Live To Tell The Tale - Nightwish (夜愿)

Written by：Tuomas Holopainen

A single grain can tip the scale

Amidst the burden

The scale will prevail

Showing what's worth being here

Storyteller by a hearth of stone

A white little creature purring me

My childhood kingdom gone in time

The islands filling

My mind with blue

The one in special heavens court

All the joy unforgiven by this task

An errant soul homeless and foul

All gone but the will

To live to tell the

Tale

The days are filled with anxiety

Frustration one right note a day

Where to find a perfect tune

Just do the work and take a step back

All the joy unforgiven by this task

An errant soul homeless and foul

All gone but the will

To live to tell the

Tale

Dark chambers of my mind

Locked around the neck of my love

None of you understand

And it doesn't matter

To a broken marionette like me

An errant soul homeless and foul

An errant soul homeless and foul

All gone but the will

To live to tell the

To tell the tale
