NIGHTWISH LYRICS Nightwish (1997 DEMO)

1. Nightwish

Oh, setting Sun,
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose slumber wakes me in the sky.

The bridal bed awaits us both
After the landscape of death I have crossed.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

The voice of nightly winds has awakened me,
Amidst all the grief they embrace me with relief.
Beneath my dreams and wishes
I long for thy caresses.

The bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I have crossed.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

"Passed away in silence
The flute from the realm unseen
Empties its heart
Making love to me
With its enchanting melody.
Light of Orion,
Shadow of Andromeda,
Call of the dancing Universe.
The labyrinth I must enter
Before thou can blame my soul
With an age of peace"


2. The Forever Moments

The ticktock of time allows me to see
An authent to an echo
New butterfly to a cocoon
The swan to ugly duckling
The lake to an ocean

The deep times awake
As I can calm myself to yesterday
The flower has fallen its petals
Out of the petals a cradle I will

My cradle rocks with the waves of time
The time of beauty will never be the same
Falling again has no man's knowing
Please take me, take me with thee

Now I hear my mother from the deep
Sing me a lullaby of eternal sleep
With thou replant the plaster call
This and silence we seek to reborn
