Biography:
Stratovarius is a power metal band from Finland. They became more popular in the '90s, and throughout their career have inspired upcoming power metal bands with their baroque arranged keyboard solos & Ritchie Blackmore-like guitar portions.
Stratovarius was founded in Finland in 1984 from former members of the band Black Water. They went through a number of personnel and musical changes before the band found its own voice. In 1984, the name was changed to Stratovarius (a portmanteau of Stratocaster and Stradivarius), an idea of Stråhlman's.

[Verse 1]
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm
Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
A# A#addE Gm Am7
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
A# A#addE Gm Am7
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page
[Bridge]
A#addE Gm
Now all I have, all I am
Dsus2
All I ever was is here, on the page
A#
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
F C
It’s all a lie so let it burn
[Chorus]
Dm A# Am A#
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
Dm A# F C
As the light of last candle flickers away
Dm A# F C
If the story is over, this chapter my last
A# Gm Dm
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
[Verse 2]
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm
I hope It’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
A# A#addE Gm Am7
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 Dm
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
A# A#addE Gm Am7
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void
[Bridge]
A#addE Gm
Come night, test my will, test my soul
Dsus2
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
A# F C
Guide through the dark ‘til the morning come
[Chorus]
Em C Hm C
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
Em C G D
As the light of last candle flickers away
Em C G D
If the story is over, this chapter my last
C Am Em
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
