Nightwish Sleeping Sun ( Four Ballads of the Eclipse) (1999)
text+music: Tuomas Holopainen album: Nightwish 19972001 (disc 2: Oceanborn) The sun is sleeping quietly Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime refrain: I wish for this nighttime To last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping, weeping with you Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I d sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go Two hundred twentytwo days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet s play Until there s nothing left to say refrain (2x)
