Once
Album - 6 giugno 2004 - Debaser id 125513

Once I had a dream
And this is it

Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside

Once I knew all the tales
It's time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It's time to cut the rope
and fly

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

My flower, withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more

Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more
My name forever more

Denying the lying
A million children fighting
For lives in strife
For hope beyond the horizon

A dead world, a dark path
Not even crossroads to choose from
All the bloodred carpets before me
Behold this fair creation of God

My only wish: to leave behind
All the days of the Earth
This everyday hell of my kingdom come

The first rock thrown again
Welcome to hell little saint
Mother Gaia in slaughter
Welcome to paradise soldier

My first cry neverending
All life is to fear for life
You fool, you wanderer
You challenged the gods and lost

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
This world ain't ready for the Ark
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
Mankind works in mysterious ways

Welcome down to my Planet Hell

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
This world ain't ready for the Ark
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope, in love
Mankind works in mysterious ways

Mitakuye oyasin lel ohinni e yelo

Soon I will be here no more
You'll hear my tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears

White man came
Saw the blessed land
We cared, you took
You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have been since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land

[Singing in Lakotan]

Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace and war and death

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have been since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have been since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land

A lady with a violin
Playing to the seals
Hearken to the sound
Of calling

[Refrain 1]
Who tied my hands to the wheel
The zodiac turns over me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate revealed
I hear but how will I see?

[Refrain 2]
I tied myself to the wheel
The winds talk to my sails
Not me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate revealed
I hear but how will I see?

Godlove and rest my soul
With this sundown neverending
The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail
I am the decadence of your world
I am an eider covered in oil
Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore

Tell me why
No heart to cry
Hang me high

The music is dead, the amen is said
The kiss of faith is what I beg
A loving heart 'n soul for sale

Tell me why
No heart to cry
Hang me high

Leave me be
And cease to tell me how to feel
To grieve, to shield myself from evil
Leave me be
OD of lies is killing me
Romanticide
Till love do me part

See me ruined by my own creations

Leave me be
And cease to tell me how to feel
To grieve, to shield myself from evil
Leave me be
Od of lies is killing me
Romanticide
Till love do me part


Dead Boy's alive but without sense
I need a near-death experience
Heart once bold
Now turned to stone
Perfection my messenger from hell

Wine turns to water
Campfires freeze, loveletters burn
Romance is lost
Lord, let me be wrong in this pain

Temporary pain, eternal shame
To take part in this devil's chess game
Spit on me, let go, get rid of me
And try to survive your stupidity

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

[' '=choir:]

'My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever'

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

'My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever'

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n' loss


Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop int the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast


Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

[( )=Tarja Turunen:]

'My fall will be for you (My....)
My love will be in you (fall...)
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever (will be...)

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you (for you...)
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever

(My....)
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you (fall...)
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever (will be...)

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you (for...)
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever (you.)

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever'

... [Repeat to fade]

Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain
En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut

Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan

Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee

Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan

Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee

Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois

Enchantress came to me and said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hunmed this song to the white, through the shroud of snow
I saw paradise, peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul, rest for this night
Love is here, right here right under my wings

I dream of wolves, with them I run
For me she lengthened the night, I am home, I am in peace
Crestfallen soul, rest for this night
Love is here, right here under my wings

Crestfallen soul, rest for this night
Love is here, right here under my wings

Crestfallen soul, rest for this night
Love is here, right here under my wings
