Angels Fall First Angels Fall First é o primeiro álbum do Nightwish, lançado em 1997 pela Spinefarm Records. A edição limitada tinha somente sete canções, duas das quais não estavam na edição normal. Foi o primeiro trabalho do grupo com o baterista Jukka Nevalainen, que entrou para a banda em maio de 1997. As canções desse álbum são raramente tocadas em concertos com exceção de “Elvenpath” e “Beauty and the Beast”. No primeiro DVD e CD ao vivo da banda, From Wishes to Eternity, o vocalista do Sonata Arctica, Tony Kakko, canta os versos masculinos de “Beauty and the Beast”, Sem um vocalista substituto, Holopainen cantou as partes de si mesmo enquanto tocava teclado. Angels Fall First é muito diferente de seus outros lançamentos. Ele é muito mais folk metal e acústico que seus sucessores. Seu som folk é também mais ou menos reduzido em álbuns posteriores. Track List 1. Elvenpath 2. Beauty and the Beast 3. The Carpenter (primeiro single) 4. Astral Romance 5. Angels Fall First 6. Tutankhamen 7. Nymphomaniac Fantasia 8. Know Why the Nightingale Sings 9.

Elvenpath Hearing music from the deepest forest The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Songs as a seduction of sirens introduced me to her old friend home gnome the elf-folk is calling me told me to keep the sauna warm for him Tapio, bearking, ruler of the forest At the grove i met rest-the folk of my fantasies mielikki, bluecloak, healer of the ill and sad bilbo, sparhawk, goblins and pixies, open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path snowman, willow, trolls and the seven dwarfs the path goes forever on The way to the lands where as a hero i stand [repeat chorus] the path where beauty met the beast Elvenpath As i return to my room and as sleep takes me by my hand Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the honesty of these worlds madrigals from the woods ruled by magic and mighty swords carry me to neverland that makes my soul long for the past in this spellbound night Elvenpath the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an elvish sight

Beauty And The Beast Remember the first dance we shared? If no love did flow in thee recall the night you melted my uglyness away? but as my heart is occupied The night you left with a kiss so kind your love to me now has to die only a scent of beauty left behind forgive me, i need more than you can offer me Ah, dear friend i remember the night Didn’t you read the tale the moon and the dreams we shared where happily ever after was to kiss a frog? your trembling paw in my hand Don’t you know this tale dreaming of that northern land in which all i ever wanted touching me with a kiss of a beast i’ll never have for who could ever learn to love a beast? I know my dreams are made of you of you and only for you however cold the wind and rain your ocean pulls me under i’ll be there to ease up your pain your voice tears me asunder however cruel the mirrors of sin love me before the last petal falls remember, beauty is found within As a world without a glance ...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you... of the ocean’s fair expanse such the world would be if no love did flow in thee

The Carpenter Who are you? The carpenter Man condemned to shine a salvation carved his anchor throughout the centuries on the dying souls of mankind Why ? on the tomb of this unknown soldier Was the wine of the grail lay the tools of the one too sour for man to drink who for us has died tools of the carpenter The carpenter carved his anchor I hear you on the dying souls of mankind through the symphonic voices of nature on the tomb of this unknown soldier - the purity i could never doubt lay the tools of the one they tell me to lie on the grass who for us had died and observe my saviour tools of the carpenter the one crucified to the chirping of birds The one they lick the same old sick dream of their precious saviour Kiss them deep and Make them weep over promises of eternal peace

The carpenter carved his anchor on the dying souls of mankind on the tomb of this unknown soldier lay the tools of the one who for us has died tools of the carpenter

Astral Romance A nocturnal concerto Departed by the guillotine of death candlelight whispers me where to go i received a letter from the depth hymn of gathering stars as my guide the dream of my lover it carried inside whilst i wander on this path of the night Caressed by the sharpest knife Embroidery of the stars i asked you to be my wife undress my feelings for this earth rays of the setting sun send me your salva to heal my scars were my tears wept upon promises undone and let this nakedness be my birth Come to me Macrocosm poured its powers on me make me believe and the hopes of this world i now must leave to you and your love again the nightwish i sent you centuries ago has been heard by those who dwelled in a woe Above the universe beneath the great eye The distance of our bridal bed i shall desire you forevermore await for me to be dead dust of the galaxies take my hand lead me to my belovedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land

Angels Fall Fir st An angelface smiles to me Needed elsewhere under a headline of tragedy to remind us of the shortness of our time that smile used to give me warmth tears laid for them farewell - no words to say tears of love, tears of fear beside the cross on your grave bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows and those forever burning candles oh, lord why the angels fall first Needed elsewhere to remind us of the shortness of our time Sing me a song tears laid for them of your beauty tears of love, tears of fear of your kingdom bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows let the melodies of your harps oh, lord why caress those whom we still need the angels fall first Yesterday we shook hands Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La my friend nor enlightened by lessons of Christ today a moonbeam lightens my path iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never understand the meaning of the right my guardian ignorance lead me into the light

Tutankhamen As the sun sets beyond the pyramids Sacrifice me to greet me with its rays Tutankhamen i place my hand on my forehead and let me be your queen to see your chariots’ flames take me tonight and always Watch me kneel before you we’ll breed to fill all earth hear the cats meowing in the temple they yearn the milk you cascaded Three milleniums it took me to guard your rest as i yearn that promised treasure your slumber in mighty phoenix’s nest but tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished Treasure of for Carter has come to free my beloved Tutankhamen i am the one it is Treasure of take me with you Tutankhamen through the stargate i am the one it is to the valley of the kings take me with you through the stargate to the valley of the kings

Nymphomaniac Fantasia The scent of a woman was not mine... Welcome home, darling did you miss me? wish to dwell in dear love? Touch my milklike skin Feel the ocean Lick my deepest Hear the starry choir Rip off this lace that keeps me imprisoned But beware the enchantment for my eroticism is your oblivion Old love lies deep, you said Deeper shall be the wound between your legs

Know Why The Nightingale Sings? What does the free fall feel like? making love to the gods above asks the boy with a spark in his eye on my maiden voyage so bold know why the nightingale sings? Is the answer to everything Landing safely to the blue lagoon donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if this is the earth or the moon Taking a step to a world unbound joy of living is no more a mask spinning my fantasies all around the eden i found will forever last freed from the gravital leash i swear the heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in my reach Migrating with the geese my soul has finally found peace Dancing with the spirit of the air doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter that man has no wings in this ocean so open and fair as long as i hear the nightingale sing...

Lappi (Lapland) [1 Erämaajärvi] Day posesses no key here where moon sheds the cold twilight Kautta erämaajärven this moment is eternity matkaa kulkuri yksinäinen näkee lammella joutsenparven Land of beauty, vapauttaan itkevän cold and cruel fjeld chants echoing, Kaipuu menneisyyden reflecting the melancholy... kiirii ilmassa huutoina kotkien ikijärveltä turvatuulta Trust the wind käy matka vuorten taa trust the fires call for the hermit of the night [2 Witchdrums] Land of raven and bear [3 This moment is eternity] land of eagle and wolverine dismal are the mirrors of a wolf [4 Etiäinen]

Once Upon A Troubadour A lonely bard wandering across the lands am i So i asked if i could sing a chanson singing dancing finding answers to every why with a language of ancient and of lore the taverns are full and one crosses my path, too gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags i just might reward myself with a beer or two soon were the melodies heard by everyone This inn the place of many romantic tales Hear us sing on the loft women offer their sales watch us dance but my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone sing with us this tale a slave she is but for me a rose undone with a clap of hands Hear me sing watch me dance play that lute of thine and share with me this dance

The stories long-forgotten we still know performing our skills wherever we go i end my story as i receive a kiss from my girl the dearest beatrice

as she danced my eyes began to shine Hear us sing there she was the maiden so divine watch us dance how could i approach her with my outlook so poor sing with us the tales her beauty being much more than i could endure which the music will keep alive

A Retur n To The Sea A star falls down from the darkened sky Trilobite & anymalocharis where new worlds are born and die the prey and the hunter kingdom animalia watches its approaching glow survival of the fittest what it means is soon to be known fall of man Beneath the lovely birch Seadrops foam all empty human skulls honeymakers build their nest in peace those on the shores of atlantis on the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu darwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resurrection is witnessed to honor this moment even the heavens cease by turtles he used to play with giant spiders learn how to swim with whales they form a united kin Healed and happy she oversees the mother Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground the tyrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the sea in the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound

Sacr ament Of Wilder ness Naked in midwinter magic I want to hunt with the tameless lies an angel in the snow i want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar - the frozen ficure crossed by tracks of wolves we will honor the angel in the snow an encounter, symbolic, yet truthful we will make the streams for our children flow with a hungry choir of woods an agreement immemorial to be born wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights from my cave i watch the land untamed Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest and wonder is some becoming season accompany all charming tunes will make the angel melt in shame of a sacrament by a campfire a promise between the tameless [Repeat chorus] and the one with a tool tonight the journey from cave begins

The Riddler Riddler, riddler ask me why Riddler, riddler ask me why the birds fly free on a mackerel sky all mothers beneath the earth and sky ask me whither goes the winds hold theait children’s hands for a while whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins their hearts forever... yours and mine Make me guess if the earth is flat or round Make me wonder what’s the meaning of life set a guessing if fantasies are unbound what’s the use to be born and then die if tale aren’t just for children to see make me guess who’s the one that it’s peace is sleep walks with me behind the mask of father and son As you wish for kingdom come the one to know all the answers you think you dwell in wisdom’s sea still, sweet ignorance is the key to a poet’s paradise challenge the riddler and you will see

[Repeat chorus] For nature hates virginity i wish to be touched not by the hands of where’s and why’s but by the ocean’s minds [Repeat chorus]

Pharao Sails To Orion “Get away from me! Reveal your face to me and guide me though the stygian fields take heed to thyself and see my face no more! enthral my soul to sepedet’s beams to serve your will for in the day thou see my face thou shalt die!” Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance tales like the ocean written to the draco’s glance Exodus 10:28 Ruling with the scythe of death you tear out philosophies apart A constellation of divine architecture built on earth an ancient starwalk to merge into the stars a holy harbour - orion nautical ascension to the firmament “Open thy veins for my venom kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to so shalt thou join the emryrean circus the wisdom of this land where beggars mourn and seraphs dance Sailing with the serpent chimera of a fiendish sandman in this twilight cathedral shall i wed thee, The unicorn arrives with the west wind o bride of the netherwolrd” to dream his funeral “Thou art born for horus dwells in thee” [Repeat chorus] Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb Join my soul the Hunter in the sky “Thou art born for seteh dwells in thee”

A Retur n To The Sea We’re walking in the air Taken by surprise We’re floating in the moonlit sky Nobody down below believes their eyes The people far below are sleeping as we fly We’re surfing in the air I’m holding very tight We’re swimming in the frozen sky I’m riding in the midnight blue We’re drifting over icy I’m finding I can fly so high above with you mountains floating by Far across the world Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep The villages go by like trees Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep the rivers and the hills The forest and the streams We’re walking in the air We’re floating in the midnight sky Children gaze open mouth And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Sleeping Sun The sun is sleeping quietly Sleeping once upon a century weeping wistful oceans calm and red with you ardent caresses laid to rest Sorrow has a human heart For my dreams i hold my life from my god it will depart for wishes i behold my night i’d sail before a thousand moons the truth at the end of time never finding where to go losing faith makes a crime Two hundred twenty-two days of light I wish for this night-time will be desired by a night to last for a lifetime a moment for the poet’s play the darkness around me until there’s nothing left to say shores of a solar sea oh how i wish to go down with the sun I wish for this night-time... I wish for this night-time...

Nightquest Born to the false world, the wanderer, A merry minstrel with his fingers fast storyteller, the pied piper playing his lute, charming every lass on a quest for immortality joins the troop with a glitter in his eye gathering a troop to find the fantasy “ Shall I find fame or shall I die” Led by a maid - queen of the night A warrior of power along the path voice of angels, such a divine sight a hammerheart, his gallantry to last an amazon to fight and cure rhythm of sirens, enemies, take heed this reality with her feline lure for in this war laws are a silent sleep Patriotic to the promised land of neverwaking dream Nightquest - quest not for the past but for tomorrow to make it last simply the best - way to walk this life hand in hand with the dreamers’minds

Patriotic to the promised land of neverwaking dream “Come to the elfland” the eldest said, “In my guidance you shall not be afraid, i am the mastermind, the wizard to show the way”

First ones to guard this path of night Enter the realm, don’t stay awake lady in black, lady in white the dreams remain, they only brake followed by legions of night-time wanderers forget the task, enjoy the ride and follow us into the night Guardians of the halls of heart when we from our homeland depart to challenge the gods of emptiness may the quest begin

Never sigh...

Born from silence, silence full of it “If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it a perfect concert my best friend remember only the verse, songmaker’s cry the one without tears so much to live for, so much to die for for i’ve given this its strength and it has become my only if only my heart had a home strength. Comforting home, mother’s lap, chance for immortality Sing what you can’t say where being wanted became a thrill i never knew forget what you can’t play the sweet piano writing down my life” hasten to drown into beautiful eyes walk within my poetry, this dying music “Teach me passion for i fear it’s gone - my loveletter to nobody show me love, hold the lorn so much more i wanted to give to the ones who love me Never sigh for better world im sorry it’s already composed, played and told time will tell (this bitter farewell) every thought the music i write i live no more to shame nor me nor you everything a wish for the night and you...

Over The Hills and Far Away

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

Tenth Man Down Today i killed, he was just a boy “I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell eight before him, i knew them all my path made up by their torn bodies in the fields a dying oath... man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust I’d kill them all to save my own call me a coward but i can’t take it anymore” 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 Deliver me from this war it’s not for me it’s because of you devil’s instant my eternity obey to kill to save yourself Cut me free ...

They wait for me 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 ruler’s tool, priest’s excuse, tyrant’s delight... i alone, the great white hunter i’ll march till the dawn brings me rest 10th patriot at the gallow’s pole!” Cut me free ...

Away The days were brighter The wild calls no more gardens more blooming wishes so hollow the nights had more hope the barefoot boy in their silence the wild was calling weeping in an empty night wishes were whispering the time was there Away ... but without a meaning cherish the moment Away, away in time tower the skies every dream’s a journey away don’t let the dreamer away to a home away from care fade to grey like grass everywhere’s just a journey away no falling for life a gain for every loss The days departed time gathered me gardens deserted but kept me flying this frail world my only rest? “For this gift of dreami must pay the price with the loss of life’s pleasures”

Astral Romance A nocturnal concerto Dust of the galaxies take my hand candlelight whispers me where to go lead me to my beloved’s land hymn of gathering stars as my guide while i wander on this path of the night “This constant longing for your touch this bitter ocean of hatred and pain Embroidery of the stars this loneliness i need to be who i am” undress my feelings for this earth send me your salva to heal my scars “The oceans are as lone as i and let this nakedness me my birth somebody take away this gift of mine no charisma for the beast! Macrocosm poured its powers on me but still i love you forevermore” and the hopes of this world i now must leave the nightwish i sent you centuries ago “Come to me has been heard by those who dwelled in a woe deliver me from you and from all the days of the earth” The distance of our bridal bed await for me to be dead No last words to say only memories remain a farewell then, my path goes forever on

Jukka Nevalainen Data de Nascimento: 21/04/1978 Local de residência: Joensuu, Finlândia Interesses (Hobbies): Filmes e caminhar Trajetória musical: Comecei a tocar bateria com 11 anos mas eu não podia realmente praticar, já que não tinha um lugar apropriado pra isso. Então, basicamente eu fazia uns exercícios no sofá mesmo ou em qualquer coisa que fosse um alvo no momento. Minha primeira banda, aos 11 ou 12 anos, chamada “The Highway”, era bem legal... Depois, quando estava com 15 ou 16 anos, comecei a tocar em outro grupo. Tínhamos um local para ensaiar onde tocávamos algumas vezes por semana. Após deixa-los, comecei a tocar com o Emppu e conseguimos um lugar fixo para ensaiar. Era uma bênção, uma vez que dali em diante poderíamos tocar quando quiséssemos. E tocamos bastante! Começamos fazendo mais rock Finlandês, mas logo passamos pra algo mais pesado, na linha do Stratovarius, Helloween. Aos 17 anos Tuomas e Emppu me chamaram para participar de um projeto chamado Nightwish e o resto é história. Primeiro disco que comprou: O “Arise”, do Sepultura. 5 álbuns que influenciam sua música: Gladiator - Trilha sonora original Dream Theater - Images And Words Metallica - Black Album Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory

Bless The Child “I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I’ve never felt so alone in my life i was weak, yet not unblessed. As i drank from a cup which was counting my time dead to the world. alive for the journey. there’s a poison drop in this cup of man one night i dreamt a white rose withering, to drink it is to follow the left hand path a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. “Where have all the feelings gone? A witnessed the beauty of the beast” Why is the deadliest sin - to love as i loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, Where have all the feelings gone? soon to be freed from care, from human pain. Why has all the laughter ceased? My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Why am i loved only when i’m gone? Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, Gone back in time to bless the child hope is only an illusion & ocean soul’s nothing but a name... think of me long enough to make a memory come bless the child one more time The child bless thee & keep thee forever” How can i ever feel again? Given the chance would i return?

End Of All Hope It is the end of all hope to lose the child, the faith to end all the innocence to be someone like me this is the birth of all hope to have what i once had this life unforgiven it will end with a birth

Angels, they fell first but iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still here alone as they are drawing near in heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung Wounded is the deer that leaps highest and my wound it cuts so deep turn off the light and let me pull the plug

Mandylion without a face No will to wake for this morn deathwish without a prayer to see another black rose born end of hope deathbed is slowly covered with snow end of love end of time the rest is silence

Dead To The Wor ld All the same take me away we’re dead to the world

I studied silence to learn the music i joined the sinful to regain innocence

The child gave thought to the poet’s world heaven queen, cover me gave comfort to the fallen in all that blue (heartfelt, lovelorn) little boy, such precious joy is dead to the world Remaining, yet still uninvited those words scented my soul Heaven queen, carry me (lonely soul, ocean soul) away from all pain all the same take me away It’s not the monsters under your bed we’re dead to the world it is the man next door that makes you fear, makes you cry, Dead, silent, constant makes you cry for the child yet always changing all the wars are fought among those lonely men - my favorite view of this world unarmed, unscarred As he died, he will return to die in me again I don’t want to die a scarless man weaving the cloth, giving birth to the century child a lonely soul who gave his life not for the world but for me (tell me now what to do) innocence reborn once more

Ever Dream Ever felt away with me Bosom for a teary cheek just once that all i need my song can but borrow your grace entwined in finding you one day Come out, come out wherever you are Ever felt away without me so lost in your sea my love, it lies so deep give in, give in for my touch ever dream of me for my taste for my lust Would you do it with me Your beauty cascaded on me heal the scars and change the stars in this white night fantasy would you do it for me turn loose the heaven within “All i ever craved were the two dreams i shared with you. one i now have, will the other one ever dream remain. I’d take you away For yours i truly wish to be.” castaway on a lonely day

Slaying The Dr eamer I’m a priest for the poorest sacrifice Dumb kid, living a dream i’m but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed romantic only on paper you bathed in my wine drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme Tell me why you took all that was mine! your slit tongues licked my aching wounds stay as you lay - don’t lead me astray! Put a stake through my heart! Wake up, mow the weed and drag me into sunlight you’d be nothing without me so awake for your greed take my life if you have the heart to die as you’re slaying the dreamer You bastards tainted my tool Swansong for the wish of night raped my words, played me a fool god it hurts, give a name to the pain gather your precious glitter and leave me be our primrose path to hell is growing weed the great ones are all dead and i’m tired, too Blame me, it’s me coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat I truly hate you all!

Forever Yours Fare thee well, little broken heart downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Constant longing for the perfect soul unwashed scenery forever gone No love left in me no eyes to see the heaven beside me my time is yet to come so iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be forever yours

Ocean Soul One more night Should i dress in white and search the sea to bear this nightmare as i always wished to be - one with the waves what more do i have to say ocean soul Crying for me was never worth a tear Walking the tideline my lonely soul is only filled with fear i hear your name is angels wispering Long hours of loneliness something so beautiful it hurts between me and the sea I only wished to become something beautiful Losing emotion through my music, through my silent devotion finding devotion

Feel For You You were my first love Someday, i will feed a snake the earth moving under me drink her venom, stay awake bedroom scent, beauty ardent with time all pain will fade distant shiver, heaven sent through your memory i will wade Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the snow on your lips Barely cold in her grave the freezing taste, the silvery sip barely warm in my bed iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the breath on your hair settling for a draw tonight the endless nightmare, devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lair puppet girl, your strings are mine Only so many times i can say i long for you the lily among the thorns the prey among the wolves

This one is for you for you only for you just give in to it never think again i feel for you

The Phantom Of The Oper a [Christine] [Together] In sleep he sang to me My/your spirit and your/my voice in dreams he came in one combined that voice which calls to me the phantom of the opera is there and speaks my name inside your/my mind and do i dream again for now i find Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there the phantom of the opera the phantom of the opera is there beware the phantom of the opera inside my mind [Phantom] [Phantom] In all your fantasies Sing once again with me You always knew our strange duet That man and mystery my power over you grows stronger yet [Christine] and though you turn from me Were both in you to glance behind the phantom of the opera is there [Together] inside your mind And in this labyrinth where night is blind [Christine] the phantom of the opera is there Those who have seen your face inside your/my mind draw back in fear i am the mask you wear [Phantom] Sing my angel of music [Phantom] Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me they hear

Beauty Of The Beast [Long lost love] Falling inside me cleaning all that i’ve become Trees have dropped their leaves, clouds their waters My home is far but the rest it lies so close all this burden is killing me with my long lost love under the black rose you told i had the eyes of a wolf Distance is covering your way, search them and find the beauty of the beast tears your memory all this beauty is killing me All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains oh, do you care, every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes i still feel for you i wish i had one more night to live so aware, what should be lost is there A saint blessed me, drank me deeply spitting out the misery in me I fear i will never find anyone still a sinner rapes a 1000 saints i know my greatest pain is yet to come sharing the same hell with me will we find each other in the dark my long lost love Sanest choice in this insane world... Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers [One more night to live] [Christabel] Safely away from the world in a dream, timeless domain “Oh, sweet christabel. share with me your poem. a child, dreamy eyed, For i know now, i’m a puppet on this silent stage show. mother’s mirror, father’s pride i’m but a poet who failed his best play. a dead boy, who failed to write an ending I wish i could come back to you to each of his poems.” once again feel the rain 62

Creek Marys Blood [Singing in lakotan]

[Poem in lakotan, english translation]

Soon i will be here no more you’ll hear the tale “I still dream every night through my blood of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies through my people the restless winds over mountaintops and the eagle’s cry the unspoilt frontier of my kith n’kin the bear within will never lay to rest Wandering on horizon road following the trail of tears White man came saw the blessed land we cared, you took you fought, we lost not the war but an unfair fight sceneries painted beautiful in blood

the hallowed land of the great spirit i still believe 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 it was a good day to chant this song For her

Wandering on horizon road following the trail of tears once we were here where we have lived since the world began Our spirit was here long before you since time itself gave us this land long before us [Singing in lakotan] Our souls will join again the wild our home in peace ‘n war ‘n death Wandering on horizon road... following the trail of tears once we were here where we have been since the world began since time itself gave us this land

[Poem in lakotan]

and long will it be after your pride brings you to your end “

The Siren A lady with a violin playing to the seals hearken to the sound of calling Who tied my hands to the wheel? the zodiac turns over me (come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed i hear but how will i see I tied myself to the wheel the winds talk to my sails, not me (come to me) somewhere there my fate revealed i hear but how will i see

Dead Gardens The story behind the painting i drew is already told My song is little worth anymore no more tearstains on the pages of my diary time to lay this weary pen aside tired but unable to give up since i’m the play is done responsible for the lives i saved the curtain’s down The play is done “Where are the wolves, the underwater moon the curtain’s down the elvenpath, the haven of youth lagoons of the starlit sea All the tales are told all the orchids gone Have i felt enough for one man’s deed? lost in my own world or is it time to challenge the ancient of days now i care for dead gardens and let the virgin conceive” All the tales...

Romanticide Godlove and rest my soul Romanticide with this sundown neverending till love do me part the feel is gone yet you ain’t gonna see me fail see me ruined by my own creations i am the decadence of your world i am an eider covered in oil Leave me be... happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore Dead boy’s alive but without sense Tell me why i need a near-death experience no heart to cry heart once bold hang me high now turned to stone perfection my messenger from hell The music is dead, the amen is said the kiss of faith is what i beg Wine turns to water a loving heart ‘n soul for sale campfires freeze, loveletters burn romance is lost Tell me why... lord, let me be wrong in this pain Leave me be and cease to tell me how to feel to grieve, to shield myself from evil leave me be od of lies is killing me

Temporary pain, eternal shame to take part in this devil’s chess game spit on me, let go, get rid of me and try to survive your stupidity

Ghost Love Score We used to swim the same moonlight waters oceans away from the wakeful day

Bring me home or leave me be my love in the dark heart of the night i have lost the path before me My fall will be for you the one behind will lead me my love will be in you if you be the one to cut me Take me i’ll bleed forever cure me kill me Scent of the sea before the waking of the world bring me home brings me to thee every way into the blue memory every day just another loop in the hangman’s noose My fall will be for you my love will be in you Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home if you be the one to cut me every way, every day i will bleed forever i keep on watching us sleep

Into the blue memory Relive the old sin of adam and eve of you and me A siren from the deep came to me forgive the adoring beast sang my name my longing still i write my songs about that dream of mine Redeem me into childhood worth everything i may ever be show me myself without the shell like the advent of may The child will be born again i’ll be there when you say that siren carried him to me time to never hold our love first of them true loves singing on the shoulders of an angel My fall will be for you without care for love n’ loss my love will be in you you were the one to cut me so i’ll bleed forever

Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee Sinussa maailman kauneus Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan

[English translation] Death makes artists Only once i could see my dream didn’t feel the smallness under the stars once i got bars in my cradle as a prisoner i write a letter from there

My lord, to you, let me become what my child thinks i am Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi in you is the beauty of the world, miksi lapseni minua luulee of which death made me an artist my lord, to you, let me become what Oman taivaan tänne loin my child thinks i am Anna minun päästä pois My own heaven i created here let me get away my own heaven i created here let me get away

Higher Than Hope Time it took the most of me Passiontide and left me with no key an angel by my side to unlock the chest of remedy but no christ to end this war mother, the pain ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurting me to deliver my soul from the sword but the love that i feel hope has shown me a scenery when you hold me near paradise poetry with first snow iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be gone The hopes were high the choirs were vast The hopes were high... now my dreams are left to live through you Red sun rising... Red sun rising drown without inhaling Your death saved me within, the dark holds hard red sun rising Red sun rising... curtain falling higher than hope my cure lies

White Night Fantasy Enchantress came to me and said, meet me at the lake tonight I hunt this song to the white through the shroud of snow i saw paradise peace, no more lies Crestfallen soul rest for this night love is here right here under my wings I dream of wolves with them i run for me she lengthened the night i am home i am in peace Crestfallen soul rest for this night love is here right here under my wings

Li ve To Tell The Tale A single grain can tip the scale amidst the burden the scale will prevail showing what’s worth being here storyteller by a hearth of stone a white little creature purring me my childhood kingdom gone in time the islands filling my mind with blue the one in speacial, heaven’s court All the joy unforgiven by this task

An errant soul... Dark chambers of my mind locked around the neck of my love none of you understand and it doesn’t matter to a broken marionette like me An errant soul...

Oh how i hate my kind An errant soul, homeless and foul have it all all gone but the will to yet wish to die live to tell the tale Not mykind but the kind as you are The days are filled with anxiety saints in cain’s mask frustration, one right note a day i love you where to find a perfect tune i just did just do the work and take a step back All the joy...

The Poet

And The Pendulum [Part 1: White Lands Of Empathica] One for god, save me The end. I cannot cry ‘cause the shoulder cries more i cannot die, i, a whore for this cold world The songwriter’s dead. the blade fell upon him taking him to the white lands My home was there and then, of empathica, those meadows of heaven of innocence adventure-filled days empathica one with every smiling face innocence Please, no more words [Part 2: Home] thoughts from a severed head no more praise, The dreamer and the wine tell me once my heart goes right poet without a rhyme a widow writer torn apart by chains of hell Take me home One last perfect verse [Chorus] it’s still the same old song oh christ, how i hate what i have become [Part 3: The Pacific]

Take me home Sparkle my scenery with turquoise waterfall [Chorus] with beauty underneath Get away, run away, fly away the ever free lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway i cannot cry ‘cause the shoulder cries more Tuck me in beneath the blue i cannot die, i, a whore for this cold world beneath the pain, forgive me, beneath the rain i have but two faces goodnight kiss for a child in time one for the world, swaying blade my lullaby

On the shore we sat and hoped The morning dawned upon his altar under the same pale moon Remains of the dark passion play whose guiding light chose you, Performed by his friends without shame chose you all spitting on his grave as they came “I’m afraid, i’m so afraid. [Chorus] being raped, again and again, and again i know i will die alone “Today, in the year of our lord, 2005 but loved. tuomas was called from the cares of the world he stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns, the music he wrote had too long been without silence. long enough to find yourself screaming every night, he was found naked and dead, live long enough to see your friends betray you. with a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.” For years i’ve been strapped unto this altar. now i only have three minutes and counting. Save me i just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death i always longed for.” [Part 5: Mother And Father] [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

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.

Bye Bye Beautiful Finally the hills are without eyes Noose around a choking heart they are tired of painting a dead man’s face eternity torn apart red with their own blood slow toll now the funeral bells they used to love having so much to lose blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins [Chorus] Did you ever hear what i told you? did you ever read what i wrote you? did you ever listen to what we played? did you ever let in what the world said? did we get this far just to feel your hate? did we play to become only pawns in the game? how blind can you be, don’t you see? you chose the long road, but we’ll be waiting Bye bye, beautiful

“I need to die to feel alive” [Chorus] Bye bye, beautiful It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower but the flower that forsakes the tree someday i`ll learn to love these scars still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words How blind can you be, don’t you see? That the gambler lost all he does not have... [Chorus]

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white blindfold for the blind Bye bye, beautiful dead siblings walking the dying earth

Amaranth Baptized with a perfect name the doubting one by heart alone without himself

You believe but what you see? you receive but what you give?

Caress the one, the never-fading War between him and the day rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow need someone to blame caress the one, the hiding amaranth in the end, little he can do alone in a land of the daybreak You believe but what you see? Reaching, searching for something untouched you receive but what you give? hearing voices of the never-fading calling Caress the one, the never-fading Caress the one, the never-fading rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow caress the one, the hiding amaranth caress the one, the hiding amaranth in a land of the daybreak in a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack in this brief flight of time we reach for the ones, whoever dare

Cadence Of Her Last Breath

Running for her life Save one death for me! the dark rain from her eyes still falls breathtaking butterfly A loner longing for chose a dark day to live (run away, run away, run away, run away) the cadence of her last breath (run away, run away, run away, run away) Save one breath for me! Put to rest all that`s not life A loner longing for drink for beauty and fill my blank page. the cadence of her last breath. Sometimes a dream turns into a dream Why do i miss someone i never met? with bated breath i lay sea winds brought her to me a butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life and all the poetry in the world finally makes sense to me

A loner longing for (run away, run away, run away, run away) the cadence of her last breath

A loner longing for (run away, run away, run away, run away) the cadence of her last breath (run away, run away, run away, run away)

Master Passion Greed Who the hell are you to tell me Master passion greed what to do, why to do, why bother? master passion greed leech in a mask of virtue master passion greed such waste, to ever think of you again. master passion greed Hey judas, your christens was our love. All within me gone but pain and hope, hit and run, you’re be done. hoping that the pain will fade away. never sorry, never wrong, more, more, more, more, more. Greed your master passion, i feed the mouth that bites me. Master passion greed Mammon, opiate of the masses, master passion greed The reek of your lies draws flies. “Hello, how are you? Let me explain one thing. All for her and more for me. Why is it so hard to see? I see no sense in doing this, Not enough for me, I fuck up everything but let me explain.”

(4x) Seek her, seduce her, tame her, blame her, have her, kill her.

Some day With awakening the tears will begin. To my everlasting shame silence took me. Some day you shall flee, Panting and weak.

Eva 6:30 winter morn snow keeps falling, silent dawn a rose by any other name eva leaves her swanbrook home. A kindest heart which always made me ashamed of my own. she walks alone but not without her name. [Chorus] Eva flies away, dreams the world far away. in this cruel childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, edenbeam we kill with her own loving heart.

Sahara A ballad of dark queen echoes through night Heaven has a darkened face, as he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath. dunes are soaring as on a chase. caravan of the cursed [Chorus] chasing him across the waves. One thousand one nights unseen, the philosopher and the queen. May he now rest under aegis of mirage as the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields. Ancient mariner in a sea of sand, the burning beauty his tomb to die for. [Chorus] [Chorus] (One thousand one) (Horizon`s swarming with death run!) [Chorus] (One thousand one) (One thousand one) (One thousand one)

Whoever Brings The Night We seduce the dark with pain and rapture [Chorus] like two ships that pass in the night. You and i - a whore and a bashful sailor. Choose a bride tonight, Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind. a fantasy for a zombie. Hurt me - i love to suffer. [Chorus] Your haremâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream for free. All your love is a lie, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one-night butterfly. Enter, Hurt me, be the one suck from us and live forever. whoever brings the night. Rotten beauty will haunt you for a lifetime. The dark created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night. Eyes so bright, seductive lies Come with me under water crimson masquerade where i merely played my part and drown to despise me no more. poison dart of desire. Unholy, unworthy, my night is a dream for free. [Chorus x2]

For The Heart i Once Had Heaven today is but a way Faded and torn, old and forlorn to a place i once called home. my weak and hoping heart. heart of a child, one final sigh as another love goes cold. For the child, for the night for the heart i once had Once my heart beats to the rhythm of the falling snow i believe and foresee blackened below. everything i could ever be. the river now flows - a stream on molten virgin snow. [Chorus] [Chorus] For the heart iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never have, Time will not heal a dead boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scars, for the child forever gone Time will kill. the music flows because it longs for the heart i once had. [Chorus] Living today without a way to understand the weight of the world.

The Islander An old man by a sea shore at the end of day The albatross is flying, making him daydream gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face. the time before he became - one of the world`s unseen Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same. princess in the tower, children in the fields Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name. life gave him it all: an island of the universe. Sea without a shore for the vanished one unheard Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog. he lightens the beacon, light at the end of world. He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world. Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts, Anchor to the water, seabed far below, the ones and their travels homeward from afar. grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow. [Chorus] [Chorus x2] This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world. Horizonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crying the tears he left behind long ago.

7 Day To The Wolves The wolves, my love will come i will dream like the god taking us home where dust once was a man. and suffer like all the dead children. Is there life before a death? do we long too much and never let in? [Chorus] [Chorus] Howl! Seven days to the wolves! Where will we be when they come? Seven days to the poison and a place in heaven! Time drawing near as they come to take us.

This is where heroes and cowards part ways. Light the fire, feast chase the ghost, give in. Take the road less traveled by, leave the city of fools, turn every poet loose.

This is my church of choice, [Chorus x2] love`s strength standeth in love`s sacrifice. For the rest, i have to say to you (Heroes, cowards, no more!) [x4]

Meadows Of Heaven I close my eyes, the lantern dies Rocking chair without a dreamer, the scent of awakening, wild honey and dew. a wooden swing without laughter. Childhood games, woods and lakes, Sandbox without toy soldiers, streams of silver, toys of olden days. yuletide without the flight. Meadows of heaven. Dreambound for life. Meadows of heaven. Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden The flowers of wonder and the hidden treasures, until i see the first star of fall. in the meadow of life, my acre of heaven. I fall asleep and see it all: A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care and colour of the kites. sailing the waves of past. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven. Meadows of heaven.

The Escapist Who’s there knocking at my window? Journey homeward bound The owl and the dead boy a sound of a dolphin calling this night whispers my name tearing off the mask of man all the dying children the tower, my sole guide Virgin snow beneath my feet This is who i am painting the world in white escapist, paradise seeker i tread the way and lose myself into a tale farewell, now time to fly out of sight, out of time, away from all lies Come hell or high water my search will go on A nightingale in a golden cage clayborn voyage without an end that’s me locked inside reality’s maze come someone make my heavy heart light A nightingale in a golden cage come undone, bring me back to life that’s me locked inside reality’s maze it all starts with a lullaby come someone make my heavy heart light come undone, bring me back to life It all starts with a lullaby

The Crow and the War rior Once in the silence of the woods in the shadows of a crescent moon

“I have heard thee come since the moon was full the owls knew what thou knew not oh thee children, thee almighty creatures ignorant are thee of thy width of knowledge

The eyes scan the beautiful nocturne the ears enjoy silent songs “i have seen things and heard talks Under question should thou place thy concepts thy eyes are blind and ears deaf to of ubermensch and untermensch for man has never, and will never even be positioned Words carried in the nightly breeze images in the autumnal grass” Hath the words of the crow once in the silence of the woods vanished with the echo into the night under the spiral of oaken branches descended dark shadows and covered the eyes Breathing slowly, heart pounding weakly shadows floating towards his eyes No sorrow felt the old crow the secrets he revealed would remain as such

Bur ning Flames Embrace Walking towards the night... Now all the ashes contain my name the flames once burnt inside i’m one with the dark, Back then i was alive i’ve lost the flame when the fire walked by my side my unleashed thoughts flying to the distant land of dreams... The screaming fire burnt the leaves of mine and left the ashes of divine And disappear in the sand all the leaves contained my name emptiness has filled my heart... I see a blaze but it’s much too far The shadows took them and carried away i try to reach for it, it’s calling my name... firewalk, i want to feel it again... Dance on the flames, does it feel the same? I know it’s my fire with its warm embrace tears of blood, they burn my face... like a frozen flower covered with ice, I want to feel the burning flames’ embrace my soul is cold and ready to die this holy secret turned to a sacred lie The cold night freezing up my sins, i followed it and lost my guide the memories of ice burn my skin but i see the flames of gold dancing and the last one of the leaves is still burning

The Wayfarer I went into the wilderness with uncle walt i discovered the wild learning to suck all the experience seeing the world through cradleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bars The wild blessed me with an errant mind showing the way for the ultimate lore i went around the world, beyond the wild finding my home from an ocean shore Wayfarer, heartlander what if i only had one more night to live Home is where the way is my road goes on forever one more voyage to go Dead to the world alive for the journey

Lagoon Imagine a perfect beach without a mermaid imagine a perfect hideaway without a time Ocean soul Imagine a perfect eden without a friend without a serpent Ocean soul Lonely soul â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feeling lonely and content at the same time, i believe, is a rare kind of happinessâ&#x20AC;? Ocean soul

Sweet little words made for silence First day of love never comes back not talk a passionate hour`s never a wasted one young heart for love the violin, the poet`s hand, not heartache every thawing heart plays your theme with care dark hair for catching the wind not to veil the sight of a cold world Kiss while your lips are still red while he`s still silent Kiss while your lips are still red rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled while he`s still silent hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled drown into eyes while they`re still blind hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool love while the night still hides the withering dawn drown into eyes while they`re still blind love while the night still hides the withering dawn
