SACRAMENT OF WILDERNESS LYRICS:
Naked in midwinter magic
Lies an angel in the snow
The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves
An encounter, symbolic, yet truthful
With a hungry choir of wolfs
An agreement immemorial to be born

Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest
Accompany all charming tunes
Of a sacrament by a campfire
A promise between the tameless
And the one with a tool
Tonight the journey from the cave begins

I want to hunt with the tameless world
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar

We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for all the children flow

Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights
From my cave I watch the land untamed
And wonder if some becoming season
Will make the angel melt in shame

I want to hunt with the tameless world
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar

I want to hunt with the tameless world
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar

We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for all the children flow

Tarja sounds like an angel, her voice is just perfect

[darcyfarrow]

This is my favorite Nightwish song that was never deleted. Imagine for how many years. Tarja is still my favorite.

[mailme]

Pure epicness, the birth of legends. Young and fresh...so lucky the people who got to witness those early concerts.

[astralromance]

Oceanborn is still my favorite album. And the unique magic of Tarja, the dark fairy ✨ 🖤

[taufikkurniadi]

I like early Nightwish. More power metal.

[LaveySon]

Tarja´s voice is one of the most beautiful things in the world

really... i miss the "old Nightwish". When i was 19, this was the first song i heard from them. Now, i'm 38

[florenna]

This was the the first I ever heard of Nightwish, in a Finnish radio station around early 1998... Earth-shattering, to say the least. Memories!!

[MigueldeLys]

Ooooh, the good old days of 240p downloading the videos of my favourite bands from Napster, Kazaa and emule. I didnt let my parents use the phone or my brother play AoE2 cause I was in the need to watch all those videos.

[andresweiland]

This video is like a vivid dream: slow motion, close-up shot by the camera and hipnotizing eyes by Tarja. Of course epic song.

[waleriamoura]

I Still love the old days of Nightwish. ✨🖤 Tarja is a really the dark fairy, her voice get my heart! 🖤✨

[kellyhiggins]

This woman is the heart and soul of Nightwish. I'm just a year or two younger than Tarja and I have been a fan of Nightwish fan since the very beginning

Comentario en Español aparece salvajemente. Larga vida a Nightwish!

[kellyhiggins]

Back in the Old Days of Nightwish. I've been a fan from the very start and I'm only 2 or 3 years younger than the original Nightwish.Tarja will always be my favourite Nightwish singer. Annette and Floor are brilliant too but Tarja is truly amazing 💚💛💜❤💙

[LADYROCK]

The "Nightwish" of my dreams.

My God, They're just kids! The youth of a legendary band

[MsCatstaff]

The boys look so cute and geeky with short hair, and Jukka before the bandana. :-)

Oceanborn is the most Christmas-y of all Nightwish albums !!!
