1. :O
   You don’t like Meadows of Heaven?
   Shame…
   Haha, kidding.
   :]

   Thanks for the lyrics.

   Can you maybe do For The Heart I Once Had?
   That song means everything to me…
   xDDD

   Nice job translting too!
   Haha.
   :)

2. Thanks a lot for that, Tutu bless you!
   Nightwishly yours.

   Comment by Michael Rock — August 7, 2007 @ 6:19 pm

3. Thanks for this! Few things though:

   I’m pretty sure Bye Bye Beautiful doesn’t include “die” at all. After careful listening, it sounds like “bye” again.

   And a few things for 7 Days To The Wolves:

   “They’re going near us
   They come to take us”

   I think it’s “time growing near as they come to take us.”

   “This is where heroes and cowards are ???”

   I believe this sounds like “this is where heroes and cowards await”

   Comment by Tom — August 7, 2007 @ 11:54 pm

4. In “Sahara”:

   “Ancient ??? in the sea of sand” is definitely this:

   “Ancient Mariner in the sea of sand”, confirmed by Tuomas himself in a finnish magazine “Soundi” 7/07.

   thx, 7 days to the wolves were good, I just cant wait to read the whole lyrics, mostly of the part which Marco shouts in the end:

   Is it “Heroes come forth”, or something different??

   Comment by dragothica — August 8, 2007 @ 1:57 am

5. In “Seven days to the wolves” it is:

   “This is where heroes and cowards part ways”
   for me every time I listen to the song I hear it that way.

   Comment by dragothica — August 8, 2007 @ 2:00 am

6. Michael Rock: Anything for fellow Nightwish fans :)

   Tom: I’m a bit unsure about Bye Bye Beautiful; although it’s difficult to hear in the middle of the song, I hear a clear “die” in the end of the song. 7 Days to the Wolves–thank you, I can hear the “time growing near” clearly now that you’ve said it :) Upon listening to that track again, though, I heard that it definitely is “heroes and cowards part ways” in the middle. As to the end, I’m unsure–the ending-syllable seems to be “el”.

   Dragothica: Thanks for the “mariner” part! It sounds logical, too. Just came to the same conclusion about 7 Days to the Wolves.

   Best song is still The Poet and the Pendulum or Whoever Brings the Night, though!

   Comment by Tim — August 8, 2007 @ 6:14 am

7. Thanks for these lyrics! What about For the heart I never had? I can’t find those lyrics anywhere :P

   Comment by Kath — August 8, 2007 @ 8:37 am

8. Yes, after listening again, it’s definitely “this is where heroes and cowards part ways” - sorry, my bad.

   I find the whole idea of “die” being in Bye Bye Beautiful a little extreme. We all know by now that the song’s about Tarja and though the band members did have bad feelings towards her, I’m sure they wouldn’t wish death upon her. But I don’t know, I could be wrong. We’ll have to wait until the album’s released.

   I agree about The Poet and the Pendulum being the best song! It’s probably my favourite Nightwish song of all time, I’m really impressed with it.

   Comment by Tom — August 8, 2007 @ 11:25 am

9. Hi.

   Is it not the second Sahara’s line “It goes through Light” (Not Night I mean)?
   …

   Comment by Warmth — August 8, 2007 @ 1:15 pm

10. leave the city of fools … May be still city of wolves?..

    Comment by Warmth — August 8, 2007 @ 1:38 pm

11. Kath: I haven’t had time to transcribe either it, The Islander or Master Passion Greed. If you want to contribute, feel free :)

    Tom: I suppose “die” is more in a metaphorical sense. Tuomas was quit extreme in The Poet and the Pendulum and Master Passion Greed too, don’t you think? We’ll have to wait for the album release, I guess.

    Warmth: You seem to be right about Sahara. I’m still confused by the first few lines in it, though. They just don’t make any sense. As to “city of wolves”, it would seem more logical, but I’m fairly sure that I hear the F clearly.

    Comment by Tim — August 8, 2007 @ 2:33 pm

12. I think that in Bye bye beautiful it should be
    “for the blinded siblings walking the dying earth”

    at least the last word is definately not heart because it is pronounced completely different.

    Comment by Tapani — August 8, 2007 @ 6:20 pm

13. In “cadence”, the line “Her ??? me” under the voiceover i think it actually sounds like “with bated breath i wait”

    Comment by prkl — August 8, 2007 @ 8:30 pm

14. Tapani: I agree that it certainly is not “heart”. However, I can hear the H in the beginning of the word, so “hearth” seems reasonable.

    Comment by Tim — August 8, 2007 @ 8:53 pm

15. YES !
    At least !
    I was waiting for them for so long and now I find them. >.

    Comment by Claudia ! — August 8, 2007 @ 9:21 pm

16. prkl: Nice, I’ll update the lyrics.

    Claudia: Congratulations :)

    Comment by Tim — August 8, 2007 @ 10:41 pm

17. Evangeline: Sorry, seems like you got caught in the spam filter. Meadows of Heaven is just too slow! I liked Sleeping Sun and Deep Silent Complete, but this one doesn’t even have the good lyrics. I’ll see if I get time for The Heart I Once Had. By the way, lucky you getting named after a Nightwish song. You must have good parents.

    Comment by Tim — August 9, 2007 @ 3:59 pm

18. What I could make out from For the Heart I Once Had:

    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
    Rythm of the falling snow
    Like ??? the river ??? 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 cares
    For the heart I once had

    ??? today ???
    To understand the weight of the world
    ???
    My weak and hoping heart

    For the child, for the night,
    For the heart I once had
    I believe I’ve foreseen
    Everything I could ever be

    For the heart I’ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows because it cares
    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 cares
    For the heart I once had

19. xD
    This isn’t my real name. Haha. I use this name for various other things, other than using my real name.
    LAWLZ, my dad said if he had known about that name it would be mine now. xDDD

    I got the lyrics of For The Heart I Once Had. Maybe we should compare them?
    Haha~

    Love,
    Eva

    Comment by Evangeline — August 9, 2007 @ 8:43 pm

20. Post them then :)

    Comment by Cavalary — August 9, 2007 @ 8:47 pm

21. Cavalry: Thanks! Third line in the second stanza seems to be “like there below the river now flows” although I can’t imagine Tuomas using “like” like that. Also the chorus seems to be “The music flows because it loves” instead of “cares”. At least the first time, I can hear the L. “Faded and torn” seems to be the start of the line after the “weight of the world” part. Perhaps Eva can shed some light with her lyrics.

    Roth: You’re right, thanks!

    Eva: Haha, it was close, then. It’d be great if you posted your lyrics. I’m updating the post with my version of Cavalry’s now.

    By the way, something tells me that you guys are in a different time zone..

    Comment by Tim — August 10, 2007 @ 2:44 am

22. Not sure, but in “Bye Bye, Beautiful” it could be:

    Field of skulls for
    The girl in white blindfold
    For the blinded siblings
    Walking her dying earth
    Lose around a choking heart
    Eternity torn apart
    So toll now
    The funeral bells

    No need to guide you through a lie!

    Not sure tho’. Will keep listening :)

    Comment by Roth — August 10, 2007 @ 9:14 am

23. In “Cadence of her Last Breath” I think it’s

    Breath taking butterfly
    Chose a dark day to live

    instead of

    Her taking butterfly…

    Makes more sense, too :)

    Comment by Roth — August 10, 2007 @ 9:16 am

24. Hey, don’t spell my nick, er… right! lol
    That “there below” still doesn’t seem to fit in to me, and in the chorus truth be told it doesn’t sound like either cares nor loves, but I’m still going for cares. Thanks for the “faded and torn”.
    Of course, we’ll probably find that we made plenty of mistakes when it’ll be launched and they’ll put them up, but what’d be the fun otherwise? :)
    Put up a page with all, picked up from various places (and FtHIOH and The Islander that I couldn’t find and tried to figure out myself - was tired when I tried The Islander so there are probably plenty of mistakes, not to mention several lines missing). Here you go: http://cavsplace.mostly-harmless.ro/?page_id=103 TPatP is the only one I didn’t check, just copied it straight from a site I found it on.
    I seem to be +3h from you.

    Comment by Evangeline — August 10, 2007 @ 5:10 pm

26. Gah!
    It didn’t show!
    Let me type it again…

    Heaven today is far away
    To a place I once called home
    Heart of the child, but for the side
    As another love goes cold
    Once my heart beat to the
    Rhythm of the fallen snow
    Blackened below the river that flows
    A stream of mount the virgin snow[???]

    For the heart I’ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows because ti longs
    For the heart I once had

    Heaven today without a place
    Two wonders; the weight of the world
    Faded and torn I’ll never lorn
    My weakened, hoping heart
    For the child, for the night
    For the heart I once had
    I believe and foresee
    Everything I could ever be

    For the heart I’ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows because it longs
    For the heart I once had

    Time will not heal a dead boy’s scars
    Time will give…

    For the heart I’ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows because it longs
    For the heart I once had

    I’m sorry to say that my new most favorite Nightwish song is Last of the Wilds.
    I mean, I LOVE Anette’s singing, but still…
    That song sent shivers up my spine and makes me active.
    No song has ever done that before.
    Haha, so yeah, here are the lyrics.

    Comment by Evangeline — August 10, 2007 @ 5:19 pm

27. “It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower
    Not the flower that forsakes the tree
    Some day I’ll learn to love this dance”

    Perhaps I heard this differently - every time I hear this song, I always think these lyrics are:

    “It’s not the dream that forsakes the flower
    But the flower that forsakes the dream
    Some day I’ll learn to love these stars”

    Thanks so much for putting up the lyrics!

    Comment by Nevaeh — August 11, 2007 @ 1:39 am

28. The wolves, my love will come
    Taking us from where dust once ???

    I’d say that it is like that:
    The wolves, my love will come
    Taking us home where dust once for some men.

    Comment by Lin — August 11, 2007 @ 2:51 pm

29. Think it’s “where dust once was a man”.

    Oh yah, told you that didn’t sound like either cares nor loves in FtHIOH. Found somebody saying it’s “longs” somewhere, that makes far more sense.

    Have 6 full (of course that doesn’t mean they’re right, can only be sure of the 2 that they posted) and only missing a tiny bit of 2 others. :)

    Comment by Cavalary — August 11, 2007 @ 2:57 pm

30. just what I’ve heard:

    Heaven today is far away
    To a place I once called home
    Heart of a child, /what can I say/
    As another love grows cold

    /Every/ today ???
    To understand the weight of the world
    Faded and torn, there or gone
    My weak and hoping heart

31. isn ´t there ,in sahara, the first two words my balade

    Comment by aleien — August 14, 2007 @ 12:57 pm

32. I think that in ”7 days to the wolves” the first verse goes like this:

    The wolves, my love will come
    Taking us from where dust once was a man…

    Comment by Natalija — August 14, 2007 @ 3:31 pm

33. I think as follows…
    Caress the one
    never-fading rain in your heart
    The tears of snow-white sorrow
    Caress the one
    hiding amaranth
    In a land of the daybreak

    without the two timed “the” at the beginning of the 2d and the 4th lines…
    I think she just sings so… with kinda sustain :)

    Comment by Warmth — August 14, 2007 @ 9:03 pm

34. I’ve been posting some guesswork on LyricWiki (http://lyricwiki.org/Nightwish:Dark_Passion_Play_(2007)). Has anyone figured out the spoken verse bit (”Today, in the year of our lord, 2005…”)? The second-last line does sound somewhat like “walking and dead” but it just doesn’t quite fit IMO given how the rest of the lyrics tend to make sense, heh.

    And I

    Comment by Neoflame — August 16, 2007 @ 6:35 pm

37. Hiya! I was looking for the lyrics of Sahara and I found them :D Anyway, since you do not have the lyrics of Master Passion Greed or The Islander, I’ve Googled them.. These were pretty much the only lyrics I could find, and then I’ve listened to the songs and added some parts.. IT IS FAR FROM PERFECT.

    MASTER PASSION GREED

    Hey, who the hell are you to tell me
    What to do What to do why bother her
    Ancient, a master worth you
    Frustrated till I ever think of you again
    Attitude ???
    And ruin my own world big dark
    ??? nowhere to run, no, no, more more more

    Master passion greed
    Master passion greed

    Hello, how are you?
    …stand the pain…me
    But it isn’t so hard to see
    I see no sense in doing this
    Good enounh for me…suck…

    Someday
    Someday you shall free painting you weak

    Master passion greed
    Master passion greed
    Master passion greed
    Master passion greed

    Oh redeemer god, come failing …
    Hoping that the pain will fade away

    Greed, your master passion and see
    The mountain…
    …masses…

    Seek her, seduce her, tame her
    Blind her, have her, kill her
    Seek her, seduce her, tame her
    Blame her, face it all alone

    Seek her, seduce her, tame her
    Blind her, have her, kill her
    Seek her, seduce her, tame her
    Blame her, face it all alone

    Aah..

    When awakening the tears will begin
    Till my everlasting shame silence stuck me

    THE ISLANDER

    An old man by a sea shore at the end of day
    gazes the horizon with sea in his face
    temp is to silence
    seasons all the same
    Anchoress in pain
    and a ship without a name

    A sea without a shore
    for the vanished when unheard
    It lightens the people lie at the end of world
    Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
    the ones and their travels gone won from won

    This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying, the tears we left behind longer gone

    The albatross is flying
    they’re hear their greed
    time before me when we not stay
    Princess in the tower, children in the field
    life giving it all and all the universe
    Oh, now is just a memory, a ghost in the fog
    incenses to the world
    anchor to the water, see me far below
    Brast and a little smile hear scrow

    This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying, the tears we left behind longer gone

    So longer gone

    This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world
    Horizon crying, the tears we left behind longer gone

    So longer gone

    Comment by Cherelle — August 16, 2007 @ 7:47 pm

38. Also, I think that in FtHIOH the 1st verse goed like this:

    Heaven today is far away
    To a place I once called home
    Heart of a child will find a side
    As another love grows cold

    an the 2nd verse like this:

    Even today without the pain
    To understand the weight of the world
    Faded and torn I’ll never lorn
    My weak and hoping heart

    ^^ It sounds like that to me, even though it does not make much sense lol.

    Comment by Cherelle — August 18, 2007 @ 3:32 pm

39. Hi. Many thanx for these lyrics. Not sure if someone else noticed but I think in The Poet and the Pendulum it goes “I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world” not “I cannot die, I, the whore for this cold world”. Not big mistake and I can be wrong too but… Thanx again for lyrics

    Comment by Isoarska — August 25, 2007 @ 10:59 pm

40. Bye bye beautiful: Im quite sure he dosnt sing “die, die beautiful”. Its only repeat of “bye bye”.

    Comment by TKo — August 26, 2007 @ 7:39 am

41. in Bye Bye Beautiful, what about
    “No need to guide you through life”
    instead of
    “No need to die
    ??? lie” … ?

    Comment by Tiamat — August 27, 2007 @ 9:55 am

42. Hi!

    It is definitely not “Die” in “Bye Bye, Beautiful”
    I’m pretty sure it’s “cry”

    …
    Bye bye, beautiful
    Cry cry, beautiful

    Comment by Daydreamer — August 27, 2007 @ 7:08 pm

43. 2 Cherelle:
    About Master Passion Greed
    Toumas said that there will be “Hey, Judas, your Cristess was our love”, so there cannot be such worlds as “attitude” in first verse

    2Daydreamer
    “cry, cry” and “die, die” both, I think=)

    Sorry my English, I don’t know it very well, I’m stupid in grammar=)

    Comment by Celestia — August 30, 2007 @ 9:48 am

44. @Celestia

    K, thanks xD

    About The Poet And The Pendulum, I’ve been browsing the NW webshop, an don one of the PatP shirts was a tiny bit of the lyrics so:

    Sparkle, a scenery
    With childish lies, I fall
    With beauty underneath
    The end, I’m free
    Tuck me in
    beneath the blue,
    Beneath the pain,
    beneath the rain,
    Goodnight kiss for a child in time,
    Swaying blade my lullaby

    Comment by Cherelle — August 31, 2007 @ 3:51 pm

45. hi ! in the poet and the pendulum, i think it goes:
    tuck me in, beneath the blue, beneath the pain, beneath the rain. because that’s what is written on nightwish t shirt on their we shop.
    but thank you for the lyrics!

47. It’s ‘Bye Bye Beautiful, Bye Bye Beautiful’ not Die Die Beautiful…Do you really think that Thuomas will say ‘Die Die’ to Tarja…

    Comment by Kevin — September 1, 2007 @ 12:07 pm

48. 2Kevin:
    hmmm… remember, for example Slaying a dreamer.
    Who thought that Tuomas could say ‘bastards’ and ‘i truly hate you all’ about his friends?
    The same way with Tarja. He is a poet, a romantic. I can understand him, ‘coz some moments, I think I could ‘kill’ some people who tryed to spoil my life. And I write about it, I write verses… And some of them… Truly cruel. I can’t write it to you, ‘coz I think, you don’t know russian such well to read it=) But ‘die, die’ I think, there are not such cruel worlds=)

    Comment by Celestia — September 1, 2007 @ 5:26 pm

49. and oh, plus=)
    ‘bye bye’ here it means not ‘goodbye’, but ‘go to hell’, I think. So, ‘die, die’ - why not?

    Comment by Celestia — September 1, 2007 @ 5:29 pm

50. in For the Heart I Once Had
    instead of
    Time will not heal a dead boy’s
    Time will kill

    i think that is:
    Time will not heal a dead boy ’cause
    Time will kill

    Comment by kanytu — September 2, 2007 @ 8:56 pm

51. Bye Bye Beautiful - how about

    “It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower
    but the flower that forsakes the tree
    Someday you’ll learn to love these scars”

    Comment by storm — September 4, 2007 @ 8:37 am

52. in the poet and the pendulum it’s not

    “…
    Tuck me in
    Beneath the blue
    Beneath the great
    Beneath the ray
    One night reigns a journey in time
    See them, the light”

    but

    “…
    tuck me beneath the b lue
    beneath the pain, beneath the rain
    goodnight kiss for a child in time
    swaying blade my lullaby”

    a friend of mine got a shirt from nuclear blast with this lyrics on it.

    Comment by Tiamat — September 4, 2007 @ 9:59 am

53. Meadows of Heaven:

    1. “A wood and a spring without laughter” - funny, but wrong. Should be (99%):
    “A wooden swing without laughter” - does fit to the Rocking chair and the sandbox - childhood garden ;).

    2. “Until I see the first star-fall” –> not star-fall, but star of fall. There are stars which can be seen just in autumn - think that refers to this fact.

    Comment by Celestia — September 4, 2007 @ 3:52 pm

55. I think Sahara goes like this:

    My ballad of a dark queen
    Echoes through light
    As he fears the curse of gods
    The pharaoh’s wrath

    One-thousand-one nights I’ve seen
    The philosopher and the queen

    Ancient mariner
    In a sea of sand
    The burding beauty is doomed to die for

    One-thousand-one nights I’ve seen
    The philosopher and the queen

    One night of song and regret

    Heaven has a darkened face
    Here was a soaring ??? on a chase
    Caravan of the catch
    Chasing him
    Across the ways

    Lay him or rest under ridges of mirage
    As the sun slowly turn to Elysian fields

    One-thousand-one nights I’ve seen
    The philosopher and the queen

    One-thousand-one nights I’ve seen
    The philosopher and the queen

    Comment by Cherelle — September 6, 2007 @ 5:00 pm

56. Could it be “Wooden Spin” in the Meadows of Heaven ? It doesn’t sound like …a Spring. the context is quite odd if that’s spring, nor spin : >

    Comment by In the Meadows of Heaven ? — September 11, 2007 @ 6:39 pm

    Comment by Tim — September 15, 2007 @ 8:20 am

58. Read my post, number 56, it has to be “wooden swing”. 100 % sure bout that.

    Comment by Wurzelwombat — September 15, 2007 @ 9:52 am

59. I think ‘For The Heart I Once Had’ goes like

    Heaven today has gone away
    To a place I once called home
    Heart of a child, one final sigh
    As another love grows cold

    And I think Cherelle is right about Sahara.

    Taking him to the white lands
    Of Empathica
    Of Innocence
    Empathica
    Innocence

    ”HOME”

    The dreamer and the wine
    Poet without a rhyme
    A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell

    One last perfect verse
    Is still the same old song
    Oh Christ how I hate what I have become

    Take me home

    Getaway, runaway, fly away
    Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
    I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
    I cannot die, I, a whore for the 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, a whore for the cold world

    My home was there `n then
    Those meadows of heaven
    Adventure-filled days
    One with every smiling face

    Please, no more words
    Thoughts from a severed head
    No more praise
    Tell me once my heart goes right

    Take me home

    Getaway, runaway, fly away
    Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
    I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
    I cannot die, I, a whore for the 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, a whore for the cold world

    ”THE PACIFIC”

    Sparkle my scenery
    With turquoise waterfall
    With beauty underneath
    The Ever Free

    Tuck me in beneath the blue
    Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
    Goodnight kiss for a child in time
    Swaying blade my lullaby

    On the shore we sat and hoped
    Under the same pale moon
    Whose guiding light chose you
    Chose you all

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

    You live long enough to hear the sound of guns,
    long enough to find yourself screaming every night,
    long enough to see your friends betray you.

    For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar.
    Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.
    I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for ”.

    ”DARK PASSION PLAY”

    2nd robber to the right of Christ
    Cut in half - infanticide
    The world will rejoice today
    As the crows feast on the rotting poet

    Everyone must bury their own
    No pack to bury the heart of stone
    Now he`s home in hell, serves him well
    Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell

    The morning dawned, upon his altar
    Remains of the dark passion play
    Performed by his friends without shame
    Spitting on his grave as they came

    Getaway, runaway, fly away
    Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
    I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
    I cannot die, I, a whore for the 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, a whore for the cold world

    Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
    Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.
    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?
    The blade will keep on descending
    All you need is to feel my love

    Search for beauty, find your shore
    Try to save them all, bleed no more
    You have such oceans within
    In the end
    I will always love you

    The beginning.

    Bye Bye Beautiful

    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

    Amaranth

    Baptised with a perfect name
    The doubting one by heart
    Alone without himself

    War between him and the day
    Need someone to blame
    In the end, little he can do alone

    You believe but what you see
    You receive but what you give

    Caress the one, the Never-Fading
    Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
    Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
    In a land of the daybreak

    Apart from the wandering pack
    In this brief flight of time we reach
    For the ones, whoever dare

    You believe but what you see
    You receive but what you give

    Caress the one, the Never-Fading
    Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
    Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
    In a land of the daybreak

    Reaching, searching for something untouched
    Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling

    Caress the one, the Never-Fading
    Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
    Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
    In a land of the daybreak

    Cadence Of Her Last Breath

    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

    Master Passion Greed

    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 fuck 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

    Eva

    6:30 winter morn
    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

    Sahara

    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

    top

    Whoever Brings The Night

    We seduce the dark with pain and rapture
    Like two ships that pass in the night
    You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor
    Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind

    All you love is a lie
    You one-night butterfly
    Hurt me, be the one
    Whoever brings the night

    The Dark, created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night
    Eyes so bright, seductive lies
    Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part
    Poison dart of desire

    All you love is a lie
    You one-night butterfly
    Hurt me, be the one
    Whoever brings the night

    Choose a bride
    Tonight a fantasy for a zombie
    Hurt me, I love to suffer
    Your harem`s a dream for free

    Enter
    Suck from us and live forever
    Rotten beauty
    Will haunt you for a lifetime

    Come with me underwater
    And drown to despise me no more
    Unholy, unworthy
    My night is a dream for free

    All you love is a lie
    You one-night butterfly
    Hurt me, be the one
    Whoever brings the night

    For The Heart I Once Had

    Heaven today is but a way
    To a place I once called home
    Heart of a child, one final sigh
    As another love goes cold

    Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow
    Blackened below, the river now flows
    A stream of molten virgin snow

    For the heart I`ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows, because it longs
    For the heart I once had

    Living today without a way
    To understand the weight of the world
    Faded and torn, old and forlorn
    My weak and hoping heart

    For the child, for the light
    For the heart I once had
    I`ll believe and foresee
    Everything I could ever be

    For the heart I`ll never have
    For the child forever gone
    The music flows, because it longs
    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 longs
    For the heart I once had

    The Islander

    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 so long ago

    7 Days To The Wolves

    The wolves, my love, will come
    Taking us home where dust once was a man

    Is there Life before a Death?
    Do we long too much and never let in?

    Howl
    7 days to the wolves
    Where will we be when they come
    7 days to the poison
    And a place in heaven
    Time drawing near as they come to take us

    This is my church of choice
    Love`s strength standeth in love`s sacrifice

    For the rest, I have to say to you
    I will dream like the God
    And suffer like all the dead children

    Howl
    7 days to the wolves
    Where will we be when they come
    7 days to the poison
    And a place in heaven
    Time drawing near as they come to take us

    This is
    Where heroes
    And cowards
    Part ways

    Light the fire, feast
    Chase the ghost, give in
    Take the road less traveled by
    Leave the city of fools
    Turn every poet loose

    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

66. And in Bye Bye Beautiful,there is no cry cry, or die dies. It’s ALL Bye Bye. DO you honestly think Tuomas would tell Tarja to cry, or even die? Jeez…

    Go on the internet and look these up. Don’t try to write them yourself and say they are accurate.
