Lyrics

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains, and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swear he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and, over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms is where he'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

I don't own anything.

This sounds awfully close to the story of the Count of Monte Cristo :) Which is awesome! I love this ballad and I love the story of Monte Cristo.

in order to fully understand this song, you must know that its really old, from 17th century...back then, women had zero say in who they married, and cheating on your husband meant risking your life....so basically she risks everything for a night with her true love, and he keeps silent+ goes to jail to protect her - even though 'jail' back then meant unheated dungeon cell and very hard physical labor, and 10 years of it could very well kill you.

That's why I like Nightwish, they take the architecture of a typical love song and change the lyrics completely whilst still staying on the basic love principle. Very creative way of a writing a song.

Any song that ends with me screaming UP A KEY and the song doing that is a good song in my book.
