D
   Who's more of a beast, a king or a priest?
                 A
   What do you believe?  


[G  O]

A  C#m  E  B
A  C#m  E  B 


[BRIDGE]

Bm
   The wolves or the people
D            Am     
   Things we fear, wolves or the people 
D         Am    
   Wolves fear the fear of the people 

D                                 Am        D     Am  D  Am
Think, how one fearful man can destroy this world  


[KEY CHANGE 1]

A                      C#m                     E
   At first you kindle life, you place it in a man 
                      B                              
   This man, he has a heart, that's filled with fire  
A                      C#m                        E
   The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home
                     B                                
   They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear  


[KEY CHANGE 2]

B                      
   Maybe men cannot live when their hearts 
           D#m                 F#           
   Are not filled with fire instead of love 
       C#                      
   For fear is a powerful thing
B                                        D#m                F#              
   Maybe only the might and the power of fear maintains our life 
               C#                        B
   We function when it's controlled by denial 

B                   D#m                   F#
   The wolf in your eyes blinks first and dies 
              C#                              B
   Beauty and fear, the wolves and the people  
                       D#m                      F#
   Those hills have no eyes, but they hear your cries 
              C#                                         B
   Beauty and fear, the blood, the wolves and the people
