Heartwarming / Sonata Arctica

• "Flag in the Ground," the story of a couple who is separated when the main character goes to America, but reunited through his hard work and determination. It may be the only happy song in Sonata's catalog.
  I stuck my flag in the ground
  Screaming and shouting, "I've never felt so proud, love!"
  We are free from eternal serfdom
  I'm gonna bring you home, my light!
• In "Blinded No More", after all the garbage the narrator gives his lover for betraying him, he gives her one more chance.
  • The cover of Bette Midler's "The Wind Beneath My Wings" also comes to mind.
• "Love", from Pariah's Child: a Childhood Friend Romance that doesn't have a Bittersweet Ending.
  • The actor in "Larger Than Life", after so much time trapped in his job, retires and starts a family.
• In the sequel to "White Pearl, Black Oceans..." in The Ninth Hour, not only did the lighthouse manager survive his suicide attempt, his lover - presumed dead in the crash of the White Pearl - is alive too!
• "Life" is the aural equivalent of a happy ending, with its triumphant main riff and fluffy lyrics.
  Life is better alive
  It is a dumb thing to say, but the fact won't wane away
  Smile at someone today
  When your team makes a game-winning goal, get ready to sing...
  with a friend who's right beside you!
