Amaranth (Album Version) Lyrics
Nightwish
Lyrics
Baptized with a perfect name,
The doubting one by heart.
Alone without himself.
War between him and the day,
Need someone to blame.
In the end, little he can do alone.
You believe but what you see,
You receive but what you give.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart: The tears of snow-white sorrow.
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth,
In a land of the daybreak.
Apart from the wandering pack,
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare.
You believe but what you see,
You receive but what you give.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart: The tears of snow-white sorrow.
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth,
In a land of the daybreak.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart: The tears of snow-white sorrow.
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth,
In a land of the daybreak.
Reaching, searching for something untouched.
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling.
Calling,
Calling.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart: The tears of snow-white sorrow.
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth,
In a land of the daybreak.
(Backvocals/Screaming)
Caress the one.
The Rain.
Day-Break!
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart: The tears of snow-white sorrow.
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth,
In a land of the daybreak.
