Higher Than Hope

Nightwish · Once [2004]

Time it took the most of me

And left me with no key

To unlock the chest of remedy

Mother, the pain ain't hurting me

But the love that I feel

When you hold me near



The hopes were high

The choirs were vast

Now my dreams are left to live through you



Red Sun rising

Drown without inhaling

Within, the dark holds hard



Passiontide

An angel by my side

But no Christ to end this war

To deliver my soul from the sword

Hope has shown me a scenery

Paradise poetry

With first snow I'll be gone



The hopes were high

The choirs were vast

Now my dreams are left to live through you



Red sun rising

Drown without inhaling

Within, the dark holds hard

Red sun rising

Curtain falling

Higher than hope my cure lies



I just would like to think that, not why it happened to me

But why was I saved?

What else could I do now?



Your death saved me



Being in the dark about something, I can't even tell you how scary it is

You don't know what's inside, you don't know what's gonna happen to you

And the best way to put somebody at ease is to inform him

Even if it's the grim truth



Red sun rising

Drown without inhaling

Within, the dark holds hard

Red sun rising

Curtain falling

Higher than hope my cure lies



Repeat
