Over the Hills and Far Away
They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away For ten long years, he'll count the days Over the mountains and the seas A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear But yet he dare not say Where he had been that fateful night A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas Back in her arms is where he'll be Over the hills and far away Over the hills and, over the hills and Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms, he swears she'll be Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and the seas Back in her arms is where he'll be Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills (Over the hills) Over the hills and far away Over the hills (Over the hills) Over the hills and far away

Today I killed, he was just a boy Eight before him, I knew them all In the fields, a dying oath: "I'd kill them all to save my own" Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no One by one, we will fall, down down Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life Hold on tight, this ain't my fight Deliver me from this war Its not for me it's because of you Devils instant my eternity Obey to kill to save yourself Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no One by one, We will fall, down down Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life Hold on tight, this ain't my fight "I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell My path made up by their torn bodies Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore" They wait for me far back home The live with eyes turned away They were the first ones to see They are the last ones to bleed "The ultimate high as all beautiful dies A rulers tool, a priests excuse, a tyrants delight... I alone, the great white hunter Ill march till the dawn brings me rest 10th patriot at the gallows pole! " Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no One by one, We will fall, down down Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life Hold on tight, this ain't my fight Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no One by one, We will fall, down down Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

The days were brighter Gardens more blooming The nights had more hope In their silence The wild was calling Wishes were whispering The time was there But without a meaning Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away The days departed Gardens deserted This frail world My only rest? The wild calls no more Wishes so hollow The Barefoot Boy Weeping in an empty night Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away Cherish the moment Tower the skies Don't let the dreamer Fade to grey like grass No falling for life A gain for every loss Time gathered me But kept me flying Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away Away, away, away

A nocturnal concerto Candlelight whispers me where to go Hymn of gathering stars as my guide As I wander on this path of the night Embroidery of the stars Undress my feelings for this earth Send me your salva to heal my scars And let this nakedness be my birth Macrocosm poured it's powers on me And the hopes of this world I now must leave The nightwish I sent you centuries ago Has been heard by those who dwelled in a woe The distance of our bridal bed Await for me to be dead Dust of the galaxies take my hand Lead me to my beloved's land "The constant longing for your touch This bitter ocean of hatred and pain This loneliness I need to be who I am" "The oceans are alone as I Somebody take away this gift of mine No charisma for the beast! But still I love you forevermore" "Come to me Deliver me from you And from all the days of the Earth" No last words to say Only memories remain A farewell then, my path goes forever on

For whom the gun tolls For whom the prey weeps Bow before a war Call it religion Some wounds never heal Some tears never will Dry for the unkind Cry for mankind Even the dead cry Their only comfort Kill your friend, I don't care Orchid kids, blinded stare Need to understand No need to forgive No truth, no sense Left to be followed Facing this unbearable fear Like meeting an old friend "Time to die, poor mates You made me what I am!" In this world of a million religions Everyone prays the same way "Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon " Father help me Save me a place by your side "There is no God Our creed is but for ourselves, hehe Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones" Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain Lust for fame, a deadly game "Run away with your impeccable kin!" Good wombs hath borne bad sons Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie Survivors' guilt In us forevermore Fifteen candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy How were we supposed to know?

Take heed, dear heart Once apart, she can touch, nor me nor you Dressed as one A wolf will betray a lamb Lead astray the gazers The razors on your seducing skin In the meadow of sinful thoughts Every flower's a perfect one To paradise With pleasure haunted Haunted by fear A sin for him, desire within, desire within A burning veil for the bride too dear for him A sin for him, desire within, desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin I am the fallen You are what my sins enclose Lust is not as creative As its discovery To paradise With pleasure haunted Haunted by fear A sin for him, desire within, desire within A burning veil for the bride too dear for him A sin for him, desire within, desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin Bless me, undress me Pick your prey in a wicked way God I must confess I do envy the sinners A sin for him, desire within A burning veil for the bride too dear for him A sin for him, desire within, desire within A burning veil for the bride too dear for him A sin for him, desire within, desire within Fall in love with your deep dark sin

Naked in midwinter magic Lies an angel in the snow The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves An encounter, symbolic, yet truthful With a hungry choir of wolfs An agreement immemorial to be born Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest Accompany all charming tunes Of a sacrament by a campfire A promise between the tameless And the one with a tool Tonight the journey from the cave begins I want to hunt with the tameless world I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for all the children flow Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights From my cave I watch the land untamed And wonder if some becoming season Will make the angel melt in shame I want to hunt with the tameless world I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar I want to hunt with the tameless world I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar We will honor the angel in the snow We will make the streams for all the children flow

We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you All across the world The villages go by like dreams (By like dreams) The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams Children gaze, open-mouthed Taken by surprise Nobody down below Believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky (The frozen sky) We're drifting over icy mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low On an ocean deep Rousing up a mighty monster From his sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly I'm holding very tight (Holding very tight) I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Remember the first dance we shared? Recall the night you melted my ugliness away? The night you left with a kiss so kind Only a scent of beauty left behind Ah dear friend I remember that night The moon and the dreams we shared Your trembling paw in my hand Dreaming of that northern land Touching me with a kiss of a beast I know my dreams are made of you Of you and only for you Your ocean pulls me under Your voice tears me asunder Love me before the last petal falls As a world without a glance Of the ocean's fair expanse Such the world would be If no love did flow in thee But as my heart is occupied Your love for me now has to die Forgive me I need more than you can offer me Didn't you read the tale Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? Don't you know this tale In which all I ever wanted I'll never have For who could ever learn to love a beast? However cold the wind and rain I'll be there to ease your pain However cruel the mirrors of sin Remember beauty is found within ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...
