Bye Bye Beautiful Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anette Olzon]
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red with their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
[Chorus: Marko Hietala]
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
Bye bye, beautiful
[Verse 2: Anette Olzon & Marko Hietala]
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind dead siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells
(I need to die to feel alive)
[Chorus: Marko Hietala]
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
Bye bye, beautiful
(Bye bye, beautiful
Bye bye, beautiful)
[Bridge: Marko Hietala]
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?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
How blind can you be, don't you see
That the gambler lost all he does not have?)
[Chorus: Marko Hietala]
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
Bye bye, beautiful
Bye bye, beautiful
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Cadence of Her Last Breath Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anette Olzon]
Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live
[Pre-Chorus: Anette Olzon]
Save one breath for me
[Chorus: Anette Olzon]
A loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
[Verse 2: Anette Olzon]
Why do I miss someone
I never met, with bated breath I lay
Seawinds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life
And all the poetry
In the world finally makes sense to me
[Pre-Chorus: Anette Olzon]
Save one death for me
[Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marko Hietala]
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)
[Bridge: Anette Olzon]
Put to rest all that's not life
Drink for beauty and fill my blank page
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus: Anette Olzon]
Sometimes a dream turns into a dream
[Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marko Hietala]
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)
Eva Lyrics
[Verse 1]
6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
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 children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
[Verse 2]
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, Eden beam
We kill with her own loving heart
[Chorus]
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
For the Heart I Once Had Lyrics
[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
For the child, for the light
For the heart I once had
I will believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be
[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars
Time will kill
[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
7 Days to the Wolves Lyrics
[Chorus]
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is my church of choice
Love's strength stranded in love's sacrifice
For the rest I have to say to you
I will dream like the God
And suffer like all the dead children
[Chorus]
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
7 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 travelled by
Leave the city of fools
Turn every poet loose
[Chorus]
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
Heroes, cowards, no more
Heroes, cowards, no more
Heroes, cowards, no more
