Nightwish

"In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath"

"The moon witch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend Home Gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him"

"Love me before the last petal falls."

"However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember, beauty is found within"

"...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you..."

"Why? Was the wine of the grail Too sour for man to drink"

"I hear you Through the symphonic voices of nature The purity I could never doubt They tell me to lie on the grass And observe my saviour The one crucified to the chirping of birds"

"Hymn of gathering stars as my guide As I wander on this path of the night"

"The nightwish I sent you centuries ago Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe"

"Departed by the guillotine of death I received a letter from the depth The dream of my lover it carried inside"

"Above the universe Beneath the Great Eye I shall desire you forevermore"

"Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows Oh Lord why The angels fall first?"

"Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light"

"Sacrifice me Tutankhamen And let me be your queen Take me Tonight and always We'll breed to fill all earth"

"Old love lies deep you said Deeper shall be the wound between your legs"

"Know why the nightingale sings Is the answer to everything"

"Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf"

"Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with"

"Oracle of the Delphian Domine Witness of Adam's frailty Seer of the master prophecy The stellar world her betrothed"

"Enchantment has but one truth: I weep to have what I fear to lose"

"I knew you never before I see you never more But the love the pain the hope O beautiful one Have made you mine 'till all my years are done"

"Without you The poetry within me is dead"

"Hail the Oceanborn!"

"Disgraced is my virginity Death has woven my wedding dress Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew For you are the cradle of the image of god"

"From cradle to coffin Shall my wickedness be your passion"

"We shall come to set the dolphins free We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas The eternity will begin once again in peace"

"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"

"A sight so cursed Breasts which never nursed"

"An Aphrodite for mortal souls Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep"

"In my world Love is for poets Never the famous balcony scene"

"Crystal pond awaits the lorn Tonight another morn for the lonely one is born"

"You think you dwell in wisdoms sea Still sweet ignorance is the key To a poet's paradise Challenge the Riddler and you will see..."

"For nature hates virginity I wish to be touched Not by the hands of where's and why's But by the Oceans' minds"

"The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral "Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee""

"Open thy veins for my venom Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue So shalt thou join the empyrean circus Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance In this twilight cathedral Shall I wed thee, O Bride of the Netherworld"

"Join my soul the Hunter in the sky"

"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"

"Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go"

"Patriotic to the promised land of never-waking dream."

"The dreams remain – they only break."

"First ones to walk this path of night Lady in black lady in white Followed by legions of night-time wanderersGuardians of the halls of heart When we from my homeland depart To challenge the gods of emptiness May the quest begin!"

"Take heed, dear heart Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you Dressed as one A wolf will betray a lamb"

"I am the Fallen You are what my sins enclose Lust is not as creative As its discovery"

"God I must confess... ...I do envy the sinners"

"Need to understand No need to forgive No truth no sense left to be followed"

"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"

"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"

"Dry the rain from my beaten face Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine"

"The only true love I ever knew was behind those downcast eyes. The only comfort I ever felt was during those long hours of loneliness when I felt for you. I do believe only Innocence can save the world."
