Escapist - Nightwish

Lyrics by：Tuomas Holopainen

Composed by：Tuomas Holopainen

Who's there knocking at my window

The owl and the dead boy

This night whispers my name

All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet

Painting the world in white

I tread the way

To lose myself into a tale

Come hell or high water

My search will go on

Clayborn Voyage without an end

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

Come undone

Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

It all starts with a lullaby

Journey homeward bound

The sound of a dolphin calling

Tearing off the mask of man

The Tower my sole guide

This is who I am

Escapist

Paradise seeker

Farewell time to fly

Out of sight

Out of time

Away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

Come undone

Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

It all starts with a lullaby

A nightingale in a golden cage

That's me locked inside reality's maze

Come someone make my heavy heart light

Come undone

Bring me back to life

A nightingale

In a golden cage
