Nightwish Of Myself lyrics [1. From A Bookshelf] [2. All That Great Heart Lying The nightingale is still locked the cage The deep breath I took still poisons lungs An oak sheltering me from the blue Sun bathing on dead frozen leaves A catnap in the ghost of my heart dreams of storytime and the river ghosts Of mermaids, of Whitman's the rude Raving harlequins, toys A song of mea song need Of courageous symphony A verse of mea verse need Of a ppure-heart singing to peace All that heart lying still and slowly dying All that great heart lying still on angelwing All that great heart still In suffering Smiling like a clown until the show has to an end What left for encore Is the same old boy's song Sung silence All that great heart lying and slowly dying that great heart lying still on an angelwing A midnight flight Covington Woods A princess and a panther by m are Territories I live for I'd still give mt everything to love more [3. Piano A silent A hollow opus 2, 3 the sky is piano black Piano black cleansing waters Resting pipes, of bore Rusting without a door Sometimes the within is piano Piano over cleansing waters All that great heart lying still slowly dying All that great heart still on an angelwing [4. Love] I see a slow, youngster by a busy street, With a begging bowl in his shaking to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices. do, but walk by. An man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's tears. When he finally comes his are cascading. I see a beaten dog in a pungent He tries to bite me. All pride has his wild eyes. I wish I my leg to spare. A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the She's loved him more. obese girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly her neck. Terribly sweeet deafens me. She's going to dinner That makes her even more I see a face on a brick wall. A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent kill. A city that flesh. 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering Man telling story It was you, the grass my bare feet The campfire the dead of night The heavenly black of sky sea It us Roaming the rainy roads, combing guilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery wonders every morn Bathing in no-one's seen before Shipwrecked some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf - finest robe Beyond all mortality we are, in the breath of nature In early air of dawn of life A sight to silence heavens I to travel where life travels, Following permanent lead Where the tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born I would pass no man, no stranger, tragedy or rapture I bathe in a world of sensation Love, and simplicity (While and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves the only moment used to experience true love love remains infintie, As I'll never the man my father is How can you "just yourself" When you don't know you are? Stop saying "I know you feel" How could know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all them already Dear child, stop go play every rule no fear in a dream "Is there a village this snowflake?" - a child asked the colour of our lullaby?" I've been so close to truth as then touched it's silver lining Death is the in any war Nothing in dying for your religion For your ideology, for faith For another yes Paper is without words Ink without a poem All the dead without stories love and disarming beauty Careless realism souls Ever the Lord smile? Allt he care for the made Beautiful a sad man? Why we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over ground I see all those empty cradles and If man will never I, too, wish be a decent manboy but all I am Is smoke and Still given everything, I be deserving there forever remains the change from G to E minor
