The end
The songwriter’s dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white land of empathica, of innocence The poet ??? meadows of heaven The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widow writer, torn apart by chains of Hell One last perfect verse Yet still the same old song Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, One for God, save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world My home was there at last, these meadows of heaven The venture filled days more with every smiling face Please, no more words Those from a seventh hell No more, please, tell me once my heart goes by Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, One for God, save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world Whore for this cold world Whore for this cold world Sparkle, a scenery With childish lies, I fall With beauty underneath The end, I’m free Tuck me in Beneath the blue Beneath the great Beneath the ray One night reigns a journey in time See them, the light On the shore he sat and hoped Under the same belief Blue sky, the light chose you Shows you hope I’m afraid, so afraid, of being raped Again and again and again I know I will die alone, but loved You live long enough to hear the sounds of chaos Long enough to find yourself screaming And if you want Live long enough to see your friends betray you Years have I been stripped unto this altar Now I only have three minutes left to live I just wish the tide would catch me first And give me a death As I hoped for ???

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells ”I need to die to feel alive” Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I`ll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words ...How blind can you be, don`t you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have... Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don`t you see You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting Bye bye beautiful |

Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay Seawinds brought her to me A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life And all the poetry in the world Finally makes sense to me Save one death for me A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Put to rest all that`s not life Drink for beauty and fill my blank page Sometimes a dream turns into a dream A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath |

Snow keeps falling, silent dawn A rose by any other name Eva leaves her Swanbrook home A kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own She walks alone but not without her name Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field Mocked by man to depths of shame Little girl with life ahead For a memory of one kind word She would stay among the beasts Time for one more daring dream Before her escape, edenbeam We kill with her own loving heart Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field |

Heaven today is far away
To a place I once called home Heart of a child ??? As another love grows cold Once my heart beat to the Rhythm of the falling snow Like there below the river now flows A stream on mounds of magic snow For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Given today, with all the ??? To understand the weight of the world Faded and torn, I'll never learn My weak and hoping heart For the child, for the night For the heart I once had I believe I have foreseen Everything I could ever be For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had Time will not heal a dead boy's scars Time will kill For the heart I'll never have For the child forever gone The music flows because it loves For the heart I once had |

Who the hell are you to tell me
What to do, why to do, why bother Leech in a mask of virtue Such waste, to ever think of you again Hey Judas, your Christess was our love Hit and run, your will be done Never sorry, never wrong More more more more more Master passion greed ”Hello. How are you? Let me explain one thing. All for her and more for me Why is it so hard to see? I see no sense in doing this Not enough for me I f**k up everything but let me explain.” Some day you shall flee, Panting and weak Master passion greed All within me gone but pain and hope Hoping that the pain would fade away Greed, your master passion I Feed the mouth that bites me Mammon, opiate of the masses The reek of your lies draws flies Seek her Seduce her Tame her Blame her Have her Kill her Feast on it all With awakening the tears will begin To my everlasting shame silence took me |

Meadows Of Heaven
I close my eyes The lantern dies The scent of awakening Wildhoney and dew Childhood games Woods and lakes Streams of silver Toys of olden days Meadows of heaven The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures In the meadow of life My acre of heaven A 5-year-old winterheart In a place called home Sailing the waves of past Meadows of heaven Rocking chair without a dreamer A wooden swing without laughter Sandbox without toy soldiers Yuletide without the Flight Dreambound for life Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden Until I see the 1st star of fall I fall asleep And see it all: Mother's care And color of the kites Meadows of heaven |

A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Ancient mariner in a sea of sand The burning beauty his tomb to die for 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen Horizon`s swarming with death Run! Heaven has a darkened face Dunes are soaring, as on a chase Caravan of the cursed Chasing him across the waves May he now rest under aegis of mirage As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen 1001 nights unseen The philosopher and the queen |

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world`s unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all: An island of the universe Now his love`s a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago So long ago So long ago This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago So long ago |

I`m so afraid. Being raped again, and again, and again I know I will die alone. But loved.

He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. The music he wrote had too long been without silence. He was found naked and dead, With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.” Save me ”MOTHER & FATHER” Be still, my son You`re home Oh when did you become so cold?

from Nightwish - Bless The Child [ep] (2006)
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.

Born from silence
silence full of it A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for so much to die for If only my heart had a home Sing what you can't say Forget what you can't play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry this dying music My loveletter to nobody Never sigh for better world It's already composed played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night Wrote for the eclipse wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god Never sigh for better world It's already composed played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night If you read this line remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse song maker's cry the one without tears For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength Comforting home mother's lap chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life Teach me passion for I fear it's gone Show me love hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I'm sorry Time will tell this bitter farewell I live no more to shame nor me nor you And you I wish I didn't feel for you anymore A lonely soul An ocean soul A lonely soul An ocean soul A lonely soul An ocean soul A lonely soul An ocean soul |

"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.

Once I had a dream and this is it
Once there was a child's dream One night the clock struck twelve The window open wide Once there was a child's heart The age I learned to fly And took a step outside Once I knew all the tales It's time to turn back time Follow the pale moonlight Once I wished for this night Faith brought me here It's time to cut the rope and Fly to a dream Far across the sea All the burdens gone Open the chest once more Dark chest of wonder Seen through the eyes Of the one with pure heart Once so long ago The one in the big blue is What the world stole from me This night will bring him back to me |

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the Division Bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed-of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever |

For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don`t care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon Father help me, save me a place by your side There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game Run away with your impeccable kin Good wombs hath borne bad sons Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors` guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy How were we supposed to know? |

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear But yet he dare not say Where he'd been that fateful night A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas Back in her arms he swear he'll be Over the hills and far away Over the hills and Over the hills and Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms he swears she'll be Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Over the mountains and the seas Back in her arms is where he'll be Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the sea Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills Over the hills and far away Over the hills Over the hills and far away |

for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed You bathed in my wine Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Swansong for the Wish of Night God it hurts give a name to the pain Our primr ose path to hell is growing weed Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So a wake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Blame me it's me Coward a good for nothing scapegoat Dumb kid living a dream Romantic only on paper Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Wake up mow the weed You'd be nothing without me Take my life if you have the heart to die You bastards tainted my tool Raped my words played me a fool Gather your precious glitter and leave me be The Great Ones are all dead And I'm tired too |

Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my nights The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime I wish for this night time to last for a life-time The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you.... |

A lady with a violin Playing to the seals Hearken to the sound Of calling Marco Who tied my hands to the wheel The zodiac turns over me Tarja: Come to me Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see? I tied myself to the wheel Winds talk to my sails Not me Tarja: Come to me Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see? |

For one moment of love I wish I had your angel tonight Deep into a dying day I took a step outside an innocent heart Prepare to hate me for when I may This night will hurt you like never before Old loves, they die hard Old lies, they die harder I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I`m in love with my lust Burning angel wings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight I'm going down so frail and cruel Drunken disguise changes all the rules Old loves, they die hard Old lies, they die harder I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I`m in love with my lust Burning angel wings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight Greatest thrill, Not to kill But to have the prize of the night Hypocrite, Wannabe friend 13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing! Last dance, first kiss Your touch, my bliss Beauty always comes with dark thoughts I wish I had an angel For one moment of love I wish I had your angel Your Virgin Mary undone I`m in love with my lust Burning angel wings to dust I wish I had your angel tonight I wish I had an angel I wish I had an angel I wish I had an angel I wish I had an angel |

As I stand alone
Another night is over My body shakes and I feel alive This is who I am Firmly on the ground But I'm reaching for the sky This is where I thought I had a point of view Caught up in the moment I finally made up my mind [refrain:] Running against the wind I'm burning like a fallen star But there's only one single breath between life and death Beating the odds I never give up I'll live for another day Now there's only one single breath between life and death Trying to catch my breath And rush my eyes to see Shivers down my spine as I fall I couldn't catch the time I was left behind Even betrayed, old and amused You'll never know that in only one single blow It all could be over All over for now [refrain 3x] |

No more tearstains on the pages of my diary Tired but unable to give up since I'm Responsible for the lives I saved The play is done (The play is done) The curtain's down All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens My song is little worth anymore Time to lay this weary pen aside The play is done (The play is done) The curtain's down "Where are the wolves, the underwater moon The elvenpath, the haven of youth Lagoons of the starlit sea Have I felt enough for one man's deed? Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days And let the virgin conceive" All the tales are told All the orchids gone All the tales are told All the orchids gone Lost in my own world Now I care for dead gardens |

Higher Than Hope
Time it took the most of me And left me with no key To unlock the chest of remedy Mother, the pain ain't hurting me But the love that I feel When you hold me near The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Passiontide An angel by my side But no Christ to end this war To deliver my soul from the sword Hope has shown me a scenery Paradise poetry With first snow I'll be gone The hopes were high The choirs were vast Now my dreams are left to live through you Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies "I would just like to think that, it's not why it happened me. But why was I saved? What else can I do now?" Your death saved me "Being in the dark about something, I can't even tell you how scary it is. You don't know what's inside; you don't know what's going to happen to you. The best way to put somebody at ease is to inform them, even if it's grim truth." Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies Red Sun rising Drown without inhaling Within, the dark holds hard Red Sun rising Curtain falling Higher than hope my cure lies |

Amidst the burden the scale will prevail Showing what's worth being here Storyteller by a hearth of stone A white little creature purring me My childhood kingdom gone in time The islands filling my mind with blue The one in speacial, heaven's court All the joy unforgiven by this task An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale The days are filled with anxiety Frustration, one right note a day Where to find a perfect tune Just do the work and take a step back All the joy unforgiven by this task An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale Dark chambers of my mind Locked around the neck of my love None of you understand And it doesn't matter To a broken marionette like me An errant soul, homeless and foul An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale Oh how I hate my kind Have it all Yet wish to die Not mykind but the kind as you are Saints in Cain's mask I love you I just did |

This is me for forever One of the lost ones The one without a name Without an honest heart as compass This is me for forever One without a name These lines the last endeavor To find the missing lifeline Oh how I wish For soothing rain All I wish is to dream again My loving heart Lost in the dark For hope I'd give my everything My flower Withered between The pages two and three The once and forever bloom gone with my sins Walk the dark path Sleep with angels Call the past for help Touch me with your love And reveal to me my true name Oh how I wish For soothing rain All I wish is to dream again My loving heart Lost in the dark For hope I'd give my everything Oh how I wish For soothing rain Oh how I wish to dream again Once and for all And all for once Nemo my name for evermore Nemo sailing home Nemo letting go Oh how I wish For soothing rain All I wish is to dream again My loving heart Lost in the dark For hope I'd give my everything Oh how I wish For soothing rain Oh how I wish to dream again Once and for all And all for once Nemo my name for evermore Nemo my name for evermore |

Denying the lying
A million children fighting For lives in strife For hope beyond the horizon A dead world A dark path Not even crossroads to choose from All the bloodred Carpets before me Behold this fair creation of God My only wish to leave behind All the days of the Earth An everyday hell of my kingdom come The first rock thrown again Welcome to hell, little Saint Mother Gaia in slaughter Welcome to paradise, Soldier My first cry neverending All life is to fear for life You fool, you wanderer You challenged the gods and lost Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love This world ain't ready for The Ark Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love Mankind works in mysterious ways Welcome down to my Planet Hell Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love This world ain't ready for The Ark Save yourself a penny for the ferryman Save yourself and let them suffer In hope In love Mankind works in mysterious ways |

God love and rest my soul
With this sundown neverending The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart 'n soul for sale Tell me why... Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Ode of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part See me ruined by my own creations Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Ode of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part Dead Boy's alive but without sense I need a near-death experience Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection my messenger from hell Wine turns to water Campfires freeze, loveletters burn Romance is lost Lord, let me be wrong in this pain Temporary pain, eternal shame To take part in this devil's chess game Spit on me, let go, get rid of me And try to survive your stupidity |

Still
Spinning round in my head How I regret everything that I said Why did I tell you to go Saving my pride but losing my soul I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night Lost In the dark and my fears If only you saw the tracks of my tears I think I'm losing my mind Where did you go and what did you find I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone The hours go by What else could I do but to cry I call and I call Just to make things right Have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night I call and I call Just to make things right have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night [synth solo] I'm here all alone Still wait by the phone the hours go by what else could I do but to cry I call and I call just to make things right have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I call and I call just to make things right have I lost the fight Where were you last night I beg and I cry I keep asking why Where were you last night Where were you last night Where were you last night Where were you last night |

As the sun sets down in the west Another sleepless night comes her way Working late for the ruler of the street Finding her way trough hard times Trying to make a good life Selling her body to strangers in the night Emerald eye - hold on to the signs of a distant thunder roaring in the sky As the sun rises up in the east Another tyrann adores his world Diamond rings and a monument of gold Born to take over the throne A creature without heart Feeding a violent legacy of lies Emerald eye - hold on to the signs Of a distant thunder roaring in the sky Emerald eye - gaze into the light Hear the distant thunder roaring across the sky |

Like a whirlwind of neon through empty streets The crusader forever races A message he brings to the chosen one On the wings of a fire-spitting dragon Remember his name you'll hear it again As the clouds of the tempest gather From the skies he'll return with the speed of light And the sword of vengeance higher See the calm before the storm Fire and ice Sleeping visions come to life again Fire and ice Out of the night Nation by nation he'll conquer the world A warrior shows no mercy From the arctic cold to the tropical night Far and wide goes the glourious journey |

Working hard all day To control the final dream Side by side we walk Towards a blinding arctic storm I head your voice on the line Struggling to find the words So let me tell you something I knew right from the beginning There won't be a next time No more lies A new day's dawning You turn and walk away The night is falling You turn and walk away But when the spotlight hits the stage The time has come to say Here I am Here I am Working hard all night As the world's forever turning Between two fires sleeping On the outside looking in I hear your voice on the line Struggling to find the words Now let me tell you something We agreed on from the beginning |

Dreaming of a different light And the people feed the fire An experiment that failed Created virtual royalblood Facing the enemy A new kind of war where the Only ones to carry on Are made of stone cold steel Iron claws of terror Penetrate our hearts Mankind invented evil Then set it free History of times to come Where's the paradise? Guardians of night still call From the other side Pull the plug! You say and the hero saves the day When nightmares and reality Unite and become one A brainwashed society Where the leaders cannot see The visions of an alien Until all dreams are gone Iron claws of terror Infiltrate our minds Mandkind brought out the evil And now you see... Soldiers without face invade The temple of mankind |

As we stop one moment To think about our lives The melody keeps changing But the song remains the same What's our destination What are we heading for Actions of tomorrow Depend on yesterday In the house of my soul I feel a fire burning In the heart of the young The roud to freedom's turning As the storm keeps raging In a distant world I hear the violent thunder But still escape the rain I feel a fire burning - in the house of my soul I feel a fire burning - in the house of my soul |

Listen up, listen to me Hear my warning Look around, rise and feel Another dawning When winds carry pieces of love Play the game but play it safe Stay forever Find a way, march in pain Through this jungle Where winds carry pieces of love In a dream I'm immortal I never gave a thought for tomorrow disorder Yesterday brought me a dark trail of sorrow A life of chaos passes by before my eyes While silent dreams are coming closer, look out! An evil virus took my soul on a rainy night Symbolic thoughts of destiny Immortal, disorder, immortal Feels like I'm slippin' away to a world of disorder |

Over the mountains across the sea Come the men of eternal night Hooded disciples of misery Leading the evil crusade Through forests of darkness in faraway lands Obeying the spell of the priest With hearts made of iron and bullets of steel Delievering goods to be seen Winds of winter still blow Through the trees Wounded warriors fall On their knees Before the ravenwing Faces from the past return with dreams Rise ravenwing High above the holy battlefield Beyond the rainbow in no mans land Where armys prepare for the fight The chains of a savage from caves in the north Break as the dawn fades to black Chaos and mayhem in wastelands of hate And storms turning cities to dust The men of the night standing by for the pain With fear in the hearts of the damned ...and into the stargate we raised On a solid foundation |

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too I just might reward myself with a beer or two This inn the place of many romantic tales On the loft women offer their sales But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone A slave she is but for me a rose undone Hear me sing Watch me dance Play that lute of thine And share with me this dance As she danced my eyes began to shine There she was the maiden so divine How could I approach her with my outlook so poor Her beauty being much more than I could endure So I asked if I could sing a chanson With a language of ancient and of lore Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags Soon were the melodies heard by everyone Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us this tale With a clap of hands The stories long - forgotten we still know Performing our skills wherever we go I end my story as I receive a kiss From my girl the dearest Beatrice Hear us sing Watch us dance Sing with us the tales Which the music will keep alive |

Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him I knew them all In the fields of dying oath: I'd kill them all to save my own Cut me free Bleed with me Oh, no One by one We will fall Down down Pull the plug End the pain Run'n fight for life Hold on tight This ain't my fight Deliver me from this war It's not for me it's because of You Devil's instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself Cut me free... "I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell. My path made up by their torn bodies. Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust... Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore" They wait for me back home They live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed "The ultimate high as all beautiful dies. A ruler's tool, priest's excuse, tyrant's delight... I alone, Great White Hunter. I'll march till the dawn brings me rest. 10th patriot at the gallow's pole!" Cut me free |

A nocturnal concerto
밤의 협주곡 Candlelight whispers me where to go 촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠 Hymn of gathering stars as my guide 나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가 As I wander on this path of the night 내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이. Embroidery of the stars 별들의 자수 Undress my feelings for this earth 이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고 Send me your salva to heal my scars 내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고 And let this nakedness me my birth 그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠 Macrocosm poured its powers on me 대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠 And the hopes of this world I now must leave 그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠 The nightwish I sent you centuries ago 내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤 Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe 고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던. The distance of our bridal bed 우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리 Await for me to be dead 내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는 Dust of the galaxies take my hand 우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고 Lead me to my beloved's land 나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요 Departed by the guillotine of death 죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고 I received a letter from the depth 나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠 The dream of my lover it carried inside 내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요 Caressed by the sharpest knife 가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은 I asked you to be my wife 당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠 Rays of the setting sun 지는 태양의 빛이 Were my tears wept upon promises undone 이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠 Come to me 내게 와요 Make me believe to you and your love again 내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요 Above the universe 우주 위에서 Beneath the Great Eye 위대한 눈 아래에서 I shall desire you forevermore 나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다... |

The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning Away, away in time Every dreamas a journey away Away to a home away from care Everywhereas just a journey away The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest ? The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night Away... Cherish the moment Tower the skies Donat let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying "For this gift of dream I must pay the price With the loss of lifeas pleasures" |

Beauty and the Beast
Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a send of beauty left behind Ah dear friend I remember the night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you... |

As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight |

one winter's night Arrested he was bound They said there'd been a robbery his pistol had been found They marched him to the station house he waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock he knew that he'd been wronged You stand accused of robbery he heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away for ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and the seas a prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear but yet he dare not say Just where he had been that fateful night a secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend he'd spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell he looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be Over the hills and far away he swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and far away she prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas back in his arms again she'll be |

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter symbolic yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolves An agreement immemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany wall the charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey from a cave begins I want to hunt with the tameless heart I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for our children flow Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame I want to hunt with the tameless heart... |

She Is My Sin
Take heed, dear heart Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you Dressed as one A wolf will betray a lamb Lead astray the gazers The razors on your seducing skin In the meadow of sinful thoughts Every flower`s perfect To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear A sin for him Desire within A burning veil For the bride too dear for him A sin for him Desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin I am the Fallen You are what my sins enclose Lust is not as creative As its discovery To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear A sin for him... Bless me, undress me Pick your prey in a wicked way God I must confess... ...I do envy the sinners |

For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry - Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don`t care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed "Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!" "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves" "Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones" "Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game" "Run away with your impeccable kin!" "- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors` guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know?" 4 pink ones 9 blue ones 2 black ones - In memory of the Redeemers 20.4.1999 |
