《Song Of Myself》歌词

[00:00:00] Song Of Myself - Nightwish

[00:00:01] Composed by：Tuomas Holopainen

[00:00:45] The nightingale is still locked in the cage

[00:00:50] The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs

[00:00:56] An old oak sheltering me from the blue

[00:01:01] Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves

[00:01:06] A catnap in the ghost town of my heart

[00:01:12] She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts

[00:01:18] Of mermaids of Whitman's and the Ride

[00:01:23] Raving harlequins gigantic toys

[00:01:29] A song of me a song in need

[00:01:32] Of a courageous symphony

[00:01:35] A verse of me a verse in need

[00:01:38] Of a pure heart singing me to peace

[00:01:41] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:01:44] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:01:51] All that great heart lying still

[00:01:55] In silent suffering

[00:01:58] Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end

[00:02:03] What is left for encore

[00:02:04] Is the same old Dead Boy's song

[00:02:08] Sang in silence

[00:02:09] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:02:12] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:02:26] A midnight flight into Covington Woods

[00:02:32] A princess and a panther by my side

[00:02:38] These are Territories I live for

[00:02:43] I'd still give my everything to love you more

[00:02:49] A song of me a song in need

[00:02:51] Of a courageous symphony

[00:02:55] A verse on me a verse in need

[00:02:58] Of a pure heart singing me to peace

[00:03:01] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:03:04] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:03:10] Now all that great heart lying still

[00:03:15] In silent suffering

[00:03:18] Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end

[00:03:22] What is left for encore

[00:03:24] Is the same old Dead Boy's song

[00:03:28] Sang in silence

[00:03:29] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:03:32] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:04:03] A silent symphony

[00:04:16] A hollow opus #1 2 3

[00:04:29] Sometimes the sky is piano black

[00:04:42] Piano black over cleansing waters

[00:04:53] Resting pipes verse of bore

[00:05:06] Rusting keys without a door

[00:05:19] Sometimes the within is piano black

[00:05:31] Piano black over cleansing waters

[00:06:11] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:06:17] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:06:24] All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

[00:06:30] All that great heart lying still on an angelwing

[00:07:07] I see a slow simple youngster by a busy street

[00:07:11] With a begging bowl in his shaking hand

[00:07:14] Trying to smile but hurting infinitely nobody notices

[00:07:21] I do but walk by

[00:07:26] An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic

[00:07:31] It's half-light and he's in tears

[00:07:34] When he finally comes his eyes are cascading

[00:07:39] I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley

[00:07:43] He tries to bite me

[00:07:45] All pride has left his wild drooling eyes

[00:07:48] I wish I had my leg to spare

[00:07:54] A mother visits her son smiles to him through the bars

[00:07:58] She's never loved him more

[00:08:02] An obese girl enters an elevator with me

[00:08:05] All dressed up fancy a green butterfly on her neck

[00:08:10] Terribly sweet perfume deafens me

[00:08:14] She's going to dinner alone

[00:08:17] That makes her even more beautiful

[00:08:21] I see a model's face on a brick wall

[00:08:24] A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill

[00:08:31] A city that worships flesh

[00:08:47] The first thing I ever heard was a wandering man telling his story

[00:08:52] It was you the grass under my bare feet

[00:08:57] The campfire in the dead of the night

[00:09:00] The heavenly black of sky and sea

[00:09:05] It was us

[00:09:07] Roaming the rainy roads combing the gilded beaches

[00:09:14] Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn

[00:09:18] Bathing in places no one's seen before

[00:09:24] Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island

[00:09:28] Clad in nothing but the surf beauty's finest robe

[00:09:37] Beyond all mortality we are swinging in the breath of nature

[00:09:43] In early air of the dawn of life

[00:09:47] A sight to silence the heavens

[00:09:54] I want to travel where life travels

[00:09:56] Following its permanent lead

[00:09:58] Where the air tastes like snow music

[00:10:02] Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden

[00:10:05] I would pass no man no stranger no tragedy or rapture

[00:10:10] I would bathe in a world of sensation

[00:10:14] Love goodness and simplicity

[00:10:19] While violated and imprisoned by technology

[00:10:27] The thought of my family's graves was the only moment

[00:10:30] I used to experience true love

[00:10:33] That love remains infinite

[00:10:35] As I'll never be the man my father is

[00:10:40] How can you just be yourself

[00:10:42] When you don't know who you are

[00:10:45] Stop saying I know how you feel

[00:10:47] How could anyone know how another feels

[00:10:52] Who am I to judge a priest beggar w***e politician wrongdoer

[00:11:00] I am you are all of them already

[00:11:16] Dear child stop working go play

[00:11:20] Forget every rule

[00:11:23] There's no fear in a dream

[00:11:28] Is there a village inside this snowflake

[00:11:32] A child asked me

[00:11:36] What's the color of our lullaby

[00:11:41] I've never been so close to truth as then

[00:11:46] I touched its silver lining

[00:11:54] Death is the winner in any war

[00:11:58] Nothing noble in dying for your religion

[00:12:00] For your country

[00:12:02] For ideology for faith

[00:12:06] For another man yes

[00:12:17] Paper is dead without words

[00:12:19] Ink idle without a poem

[00:12:22] All the world dead without stories

[00:12:25] Without love and disarming beauty

[00:12:32] Careless realism costs souls

[00:12:37] Ever seen the Lord smile

[00:12:40] All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man

[00:12:45] Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks

[00:12:49] Oh how rotten your pre-apocalypse is

[00:12:53] All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground

[00:13:01] I see all those empty cradles and wonder

[00:13:05] If man will ever change

[00:13:08] I too wish to be a decent man-boy

[00:13:12] But all I am is smoke and mirrors

[00:13:17] Still given everything may I be deserving

[00:13:22] And there forever remains that change from G to Em
