Nightwish
Single • 2002
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A witnessed the beauty of the beast" Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path "Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name... The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"

A star falls down from the darkened sky, where new worlds born and die. Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow. What it means is soon to be known. Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace. On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu. To honor this moment even the Heavens cease. Giant spiders learn how to swim, with whales they form a united kin. Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground. In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound. Trilobite and Anymalocharis, the prey and the hunter. Survival of the fittest, fall of man. Seadrops foam all empty human skulls, those on the shores of Atlantis. Darwin's resurrection is witnessed by turtles he used to play with. Healed and happy she oversees the mother. The tyrant's return to the sea!
