- The Pharaoh Sails To Orion
Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!
- Exodus 10:28
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour - Orion
- 02 Storytime
It was the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams, then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man heart
A painter on the shore
Imagine all the world
- 09. For The Heart I Once Had
Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love goes cold
Once my heart beat to
The rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below, the river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow
- 10 - Once Upon a Troubadour
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
- 10-th Man Down
Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields a dying oath...
I'd kill them all to save my own
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
- 10th Man Down
I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields a dying oath:
Id kill them all to save my own
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
- 14 - A Return To The Sea
A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds born and die
Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow
What it means is soon to be known
Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers build their nest in peace
On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu
To honor this moment even the heavens cease
- 2015 - Endless Forms Most Beautiful
Новый альбом. Новый Голос. Новая Эра. Но таким ли новым вышло начало? Без сомнения, творение маэстро Туомаса номер восемь ждали многие. Предвкушали. Интересовались. Опасались (не без основания, всё-таки лид-сингл подготовил почву для размышлений). Даже надеялись (в связи с умениями госпожи Янсен). Что же мы получаем в итоге? Если вдруг когда-либо, смеха ради, подсознательно соединяли куски из разных песен Nightwish, то "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" вполне можно обозвать плодом вашей фантазии.
Этот лонгплей вполне можно сравнить с тем, что вы заблудились в лесу - то и дело натыкаетесь на знакомые места, лишь изредка встречая действительно новый пейзаж. Примерно те же ощущения испытываешь при прослушивании "Endless Forms Most Beautiful": бросает из года в год, освежая в памяти моменты, которые встречались и в относительно далёком и образцовом "Oceanborn", и в переходном "Once", и ещё молодому, чтобы быть старым "Imaginaerum". И только в меньшей части композиций слышно действительно что-то новое, только вот все они - при всей хорошей музыкальной составляющей - выглядят довольно странно, отчасти ассоциируясь вообще с другими группами, которых обычно самих сравнивают с этим симфо-металическим мастодонтом, и даже серо, как и обложка альбома. В связи с этим напрашивается невесёлый вывод, что маэстро Холопайнен исписался, выглядя бледной тенью себя прежнего.
Чувства получились довольно смешанными и противоречивыми, но нельзя не признать, что весь финский пирог далеко не пресный. Гармония между оркестром с хором и участниками группы достигла небывалых высот, показывая, что Nightwish в данном компоненте всё ещё является ориентиром для родственников по направлению. Единство участников в игре поражает, но и каждому из них дали выделиться - творить красоту тем инструментом, которым владеет, что делает конкретные куски песен поистине захватывающими.
Можно считать, что это некого рода ретроспектива всей жизни группы, но отнюдь не шаг назад. Ностальгия по тем мотивам, которые, казалось, хотели забыть - да, их меньше, чем хотелось бы, но они есть. Наполнено своей атмосферой - той знакомой, словно в фентези-фильме, что не возникает сомнений, кого именно ты слушаешь и слышишь. Каждый музыкант ставит перед собой цель, чтобы его творчество вызвало определённые эмоции, в этом смысле Nightwish сделали всё на отлично.
- 7 Days To The Wolves
The wolves, my love, will come
Taking us home where dust once was a man
Is there Life before a Death?
Do we long too much *whispered* and never let in?
Howl
7 days to the wolves
- amaranth piano version
Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
With someone to blame
In the end little he can do alone
You believe at what you see
- Angel Fall First
Ангелы падают первыми
Улыбается ангел мне
Под покровом ночи при луне
Улыбка согрела меня
Прощай — больше нет слов
Рядом с могилой у крестов
- Angels Fall First
An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere

An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere
- Astral Romance
A nocturnal concerto
Candlelight whispers me where to go
Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
As I wander on this path of the night
Embroidery of the stars
Undress my feelings for this earth
Send me your salva to heal my scars
- Away
The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming
The nights had more hope
In their silence The wild was calling
Wishes were whispering
The time was there
But without a meaning
- Beautiful
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting
A dead man's face
Red with their own blood.
- Beauty And The Beast
Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my ugliness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a send of beauty left behind
Ah dear friend I remember the night
The moon and the dreams we shared
Your trembling paw in my hand
- Beauty Of The Beast
1. Long Lost Love
Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
- Bless The Child
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
And witnessed the beauty of the beast"
- Bye Bye Beautiful
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you?
- Come
Вдовьи глаза увлажнились внезапно;
Укрой своей любовью ночь,
Высуши слезы на лике разбитом
И выпей вино со вкусом моим
Приди укрыть меня собой,
Заставь трепетать,
Пока не сольюсь я с тобой.
- Come Cover Me
Come wet a widow's eye
Cover the night with your love
Dry the rain from my beaten face
Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine
Come cover me with you
For the thrill
Till you will take me in
- Creek Mary's Blood
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
- Crownless
Crownless again shall be the queen
Trophy on her grave still remains unseen
A boat on the river confessing the sins
The Riddler revealing the deep hidden things
Crownless again shall be the king
A gull covered in oil with a broken wing
A hitcher on a road alone and lost
- Dark Chest of Wonders
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
- Dead To The World
Dead To The World
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world
The child gave thought to the poet's world
Gave comfort to the Fallen
(Heartfelt, lovelorn)
- Deep Silent Complete
In your creation heaven did decree
That in your arms sweet death should dwell
Deep Silent Complete
Black velvet sea
The sirens are calling for me
Saved my soul thinking "This song`s a lie"
- Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean
A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
Prophecy of becoming floods
An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
- Die Alive
Open up the night.
Led by just a feeling.
All around is light.
Everything is healing.
No more fate
and no more mystery.
Even as time falls away
- Edema Ruh
One by one we light the candles of the show
One by one entered a theater of the primal birth
Silently watch the planetary curtain go down
Laugh and drink joys as the powerful play greets you tonight
We are the Edema Ruh, we know the songs the sirens sang
Sea of stream, every tale true
Soon as we leave with you, we'll take you home
- Elan
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
In tongues from the time before man
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
The meadows of heaven await harvest
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
- Elven path
In the sheltering shade of the forest
Calling calming silence
Accompanied only by the full moon
The howling of a night wolf
And the path under my bare feet
The Elvenpath ...
Hearing music from the deepest forest
- End Of All Hope
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth
- End Of All Hope - текст

- Endless Forms Most Beautiful
Come on, hop on, let's take a ride
Come and meet the travelers who came to town
They have a tale from the past to tell
From the great dark between the stars
We are a special speck of dust
A fleeting moment on an ark
A celebration, a resthaven
- Eramaan Viiemeinen
Пустыня спит и я блуждаю в своих мыслях,
По лесам и спящим океанам,
Селена освещает небо,
Окрашивая мир в прохладу Севера...
Сон ли это?
Или смерть, в которой я хочу вернуться туда, где
под снегом угасают угольки надежды,
- Escapist
Who's there knocking at my window?
The Owl and the Dead Boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying children
Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way and lose myself into a tale
- Eva
6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name

Chorus:
Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...
- Ghost Love Score
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
- I Walk Alone
Put all your angels on the edge
Keep all the roses, I'm not dead
I left a thorn under your bed
I'm never gone
Go tell the world I'm still around
I didn't fly, I'm coming down
- I Want My Tears Back
I want my tears back
The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat
A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings
- I Wish Had An Angel
I wish i had an angel for one moment of love
I wish i had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when i may
This night will hurt you like never before
- I Wish I had An Angel
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before

Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
- Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red
Сладкие нежные слова для молчанья,
Не для разговоров.
Юное сердце – для любви,
Не для разочарования.
Темные волосы – для игр с ветром,
Не для укрытия от чудес холодного мира.
Целуй – пока твои губы еще алые,

We live in every moment but this one
Мы живём каждым мгновением, но это – особенное.
Why don't we recognise the faces loving us so
Почему мы не хотим признавать тех, кто столь сильно любит нас?
What's God if not the spark that started life
Что же есть Бог, если не та искра, что даёт начало новой жизни?
Smile of a stranger
- Leaving you for me
I'm sitting here alone
What else could I have done?
I can't regret 'cause
I don't even know what I did wrong
Freedom died with you
I'm searching for myself
Will I feel alive?

Любовь
Я вижу медленно бредущего простого паренька на оживлённой улице,
С протянутой дрожащей рукой он просит милостыню.
Пытается улыбнуться, но это причиняет ему непрерывную боль. Никто не замечает.
Я замечаю, но прохожу мимо.
Обнажённый старик целует куклу на чердаке.

Ты был моей первой любовью
Земля уходила у меня из-под ног

Замерзающий вкус, чистый глоток...
Я - вздох на твоих волосах,

Найти потерянные линии жизни.

They came for him one winter's night.

his pistol had been found.
They marched to the station house,

And as they led him to the dock,

Ask me whither goes the wind
Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins
Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round
Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound
If tales aren't just for children to see
That it's peace if sleep walks with me
- The Siren
"Леди с виолончелем играет кораблям...
Слушай звуки зова..."
Кто привязал мои руки к штурвалу?
Зодиак крутится в небе вокруг меня
"Иди ко мне..."
Где-то там моя судьба предрешена
Я слышу, но как мне увидеть?
- The Understanding
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
- The Wayfarer
I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt
I discovered the wild
Learning to suck all the experience
Seeing the world through cradle's bars
The wild blessed me with an errant mind
Showing the way for the ultimate lore
I went around the world, beyond the wild
- Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed
Breasts which never nursed
- Turn Loose the Mermaids
Грация русалок, вечный зов.
Красота в подзорной трубе старика, стоящего у крыльца.
Русалки, которых ты отпустил на волю, возвращают тебе твои слёзы...
В конце реки лучи от заходящего солнца,
Озаряют реликвии долгих лет жизни.
Здесь, усталый путник, оставь свою трость,
И сон будет путешествием, для ваших глаз.
- Turn Loose the Mermaids and Sundown Mix
A kite above a graveyard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe
Oh, how beautiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering still
- Tutankhamen
As the sun sets beyond the pyramid
To greet me with its rays
I place my hand on my forehead
To see your chariots' flames
Watch me kneel before you
Hear the cats meowing in the temple
They yearn for the milk you cascaded
- Two for tragedy
Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son
Slumber in peace
Cease the pain
Life`s just in vain
For us to gain
Nothing but all the same
- Walking In The Air
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
- Wanderlust
I want to see where the sirens sing
Hear how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific
Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle
- Weak Fantasy
Weak Fantasy
These stories given to us all
Are filled with sacrifice and robes of lust
Dissonant choirs and downcast eyes
Selfhood of a condescending ape
Behold the crown of a heavenly spy
Forged in blood of those who defy
- Where Were You Last Night
Still
Spinning round in my head
How I regret everything that I said
Why did I tell you to go
Saving my pride but losing my soul
I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
- While You Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
- While Your Lips Are Stil Red...
Sweet little words made for silence
Not so young, heartfelt love not heartache
Dark hair fall, catch in the wind
Not the will, the sight of a cold world
- While Your Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
- While Your Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
- White Night Fantasy
Enchantress came to me
And said, meet me at the lake tonight
I hummed this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies
Crestfallen soul
- Wish I Had An Angel
Я бы хотел овладеть ангелом (перевод )
Я бы хотел овладеть ангелом хотя бы на одну ночь.
Я бы хотел овладеть твоим ангелом.
В сгустившихся сумерках
Я разбил невинное сердце.
Можешь меня ненавидеть, а я пошёл.
- Wish I Had An Angel - Хочу поиметь ангела
I wish I had an angel for one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
- Yours Is An Empty Hope
Tear me to bits enjoy the scene
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words imbued in filth
Your tongue oily water under my bridge
You have the world, it’s all for you
I wish you’d find the lost in you
Grateful for the pain, it proves we’re alive
- Список вопросов к Чаплину
Свихнувшийся на ребусах
Умник, спроси меня почему
Птицы летят в облачном небе
Спроси меня, куда дует ветер,
Где начало бесконечного течения времени.
Подскажи, если Земля плоская или круглая.
Озадачь, если фантазии безграничны.
