Slaying the Dreamer - Nightwish (夜愿)
Lyrics by:Tuomas Holopainen
Composed by:Tuomas Holopainen/Erno Vuorinen
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
Put a stake through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
Swansong for the wish of night
God it hurts give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing w**d
Put a stake through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
Blame me it's me
Coward a good for nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid living a dream
Romantic only on paper
Tell me why you took all that was mine
Stay as you lay don't lead me astray
Tell me why you took all that was mine
Stay as you lay don't lead me astray
Wake up mow the w**d
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The great ones are all dead
And I'm tired too
I truly hate you all
