Half a Marathon Man - Sonata Arctica

And 89 year old man learned how to run

And as he passed me by, he said «Come on, son!»

I really thought my bones weighted a ton

As I dragged them up and down the block

Now a couple of weeks have passed

Gone are the makings of a lazy man

When I saw the usher of change

Her flaming hair in slow-mo

Gliding past my window

I had to trace her down

«You look like a really nice guy

But can you keep up with me?»

Away she ran

I’m doing everything I can

To be half of a marathon man

How many things can life conceal

Deep in the mist everything is unreal

If you believe in me, I can

Become your own half a marathon man

I am half of a a marathon man

Yea-yeah

Good morning, somebody kill me right now

I’ve never felt this kind of a burning cold

I read it somewhere, running is like a drug

As for the second day, I can say it is not

It’s bright white burning pain

Bring it on, baby!

10 miles and I fell hellbent

I’m gonna make sure this rainbow has an end

I seem to have hit an invisible wall

Trying to find out if this here endless tunnel is really

A cave

So here I run between the fields

I am half of a marathon man

Follow the river down from the hills

If I can do it, then anyone can

Now her eyes reflect my skies

You can hear love in the 21 cries

Of half of a marathon man

It’s a beautiful day, it’s a beautiful day

It’s so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (x4)

So here I run between the fields

I am half of a marathon man

Follow the river down from the hills

If I can do it, then anyone can

Now her eyes reflect my skies

You can hear love in the 21 cries

Of half of a marathon man

It’s a beautiful

It’s a beautiful

It’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day (x3)
