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
Would you move the mountain
C F
Would you build that tower
G Gm
Would you drink the sunshine
Dm Am
Like a wilted flower
Dm
Would you waste that hour
C F C Bb F
If you knew this full moon would be the last one you'd see
Dm
Or would you gaze in wonder
C F
While the world was turning
G Gm
While the moon made quiet
Dm Am
All the years of yearning
Dm
Would the flame keep burning
C F C G
If you knew the powers that be would set you free
Chorus 1:
Bb Dm
Don't know why you had to go
Bb Dm
In the stormy night a flame in the darkness
Bb Dm
And we'll never really know
Bb Csus4 C
If you'll ever see me again
repeat Intro
Verse 2:
Dm
Swam around in circles
C F
In the angry ocean
G Gm
And your dream of safety
Dm Am
Just a lost emotion
Dm
Could a faded notion
C F C Bb F
Make you find your way back to shore looking for more
Dm
So we head for safety
C F
But we never get there
G Gm
And I brush the shadows
Dm Am
From a scary nightmare
Dm
On the road to nowhere
C F C G
Would you help me carry my cross and set me free
Chorus 1:
Bb Dm
Don't know why you had to go
Bb Dm
In the stormy night a flame in the darkness
Bb Dm
And we'll never really know
Bb Csus4 C
If you'll ever see me again
