Wishmaster

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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 [Laughing]"

Father help me

Save me a place by your side

"There is no God

Our creed is but for ourselves, hehe

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!"

[Interlude]

Good wombs hath borne bad sons

[Verse 4]

Cursing, God, why?

Falling for every lie

Survivors' guilt

In us forevermore

Fifteen candles

Redeemers of this world

Dwell in hypocrisy

How were we supposed to know?

[Verse 1]

Come wet a widow's eye

Cover the night with your love

Dry the rain from my beaten face

Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine

[Chorus]

Come cover me with you

For the thrill 'til you will take me in

Come comfort me in you

Young love must live twice only for us

[Bridge]

For me, for you

Time devours passion's beauty

With me, with you

In war for the love of you

For me, for you

Time devours passion's beauty

With me, with you

Tonight any dream will do

[Verse 2]

Not a world but your fine grace

Seduction in sleepwalker's land

November dressed in May on your face

Holding us now the lovecropper's hand

[Pre-Chorus]

Come cover me with you

Come cover, come cover me now

[Chorus]

Come cover me with you

For the thrill 'til you will take me in

Come comfort me in you

Young love must live twice only for us

[Outro]

Come cover me with you

Come cover, come cover me now

[Verse 1]

Crownless again shall be the queen

Trophy on her grave still remains unseen

A boat on the river confessing the sins

The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things

[Verse 2]

Crownless again shall be the king

A gull covered in oil with a broken wing

A hitcher on a road alone and lost

Iron sharpens iron, a truth that once was

[Chorus]

Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone

Mine is the throne for the idol

One fleeting moment and it is all gone

Crownless again, will I fall?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Roaming on razor-sharp castles

Ruling all but myself, now my night is laid to sleep

[Verse 3]

One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am

A crippled begging a coin braver than I ever was

Reflection from me, devil dressed in white

Chasten the being become what I once was

[Chorus]

Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone

Mine is the throne for the idol

One fleeting moment and it is all gone

Crownless again, will I fall?

Mine is the Earth and the sword in the stone

Mine is the throne for the idol

One fleeting moment and it is all gone

Crownless again, will I fall?

[Intro]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

[Verse 1]

In your creation heaven did decree

That in your arms sweet death should dwell

Deep silent complete, black velvet sea

The sirens are calling for me

[Chorus]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

[Verse 2]

Saved my soul thinking "this song's a lie"

Sand on the shore is so dry

Deep silent complete, black velvet sea

Brave day sinking in endless night

[Verse 3]

The age will say "This poet lies"

Heaven never touched earthly face

The age will say "This night was ours"

Blessed with the deep, the silent, the complete

[Chorus]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

According to Tuomas, the song is… Read More Born from silence, silence full of it

A perfect concert my best friend

So much to live for, so much to die for

If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can`t say

Forget what you can`t play

Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes

Walk within my poetry, this dying music

- My loveletter to nobody

Never sigh for better world

It`s already composed, played and told

Every thought the music I write

Everything a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin

Died for the beauty the one in the garden

Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom

Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh for better world

It`s already composed, played and told

Every thought the music I write

Everything a wish for the night

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it

Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears

For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength

Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality

Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew

The sweet piano writing down my life"

"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone

Show me love, hold the lorn

So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me

I`m sorry

Time will tell (this bitter farewell)

I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...
