Nightwish - Slaying The Dreamer
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice.
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed.
You bathed in my wine.
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme.
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds.
Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight.
So awake for your greed.
As you're slaying the dreamer.
Swansong for the Wish of Night.
God it hurts, give a name to the pain.
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed.
Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too
I truly hate you all!
