LYRICS:
[Part 1: White Lands Of Empathica]
The end
The songwriter's dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of empathica
Of innocence
Empathica
Innocence
[Part 2: Home]
The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widow writer torn apart by chains of Hell
One last perfect verse
It's still the same old song
Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become
Take me home
[Chorus:]
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
My home was there and then, those meadows of heaven
Adventure-filled days
One with every smiling face
Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home
[Chorus]
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world
[Part 3: The Pacific]
Sparkle my scenery
With Turquoise waterfall
With beauty underneath
The ever free
Tuck me in beneath the blue
Beneath the Pain
Beneath the rain
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
Swaying blade my lullaby
On the shore we sat and hoped
Under the same pale moon
Whose guiding light chose you
Chose you all
"I'm afraid, I'm so afraid
Being raped, again and again, and again
I know I will die alone
But loved
You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns
Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
Live long enough to see your friends betray you
For years I've been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me
A death I always longed for."
[Part 4: Dark Passion Play]
2nd robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet
Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he`s home in hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
The morning dawned upon his altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came
[Chorus]
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world
"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."
Save me
[Part 5: Mother And Father]
Be still, my son
You`re home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end, I will always love you
The beginning

When you realize that Tuomas is a genius, able to transform a huge pain into a beautiful masterpiece.

Nightwish should be called ` national treasure ` of Finland and of the Planet Earth. Who agrees??

Can we all take a moment to be grateful for having Tuomas with us? ♥ I can't stand the idea of almost losing him.

I am convinced that in a century or two, people in music school will study Tuoma Holopainen as one of the greatest composer of our time like students nowadays are studying Bach or Mozart.
I feel it in my bones.

My CURE - 10 years ago my life was turned upside down overnight as I got very ill with menengitis. I didn´t know at the time, but after returning home from hospital I started my descent into darkness. Cognitive problems, anxiety, fatigue, dizziness persisted and started to become my everyday. There were periods I felt depressed, totally empty and my hope was fading. The worst was the guilt that I had in me for destroying the life I had once wanted for my family. I didn´t feel the beauty in life anymore. I was locked in a prison without walls. That was until I seen Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. I somehow found myself watching it one day. I don´t know where it came from but it was like getting struck by lightning. I cried for the first time in nearly a decade. I couldn´t believe the beauty I felt. It was PURE BEAUTY. I watched it over and over... tears every time. Soon after, I watched this live version of Poet And The Pendulum. I felt so deeply connected to the lyrics. I felt it was written for me. I processed so much pain listening to Poet. I later called it my cure. 1.5yrs on and I´m enjoying my life again, I feel beauty in this world, I am so grateful for my chance to be alive and despite any issues of anxiety and fatigue that still plague me, it´s a wonderful life full of love. Nightwish changed it all for me. I will forever be grateful for Nightwish - the greatest gift to my soul <3 Everyday I listen to Nightwish - they are a part of my soul forever and beyond.

I’m a 51 year old American, who has always been a metal fan. Yet, I’ve been deprived for 50 years and 11 months of the genius that is Nightwish. How is it possible that I have missed out on my instant favorite band since 1996…?! Mind blowingly awesome band.
