Once upon a time in a day-mare

Dying to meet you, little child
Enter, enter this sideshow

Time for bed, the cradle still rocks

13 chimes on a dead man’s clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you

Your dear innocence boiled to feed
The evil in need of fear

Burning farms and squealing pigs

Pool of snakes to swim with
Oh, sweet poison, bite me, bite me…

“Ladies and gentlemen

Be heartlessly welcome!

To Cirque De Morgue

And what a show we have for you tonight!" 


Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes

Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose

Illusionists, contortionist,

Tightrope-walkers tightening the noose

Horde of spiders, closet tentacles

Laughing harpies with their talons
Ripping, sher-chrisss, per-vizzz

The pendulum still sways for you

Such are the darks here to show you
Child in a corner,
fallen mirrors, all kingdom in cinders

Nightwish – Scaretale

(i swear, this intro reminds me of “Wish I Had an Angel”)

I Want My Tears Back!

The treetops, the chimneys, the snow-bed stories, winter grey

Wildflowers, those Meadows of Heaven, wind in the wheat

A railroad cross waters, the scent of grandfatherly love

Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly’s wings

Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where’s dear Alice knocking on the door?

Where’s the trapdoor that takes me there?

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare?

Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Before the years take me

I wish to see
the lost in me

I Want My Tears Back!

I Want My Tears Back now!


A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone

A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa

Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where’s dear Alice knocking on the door?

Where’s the trapdoor that takes me there?

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare?

Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Before the years take me

I wish to see
the lost in me


Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Before the years take me

I wish to see
the lost in me

I Want My Tears Back!

I Want My Tears Back now!


Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Before the years take me

I wish to see
the lost in me


Where is the wonder, where’s the awe?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Before the years take me

I wish to see
the lost in me
 


I Want My Tears Back!

I Want My Tears Back now!

Nightwish – I Want My Tears Back

Come and share
This painting with me

Unveiling of me
The magician that never failed

This deep sigh coiled around my chest

Intoxicated by a major chord

I wonder, do I love you
Or the thought of you?

Slow, Love, Slow

Only the weak are not lonely

Southern blue, morning dew

Let-down-your-guards, I-love-you’s

Ice-cream castles, lips-to-ear rhymes

A slumber deeper than time

Slow, Love, Slow

Only the weak are not lonely

Slow…Slow, Love, Slow

Slow, Love, Slow
Slow, slow…

Nightwish – Slow Love Slow

6:30, winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn

A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her swan-brook home

A kindest heart which always made

Me ashamed of my own

She walks alone but not without her name

Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away

In this cruel children’s game

There’s no friend to call her name

Eva sails away

Dreams the world far away

The good in her will be my sunflower field

Mocked by man
to depths of shame

Little girl with life ahead

For a memory of one kind word

She would stay among the beasts

Time for one more daring dream

Before her escape, Eden-beam

We kill with her own loving heart

Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away

In this cruel children’s game

There’s no friend to call her name

Eva sails away

Dreams the world far away

The good in her will be my sunflower field

Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away

In this cruel children’s game

There’s no friend to call her name

Eva sails away

Dreams the world far away

The good in her will be my sunflower field

Nightwish – Eva
