NIGHTWISH lyrics : "poet and the pendulum"

?WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA?



The end.

The songwriter`s dead.

The blade fell upon him
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 !@^% 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 !@^% 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 !@^% 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 !@^% 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 !@^% 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 !@^% 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.
