Sonata Arctica - Replica (Lyrics)
I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the
meaning of this all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...

As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of
what I used to be. It's easier when you don't see me
standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit
here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets
cannot see, yeah.

Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill
the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas
Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in the rain. I painted all your pigeons red,
I wish I had stayed home instead, yeah.

Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over
Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back believe.

I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a
silent scream. No-one placing blame on me
But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah.

Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

One of the very best anti war songs ever written, so awesome performed!

Every Friday I wait anxiously for your next upload, and I never feel disappointed! Thank you so much for the effort you put into your music, and Quentin - I really do appreciate your playing. As a guitarist, I know it is easy to disappear into the background - but the way Minniva edits you in is great.

Minniva - anything I can do to keep you singing would be an absolute honor.

Miniva... uau!!!
Eu comentei em inglês o primeiro vídeo seu que eu vi. Mas gostaria comentar desta vez em português pra você sentir que o seu sucesso atravessou de fato a Europa e veio parar aqui no Brasil!
Eu já tinha escutado antes esta música tocada pelo Sonata Arctica, mas é incrível como ela fica cantada melhor por você que é uma voz feminina( não querendo diminuir os integrantes do Sonata Arctica, vocês são demais rapazes!👍😉).
Não sei se você Miniva vai ler este post mas gostaria de deixar uma sugestão... Faça um cover do Angra (que é uma banda de Heavy Metal Melódico aqui do Brasil. Eles são demais também!) e mais covers do Sonata Arctica.
Vocês é demais, tenho certeza que vai ficar muito bom um cover do Angra seu!
Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho e aos músicos que participam com você nos covers!
You are Amazing!
Let's Rock!
😎✋👊👍

Wow! I can't wait for other Sonata Arctica covers! Here's my 3 suggestions: My Land, My Selene and Gravenimage would be awesome! Keep up the awesome work!

This is one of my favs from Sonata, which is my favorite band, and you sang it beautifully!

Two talented people! Absolutely love your collaborations :) Good luck!

[edulsferreira]

You make seem easy to sing so many songs of many bands. You give to every song you sing your identity and it's impressing, the last time I got impressed this way was when I knew Roy Khan.

[albakingification]

First time i have ever heard this song and im not going to even bother listening to the original it cant get any better than this

[nasirt]

Impossible! A sonata cover better than the original? Yep, this is it! Wowwww!!

[darkestlost]

excellent adaptation, I was nervous you wouldn't do the story of a shattered veteran justice, I was gladly proven wrong
