Dead To The World

Nightwish · Lokikirja [2010]

All the same take me away

We're dead to the world



The child gave thought to the poet's words, gave comfort to the fallen

(Heartfelt, lovelorn)

Remaining, yet still uninvited

Those words scented my soul

(Lonely soul, Ocean soul)



It's not the monsters under your bed, it is the Man next door

That makes you fear, makes you cry, makes you cry for the child

All the wars are fought among those lonely men

Unarmed, unscarred



I don't want to die a scarless man

A lonely soul (tell me now what to do)

I studied silence to learn the music

I joined the sinful to regain innocence



Heaven queen, cover me in all that blue

Little boy such precious joy is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me away from all pain

All the same take me away, we're dead to the world



Deep, silent and constant, yet always changing

-my favourite view of this world

As he died, he will return to die in me again

Weaving the cloth, giving birth to Century child

Who gave his life not for the world but for me

Innocence reborn once more



Heaven queen, carry me away from all pain

All the same take me away, we're dead to the world



Heaven queen, cover me in all that blue

Little boy such precious joy is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me away from all pain

All the same take me away, we're dead to the world
