The Escapist
Nightwish · The Sound of Nightwish Reborn [2008]
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
And lose myself into a tale
Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn voyage without an end
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, now time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies
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
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
And lose myself into a tale
Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn voyage without an end
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, now time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies
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
