Nightwish - Nightquest lyrics

rate me

Born to the false world the wanderer

Storyteller the pied piper ...

On a quest for immortality

Gathering a troop to find the fantasy

Lead by a maid queen of the night

Voice of angel such a divine sight

An amazon to fight and cure

This reality with her feline lure

Patriotic to the promised land

Of never-waking dream

Nightquest a quest not for the past

But for tomorrow to make it last

Simply the best way to walk this life

Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind

Enter the realm don't stay awake

The dreams remain they only break

Forget the task enjoy the ride

And follow us into the night

A merry minstrel with his fingers fast

Playing his lute charming every lass

Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye

"Shall I find fame - or shall I die?"

Warrior with power along the path

A hammerheart his gallantry to last

Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed

For in this war laws are in silent sleep

Patriotic to the promised land

Of never-waking dream

Nightquest a quest not for the past...

Come to the Elfland the eldest said

In my guidance you shall not be afraid

I am the mastermind the wizard to show the way...

Nightquest a quest not for the past...

First ones to walk this path of night

Lady in black lady in white

Followed by legions of night-time wanderers

Guardians of the halls of heart

When we from my homeland depart

To challenge the gods of emptiness

May the quest begin!
