Nightwish Album

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 is a perfect one

To paradise with pleasure haunted,
haunted by fear

A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
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,
haunted by fear

A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin

Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God I must confess
I do envy the sinners

A sin for him
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin...

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 ?

Come wet a widow`s eye
Cover the night with your love
Dry the rain from my beaten face
Drink the wine the red sweet taste of
mine

Come cover me with you
For the thrill
Till you will take me in
Come comfort me in you
Young love must
Live twice only for us

For me
For you
Time devours passion`s beauty
With me
With you
In war for the love of you
(Tonight any dream will do)

Not a world but your fine grace
Seduction in sleepwalker`s land
November dressed in May on your
face
Holding us now the lovecropper`s
hand

Come cover me with you...

I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the
Pacific

Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle

I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered into my heart

It`s not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the
distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever
forever
Wanderlust

I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, claiming my place in this
mortal coil

Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but Earth

I want to find...

It`s not the end...

Drown into my eyes and see the
wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the
pathfinder

Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son
Slumber in peace

Cease the pain
Life`s just in vain
For us to gain
Nothing but all the same

No healing hand
For your disease
Drinking scorn like water
Cascading with my tears

Beneath the candle bed
Two saddened angels-in heaven, in
death

Now let us lie
Sad we lived sad we die
Even in your pride
I never blamed you

A mother`s love
Is a sacrifice
Together sleeping
Keeping it all

No sympathy
No eternity
One light for each undeserved tear

Beneath the candle bed
Two souls with everything yet to be
said

Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster

Elbereth
Lórien

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller`s mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the
stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny

Master!...

Silvara
Starbreeze

Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning
song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!

Master!...

Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...

Master!...

Sweet boy, come in
I am the dark side of you
Die for my sins
Like the One once did

Cinnamon bed
For your unashamed appetite
A figurante
This dance will hurt like hell

Oh, bare grace misery
Just a child without a fairytale am I
Dark but so lovely
A Little Match Girl freezing in the
snow

Love lying, enticing
(Bare grace misery)
Crowning the moment
(Bare grace misery)
This is what I am
Bare grace for the end of days

Romantic scent
Spoiled Lucrece lies warm for you
There's no such priest
That can pray me to heaven

When done with me
Forget if you think I feel ashamed
A wild thing
Never felt sorry for anything

Love lying...

Crownless again shall be the queen
Trophy on her grave still remains
unseen
A boat on the river confessing the
sins
The Riddler revealing the deep
hidden things

Crownless again shall be the king
A gull covered in oil with a broken
wing
A hitcher on a road alone and lost
Iron sharpens iron - a truth that once
was

Mine is the Earth and the sword in the
stone
Mine is the throne for the idol
One fleeting moment and it is all gone
Crownless again
Will I fall?

Roaming on razor-sharp castles
Ruling all but myself
(Now my night is laid to sleep)

One fragrant rose worth ten times
what I am
A crippled begging a coin braver than
I ever was
Reflection from me - Devil dressed in
white
Chasten the being
Become what I once was
Mine is the Earth...

In your creation heaven did decree
That in your arms sweet death should
dwell

Deep Silent Complete
Black velvet sea
The sirens are calling for me

Saved my soul thinking "this song's a
lie"
Sand on the shore is so dry

Deep Silent Complete
Black velvet sea
Brave day sinking in endless night

The age will say "This poet lies"
Heaven never touched earthly face
The age will say "This night was
ours"
Blessed with the deep
The Silent, the complete

"I live no more to shame nor me nor
you
I'm sorry"

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,
songmaker'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...

Part 1

Wish upon a star
Take a step enter the land
Walk through the air
Take my hand
Wishmaster`s will-
Join him the quest for dream
A make-believe
Is all we ever need

Wish upon a star
No matter who you are
The second star to the right
Harbinger`s gate
Beyond the boundaries
Blossom ballet
In the great wide somewhere

Wish upon a star
Believe in will
The realm of the king of fantasy
The master of the tale-like lore
The way to kingdom I adore
Where the warrior`s heart is pure
Where the stories will come true

Part 2

A cub of the king betrayed by usurper
A girl in the rain swearing to her
father`s name
Belle the last sight for the dying
gruesome
The beauties sleeping awaiting
Deep in a dream
For true love`s first kiss

Part 3

Bald Mountain Night
Devilheart endures but light
A mad aerial dance
Chernabog`s succubi

Black Cauldron born
Gurgi`s heart forlorn
Pig-keeper or hero
On a quest of augury

Maleficent`s fury
The spindle so luring
Dragon fight, dying night
Dooming might

Apprentice of Yen Sid
Conducting the galaxy
Dreamer on mountaintop
Spellbound masquerade

The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old
in me
The Phoenix of White Agony Creek
Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as
old as time
A Dragonslayer, The Awakener

Wish upon a star...

Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies
Silently the senses
Abandon all defences

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending
masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Hold me near you
So close I sear you
Seeing, believing
Dreaming, deceiving

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending
masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Sleepwalker seducing me
I dare to enter your ecstasy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you're mine to keep

(Sleepwalk with me...)

Sleepwalker seducing me...
