Nightwish | "Demo" (1996)

1. "The Forever Moments" 05:41

The ticktock of time
allows me to see
an howl turn to an echo.

New butterfly to a cocoon,
the swan to ugly duckling,
the lake to an ocean.

The deep times awake
as I can calm myself to yesterday.
The flower has fallen its petals,
out of the petals a cradle I build...

My cradle rocks with the waves of time,
the time of beauty will never be the same.
Falling again has no man's knowing,
please take me, take me with thee.

Now I hear my mother from the deep,
sing me a lullaby of eternal sleep.
With thou replant the plaster call,
this and silence we seek to reborn.

2. "Nightwish" 05:54

Oh, setting sun,
thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
whose love awaits me in the sky.

A bridal bed awaits us both,
after the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
a nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

The voice of nightly winds
has awakened me,
amidst all the grief
they embrace me with relief.

Beneath my dreams and wishes
I long for thy caresses.

A bridal bed awaits us both,
after the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
a nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

"Passed away in silence,
the flute from the realm unseen
empties its heart.

Making love to me
with its enchanting melody.
Light of Orion,
shadow of Andromeda,
call of the dancing Universe.

Their love I must enter
before thou can blame my soul
that is peace..."

3. "Etiäinen" 03:00

Pakkasyössä tunturten
tanssii tulet leiskuen.
Elo ammoin mennyt on
tunnen sen...
Kutsun pohjanneitojen
yllä Lapin.
