Nightwish

Finnish symphonic metal band

Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. Early on, their lyrical themes predominantly dealt with mythological and fantasy themes. Though these themes are still occasionally used, lyricist Tuomas Holopainen has used more personal lyrics on recent albums, dealing with sexuality, loneliness and childhood, as well as the split with former singer Tarja Turunen.

Tuomas Holopainen, Marco Hietala, Floor Jansen, Jukka Nevalainen, Troy Donockley and Emppu Vuorinen

  • 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.
    • From the album booklet of the 2002 album Century Child.

Song lyrics

I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence,
the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

All lyrics written by Tuomas Holopainen.

  • 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
    • 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
    • Elvenpath
  • Your trembling paw in my hand
    Dreaming of that northern land
    Touching me with a kiss of a beast
    • Beauty and the Beast
  • Love me before the last petal falls.
    • Beauty and the Beast
  • However cruel the mirrors of sin
    Remember, beauty is found within
    • Beauty and the Beast
  • ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...
    • Beauty and the Beast
  • 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
    • The Carpenter
  • Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
    As I wander on this path of the night
    • Astral Romance
  • The nightwish I sent you centuries ago
    Has been heard by those
    Who dwelled in a woe
    • Astral Romance
  • Departed by the guillotine of death
    I received a letter from the depth
    The dream of my lover it carried inside
    • Astral Romance
  • Above the universe
    Beneath the Great Eye
    I shall desire you forevermore
    • Astral Romance
  • Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
    Oh Lord why
    The angels fall first?
    • 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
    • Angels Fall First
  • Sacrifice me
    Tutankhamen
    And let me be your queen
    Take me
    Tonight and always
    We'll breed to fill all earth
    • Tutankhamen
  • Old love lies deep you said
    Deeper shall be the wound between your legs
    • Nymphomaniac Fantasia
  • Know why the nightingale sings
    Is the answer to everything
    • Know Why the Nightingale Sings
  • Dismal are the mirrors of a wolf
    • Lappi (Lapland)

    Those on the shores of Atlantis

    By turtles he used to play with
    • A Return to the Sea
  • Oracle of the Delphian Domine
    Witness of Adam's frailty
    Seer of the master prophecy
    The stellar world her betrothed
    • Stargazers
  • Enchantment has but one truth:
    I weep to have what I fear to lose
    • Gethsemane
  • 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
    • Gethsemane
  • Without you
    The poetry within me is dead
    • Gethsemane
  • Hail the Oceanborn!
    • Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
  • 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
    • Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
  • From cradle to coffin
    Shall my wickedness be your passion
    • Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
  • 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
    • Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
  • 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
  • An Aphrodite for mortal souls
    Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
    Their erotic hour my tearless weep
    Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
    • Passion and the Opera
  • In my world
    Love is for poets
    Never the famous balcony scene
    • Swanheart
  • 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...
    • The Riddler
  • 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 Riddler
  • 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"

    • The Pharaoh Sails to Orion
  • 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
    • The Pharaoh Sails to Orion
  • Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
    • The Pharaoh Sails to Orion
  • 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.
    • Nightquest
  • The dreams remain – they only break.
    • Nightquest
  • First ones to walk this path of night
    Lady in black lady in white
    Followed by legions of night-time wanderers

    Guardians of the halls of heart
    When we from my homeland depart
    To challenge the gods of emptiness
    May the quest begin!

    • Nightquest
  • Take heed, dear heart
    Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you
    Dressed as one
    A wolf will betray a lamb
    • She Is My Sin
  • I am the Fallen
    You are what my sins enclose
    Lust is not as creative
    As its discovery
    • She Is My Sin

  • 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.

    hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

    The Child bless thee & keep thee forever

    • Bless the Child
  • It is the end of all hope
    To lose the child, the faith

    For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show.
    I'm but a poet who failed his best play.
    A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending
    To each of his poems.

    is a rare kind of happiness

    Without an honest heart as compass

    In every night
    In every day
    I am like the caribou
    And you like the wolves that make me stronger
    We never owed you anything
    Our only debt is one life for our Mother

  • Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
    Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.
    He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.
    The music he wrote had too long been without silence.

    He was found naked and dead,
    With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.

    You're home
    Oh when did you become so cold?

    Did you ever read what I wrote you

    One day we'll meet on that shore again
  • Our Decades in the Sun
  • Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns
    Flying higher, higher, higher
    Into the wild
    Weaving my world into tapestry of life
    Its fire golden
    In my Walden
    • My Walden
  • Deep into the past
    Follow the aeon path
    Greet a blade of grass
    Every endless form most beautiful
    Alive, aware, in awe
    Before the grandeur of it all
    Our floating pale blue ark
    Of endless forms most beautiful
    • Endless Forms Most Beautiful
  • We are the Edema Ruh
    We know the songs the sirens sang
    See us dream every tale true
    The verse we leave with you will take you home
    • Edema Ruh
  • We were here
    Roaming on the endless prairie
    Writing an endless story
    Building a Walden of our own
    We were here
    Grieving the saddened faces
    Conquering the darkest places
    Time to rest now and to finish the show
    And become the Music, one with alpenglow
    • Alpenglow
  • We are one
    We are a universe
    Forbears of what will be
    Scions of the Devonian sea
    Aeons pass
    Writing the tale of us all
    A day-to-day new opening
    For the greatest show on Earth
    • The Greatest Show on Earth
  • Man, he took his time in the sun
    Had a dream to understand
    A single grain of sand
    He gave birth to poetry
    But one day'll cease to be
    Greet the last light of the library
    • The Greatest Show on Earth
  • We were here!
    • The Greatest Show on Earth
  • Music
    Fanning the flames of a mystery
    Deepening the listening
    Losing
    Yourself to the endless symphony
    Of now

    Human
    Singing the tale of another man
    Have you ever heard
    Music
    It's coming, coming, coming your way
    The very first song

    • Music
  • Noise
    From a sunless world
    Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
    At a slave of brave new world
    Noise
    To decoy the human voice
    Brain insomniac, paranoiac
    Endless noise
    • Noise
  • Here I came to be
    Your reach into the far
    On the stellar sea
    Cut in little stars
    • Shoemaker
  • Laudato Si
    Ad Astra
    • Shoemaker
  • Join the harvest of hundred fields, hearty and tame
    All going back to one single grain
    Offer light to the coming day, inspire a child
    Water the field, surrender to the earth
    Water the field, surrender to the earth
    Water the field, surrender to the earth
    • Harvest
  • A moment alone
    With unbeknown
    Reset the world
    Imagine home
    A primal need
    To touch the stars
    Only way there
    To enter
    • Pan
  • A pale beautiful theatre stage
    A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy
    The play is yours to write
    Yours to live
    Ready the night by a playwright
    • Pan
  • How's the heart
    Underneath the silence?
    How's the one
    Drowning in the mire?
    Let us sound a human paean
    Come in, the fire's warm
    Burn the rope and dance some more
    • How's the Heart?
  • We have been here a while
    At the end of Pi, as along came harvest
    • Procession
  • We will remember all the suffering
    We wrote this in a tongue you will understand
    Words and melodies with a touch of coloring
    We were there and will remember mankind
    Our kin
    Aeons ago
    • Procession
  • Sing the praise of your creation
    Bride-prices, thought crimes, blind minds
    The Word hides vivid monsters
    To bed the tribal itch
    • Tribal
  • Someone in the tomorrow
    Is waiting for me
    Someone to share the thief with
    Dust with a meaning
    Precious and rare
    • Endlessness
  • An unscarred land
    Unsung yarn
    Unborn child
    Await my touch, the luck of the draw
    Enter now
    Come
    Here is life
    • Endlessness
  • Soon, beyond the fields you've come to know
    You will join the silent flow
    Follow me, I am the spark
    At the end of everything

    Tip the reaper to ensure
    The blade is sharp
    As soon we'll go
    Follow me into the dark
    To the birth of everything

    • Endlessness

    with the loss of life's pleasures
