Slaying the Dreamer - Nightwish (夜愿)

Lyrics by：Tuomas Holopainen

Composed by：Tuomas Holopainen/Erno Vuorinen

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 w**d

Put a stake through my heart

And drag me into sunlight

So awake for your greed

As you're slaying the dreamer

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

Tell me why you took all that was mine

Stay as you lay don't lead me astray

Wake up mow the w**d

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
