Nightwish Lyrics

Album: Oceanborn

Sleeping Sun Lyrics

Stargazers

 A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom

 Child of dew-spangled cobweb, Mother to the Moon

 Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant

 Theater for the play of life

 Tragedienne of heavens

 Watching the eyes of the night

 Sailing the virgin oceans

 A Planetride for Mother and Child

 Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes

 In this ambrosial merrry-go-round they will gaze

 Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show

 Separating the poet from the woe

 (Repeat chorus)

 Oracle of the Delfian Domine

 Witness of Adam's frailty

 Seer of the master prophecy

 The stellar world her betrothed

 Wanderers in cosmic caravan

 Universal bond - The Starborn

 A son in search for the truth

 Following the pages of Almagest

 Discovering the origin of dreams

 Stargazers ride through the ancient realms

 (Repeat chorus)

 . . .

 Gethsemane

 Toll no bell for me, Father

 But let this cup of suffering pass from me

 Send me no shepherd to heal my world

 But the Angel - the dream foretold

 Prayed more than thrice for You to see

 The wolf of loneliness in me

 ...not my own will but Yours be done...

 You wake up, where's the tomb?

 Will Easter come, enter my room?

 The lord weeps with me

 But my tears fall for you

 Another beauty

 Loved by a Beast

 Another tale of infinitely dreams

 Your eyes they were my paradise

 Your smile made my sun rise

 Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain

 Alone in this garden of pain

 Enchantment has but one truth:

 I weep to have what I fear to lose

 (Repeat chorus)

 "Iknew you never before

 I see you never more

 But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautifull one

 Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"

 Without you

 The poetry within me is dead

 "You tell me, my love; It's not love if it's not forever. But let me tell

 you; A Scene could brmuch more to remember than the play itself."

 With Wishes for you, in June '98
