Nightwish - Over The Hill And Far Away (2001) by Nightwish (보컬) on maniadb.com

They came for him
one winter's night
Arrested he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
his pistol had been found

They marched him to
the station house
he waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
he knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
he heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
tomorrow's light would
mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away
for ten long years
he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
a prisoner's life
for him there'll be
He knew that it would cost him dear
but yet he dare not say
Just where he had been
that fateful night
a secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of
his best friend
he'd spent his final
night of freedom
Over the hills and far away
he swears he will return one day
Far from the
mountains and the seas
back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away

Each night within his prison cell
he looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day
he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away
she prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers
reach the seas
back in his arms again she'll be
Over the hills and far away
he swears he will return one day
Far from the
mountains and the seas
back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away
she prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers
reach the seas
back in his arms again she'll be

Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him
I knew them all
In the fields of dying oath:
I'd kill them all to save my own

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...

"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell.
My path made up by their torn bodies.
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust...
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"

They wait for me back home
They 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, Great White Hunter.
I'll march till the dawn brings me rest.
10th patriot at the gallow's pole!"

Cut me free

The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming
The nights had more hope
In their silence The wild was calling
Wishes were whispering
The time was there
But without a meaning

Away, away in time
Every dreamas a journey away
Away to a home away from care
Everywhereas just a journey away

The days departed
Gardens deserted
This frail world
My only rest ?

The wild calls no more
Wishes so hollow
The Barefoot Boy
Weeping in an empty night

Away...

Cherish the moment
Tower the skies
Donat let the dreamer
Fade to grey like grass

No falling for life
A gain for every loss
Time gathered me
But kept me flying

"For this gift of dream I must pay the price
With the loss of lifeas pleasures"

A nocturnal concerto
밤의 협주곡
Candlelight whispers me where to go
촛불이 내게 어디로 가는지를 귓속말해 주었죠
Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
나의 가이드인 별을 모으는 것에 대한 찬가
As I wander on this path of the night
내가 이 밤의 길 위를 헤맨 것과 같이.

Embroidery of the stars
별들의 자수
Undress my feelings for this earth
이 지구를 향한 내 감정들을 벗겨내고
Send me your salva to heal my scars
내 상처를 치료하기 위해 내게 당신의 구조를 보내고
And let this nakedness me my birth
그리고 이 무방비 상태의 나를 탄생시켜 주었죠
Macrocosm poured its powers on me
대우주는 그것의 힘을 나에게 부어주었죠
And the hopes of this world I now must leave
그리고 이 세계의 희망들인 나는 이제 떠나야만 하죠
The nightwish I sent you centuries ago
내가 몇 세기 전에 당신에게 보낸 소원의 밤
Has been heard by those Who dwelled in a woe
고뇌 속에서 살았던 저들이 불러왔던.


The distance of our bridal bed
우리 혼례의 침대까지의 거리
Await for me to be dead
내가 죽을 때까지 기다리는
Dust of the galaxies take my hand
우주의 먼지가 나의 손을 잡고
Lead me to my beloved's land
나를 가장 사랑했던 땅으로 이끌어요


Departed by the guillotine of death
죽음의 길로틴에서 죽었고
I received a letter from the depth
나는 심연에서 온 편지를 받았죠
The dream of my lover it carried inside
내가 사랑하는 이의 꿈이 그것을 내 마음속으로 가져왔어요


Caressed by the sharpest knife
가장 날카로운 칼을 껴안은
I asked you to be my wife
당신에게 나는 내 아내가 되어달라 했죠
Rays of the setting sun
지는 태양의 빛이
Were my tears wept upon promises undone
이루어지지 않은 약속 때문에 내 눈물은 흘렀죠


Come to me
내게 와요
Make me believe to you and your love again
내게 당신과 당신의 사랑을 다시 믿도록 해 봐요


Above the universe
우주 위에서
Beneath the Great Eye
위대한 눈 아래에서
I shall desire you forevermore
나는 당신을 영원히 바랄 겁니다...

For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion

Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind

Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don`t care
Orchid kids, blinded stare

Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed

"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"

"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"

"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"

"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"

"Run away with your impeccable kin!"

"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivors` guilt
In us forevermore

15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know?"

4 pink ones
9 blue ones
2 black ones

She Is My Sin
Take heed, dear heart
Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you
Dressed as one
A wolf will betray a lamb

Lead astray the gazers
The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower`s perfect

To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear

A sin for him
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin

I am the Fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative
As its discovery

To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear

A sin for him...

Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God I must confess...
...I do envy the sinners

Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter symbolic yet truthful
With a hungry choir of wolves
An agreement immemorial to be born

Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany wall the charming tunes
Of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
And the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from a cave begins

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

Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
Will make the angel melt in shame

I want to hunt with the tameless heart...

We're walking in the air
We're floating
in the moonlit sky
The people far below
are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly
so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rI'vers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below
believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming
in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping
low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster
from it's sleep

We're walking in the air
We're floating
in the midnight sky
And everyone
who sees us greets us as we fly
I'm holding very
holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly
so high above with you

Beauty and the Beast
Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my ugliness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a send of beauty left behind

Ah dear friend I remember the night
The moon and the dreams we shared
Your trembling paw in my hand
Dreaming of that northern land
Touching me with a kiss of a beast

I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls

As a world without a glance
Of the ocean's fair expanse
Such the world would be
If no love did flow in thee
But as my heart is occupied
Your love for me now has to die
Forgive me I need more than you can offer me

Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?

However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...

Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster

Elbereth
Lorien

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller`s mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny

Master!...

Silvara
Starbreeze

Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!

Master!...

Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...

Master!...

Elvenpath
(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)

Hearing music from the deepest forest
Songs as a seduction of sirens
The elf-folk is calling me

Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad
Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path

The way to the lands
Where as a hero I stand
The path where Beauty met the Beast
Elvenpath
It's the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
That makes my soul long for the past
Elvenpath

The moonwitch 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

At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves
The path goes forever on

The way to the lands...

As I return to my room
And as sleep takes me by my hand
Madrigals from the woods
Carry me to neverland
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight
In this spellbound night
The world's an elvish sight

Bald Mountain Night
Devilheart endures but light
A mad aerial dance
Chernabog`s succubi

Black Cauldron born
Gurgi`s heart forlorn
Pig-keeper or hero
On a quest of augury

Maleficent`s fury
The spindle so luring
Dragon fight, dying night
Dooming might

Apprentice of Yen Sid
Conducting the galaxy
Dreamer on mountaintop
Spellbound masquerade

The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old in me
The Phoenix of White Agony Creek
Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as old as time
A Dragonslayer, The Awakener

Wish upon a star...
