Nightwish - The Carpenter

Who are you?
Man condemned to shine a salvation
throughout the centuries.
Why ?
Was the wine of the grail
too sour for man to drink.

The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind.
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us had died.
Tools of the carpenter.

The one they like.
The same old sick
dream of their precious saviour.

Kiss them deep and make them weep
over promises of eternal peace.

The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind.
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us has died.
Tools of the carpenter.

I hear you
through the symphonic voices of nature
- the purity I could never doubt.
They tell me to lie on the grass
and observe my saviour.
The one crucified to the chirping of birds.

The carpenter
carved his anchor
on the dying souls of mankind.
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
lay the tools of the one
who for us has died.
Tools of the carpenter.
