Last Ride Of The Day

Nightwish · Imaginaerum [2011]

We live in every moment but this one

Why don't we recognize the faces loving us so

What's God if not the spark that started life

Smile of a stranger

Sweet music, starry skies

Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes

Early wake-ups in a moving home

Scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun

Open theme park gates waiting for



Riding the day, every day into sunset

Finding the way back home



Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life

The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead

This moment the dawn of humanity

The last ride of the day



Wake up, dead boy

Enter adventure land

Tricksters, magicians will show you all that's real

Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail

Magic of a moment, abracadabra



Riding the day, every day into sunset

Finding the way back home



Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life

The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead

This moment the dawn of humanity

The last ride of the day
