Nightwish Song Of lyrics [1. From A Bookshelf] [2. All That Great Heart Still] The nightingale is still locked the cage deep breath I took still poisons my lungs An old sheltering me from the blue bathing on it's dead frozen leaves A in the ghost town of my heart She dreams of storytime and river ghosts Of mermaids, of Whitman's the rude Raving gigantic toys A song of song in need Of a courageous A verse of mea verse in a ppure-heart singing me to peace that great heart lying still and slowly dying All that great lying still on an angelwing All great heart lying still silent suffering Smiling like a until the show has come to an end What is left encore Is the same old dead boy's Sung in that great heart lying still and slowly dying All that great heart still on an angelwing A flight into Covington Woods A princess and panther by m side These are Territories I for I'd give mt everything to love you more [3. Black] A silent A hollow opus #1, 3 Sometimes the sky piano black black over cleansing waters Resting pipes, verse bore keys without a door Sometimes the within is black black over cleansing waters All that great heart lying and slowly dying All that great heart lying still on angelwing [4. Love] see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, With a bowl in his shaking hand. Trying to smile hurting infinitely. Nobody notices. I do, walk by. An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his It's half-light and he's in When he finally comes his are cascading. I see a beaten in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me. All pride has his wild eyes. I wish I had my to spare. A mother visits her son, smiles him through the bars. She's never him more. An obese enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly her neck. Terribly perfume deafens me. going to dinner alone. That makes even more beautiful. I a model's face on a brick wall. A statue of porcelain perfection beside a city kill. A city that worships The 1st thing I heard was a wandering telling his story It was you, the grass under bare feet The campfire in the dead of The heavenly black of sky and It us Roaming the rainy roads, combing guilded beaches Waking to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted Clad nothing but the surf - beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the of nature In early air the dawn of life A to silence the heavens I want to travel where life it's permanent lead Where the air tastes snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born I would pass man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe a world of sensation Love, goodness simplicity (While violated and by technology) The thought my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true That love infintie, As never be the man my father is can you "just be yourself" When you don't know you are?

Who I to judge a priest, beggar, Whore, wrongdoer? am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, play every rule There's no fear in a "Is there village inside this snowflake?" a child asked me "What's the colour of lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as touched it's silver lining Death is the winner any war Nothing noble in dying for religion your country For ideology, for another man, yes Paper is dead without Ink idle without poem All the world without stories Without love disarming beauty Careless realism souls Ever seen Lord smile? he care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten pre-apocalypse is you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles wonder If will never change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but I am Is and mirrors Still given may I be deserving And there remains the change from G to E minor
