Slaying The Dreamer - Nightwish
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow, sorrow and greed You bathed feet 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 Witch of Night God it hurts, give a name to the pain Our primrose path to hell is growing weed 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! [x2] Wake up! Mow the weed! You'd be nothing without me! Take my life if you have heart, 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!
