Lyrics:
There was a child climbing a hill on a winter's night
Face up to space above and taken by the sight
Time slowed down under the blessing of the skies
Of dying stars and their billion years of light

I flew across the void of space in a waking dream
Astride a fusion flame I'm finally redeemed
To find the wonders that transcend the bounds of time
To hear the heavens sing and reach the other side

Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I’ve turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I'm just looking for a home
I know I’m better left on Mars

I see the star that gave us life in the rusted sky
The hills turn crimson as I take your hand in mine
I always thought this place was safe and I was wrong
You chose to cross the void for me
I was made strong

Do you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
And I’ve turned page after page
I never chose to be an alien, no
I’m just looking for a home

I think you know that my heart still holds the rage, no
But you still believe in me
And I choose the mercy of your heart
I'm just looking for a home
There together we'll find home

Alone together left on Mars

Welcome back Tarja and Marko!!! I'm so happy to see you both together again!!!

[BlackItachi]

Marko and Tarja in 2024??
Sign me up!! Missed you both ❤🖤

[MollyPocket]

It feels like my parents are back together again ❤ love you two so much!

[pedromarroquin]

Marko and Tarja are undoubtedly two great legends of music, so much so that they obtained the ability to breathe on Mars.

[grgn]

No words could explain what this collaboration means to old Nightwish fans like myself. I thought that any sort of unification was not possible. Emotions were so strong back then. But here we are. I am so happy for Tarja and Marko finding a common ground.

[bishopsteiner]

the world has missed these two voices together for far too long. Love Nightwish, but Marko and Tarja just go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

[SRFTW]

Some things never change, like being the best duo ever haha

[javieratance]

It is a dream come true to see Marko and Tarja together again. Hopefully this is the beginning of a great musical duo and not a simple collaboration.

[migrimtan]

Even after all of these years, their voices compliment each other perfectly. What a treat.

[angelixx]

Marko and Tarja welcome back!! The best!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[tidus]

I grew up listening to nightwish and still do to this day, Nemo, I wish i had an angel, Phantom of the opera and all the perfect songs they did with Tarja and Marco, now watching them singing together again in 2024 is something magical I don't know how to explain and I know many of the old people here feel the same. It's like the scene in the movie ratatouille when the chef tastes the food and it brings him back to his childhood, I felt the same way listening to this, thank you Tarja and Marco for letting us listen to you once again.

[robharrison]

Fell in love with Nightwish upon first hearing them in '98. I've accepted them in each new incarnation with new vocalists. I LOVE Floor Jansen. But THIS??... this was something I didn't even realize how much I missed... how much I NEEDED to hear again... Marko and Tarja together again. Thank you to both of them for letting this happen. I actually sat here and cried upon hearing this. Amazing!!!

[edulsferreira]

Happy to see Marko and Tarja playing together again, hopefully other new songs can be composed.

[ThaoLe-whch]

i love both, so happy to see Tarja and Marko combine

[Julieseven]

I don’t care why this happened, I'm just hapoy to hear these two powerhouse voices reunited ❤ Kiitoksia Tarja ja Marco❤

[ProxxRoxx]

I instantly felt 20 Years younger. Thank you 🤘

[hadessama]

I have waited 19 years for this and every second was worth it 🥹

[damianboy]

So nice to see both legends on a song and in a video back together! They fit perfectly together! They should make a colaborative album or even form a new band together! I know I would DEFIANTLY be a fan from day one!

[terryjstroud]

I love that I can see the age in them. Time has passed and in a weird way, it reminds me how we've grown up together. To see the two of them singing together takes me all the way back to Nightwish's Century Child album. This song is so freaking comforting for me.

[melicriszoe]

this is incredible! As a fan of the old Nightwish I was never able to see them because I was very young and I thought it would never happen again but I was lucky enough to see them live and it was simply magical!!! that show was a dream come true. This song is beautiful. It is a song that Marko wrote and he invited Tarja to sing and she accepted. This song live has a lot of power!!
