LYRICS:
Take shelter, skies are humming
Harmageddon, 2nd coming
War of the worlds, the end of history

Take shelter, floods are rising
The Wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days
For mankind, and for your kin

Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of `84
Fast death, last breath,
A.I. to kill us all

Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near

We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date

Too late, gather up
It`s the day of

Purgatory, same old story
Cower before a caliphate glory
The Big Read of today will gallow you,
Keep you small

Here’s a million ropes for the hangman
Nightmare cavalcade for the sandman
Mind virus, fear of the well-known
Keep us safe

We are too many for our Mother
Crops will burn so why bother
A new strain sent you back into your cave

Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, feeding humanity
Hide the unshot guns
And the crippled dancing

It`s a long road to a dreamworld
All the pain and suffering to feel for
It`s there, but yours is an empty sermon

Made up the sun rising
Made sense of equus flying
Time for another fear made real

A need to feel dread, gloom, awe
A lust for never-ending doom porn
A man-shaped evil walks among us

Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, the feed, feed the human beast
Hide the unshot guns
The end is fear

It‘s fantastic to see how the story of nightwish goes on and on with all the inspirations that comes in your mind, when you listen to this outstanding music. It an honor to be able to be part of that story - even from the far

[putthekettleonwillya]

I am just happy I live in the same time as Nightwish. ❤

[Dtlv]

It's a joy to be alive in the age of Nightwish. The intelligence and artistry in the writing and scoring, and the talent and brilliance of every single musician makes Nightwish stand alone. Nightwish represents the very best of what music can be. I love this band, and each and every musician who has been a part of it over the years. Thank you all...

[javirios]

The more I listen to the song the more I like it. Everybody does a fantastic job and Floor as always, magnificent. The children's choir is a great addition to the song and of course the orchestra. I love how even with some differences to the Nighwish sound you can still tell is Nighwish. ❤

[Alegria]

Love this song more and more everytime I listen to it. I love, that they picked up this theme, which we are facing in our time and reality since at least the last four years.
They don't talk about certain things officially in interviews and stuff, while other artists (ab)use their influence heavily to spread their own agenda, and to push the side they are on. Nightwish takes a different approach. They encourage independent thought, then poignantly express their stance through their music. I deeply admire it!💛

Tons of hours of selecting the perfect microphone, recording million takes, flying to London to record a real orchestra & choir, spending insane amounts of money in production, countless mixing and mastering hours including dolby atmos, and then finally when the time comes for the world to hear your new masterpiece, you release in MONO AUDIO

[ArsholisGardsey]

We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard, Nightwish now and forevermore since Once. I cannot wait for the rest of Yesterwynde ❤

[edgarromero]

This song has the feel of a spiritual succesor to Noise in terms of the repercussion of giving away, willingly or not, our free will.

[aldopagani]

This song is the demonstration, even if there was no need, that you don't play, you don't sing, you don't act... you are the VIBRATION THAT CREATES LIFE. You are and will always remain in my soul. I send you lots of Light. Kisses from Italy 🇮🇹❤️.
Post scrittum: Every time Floor open her mouth i cry😅 I Love this Mother Nature ❤

[NorseSeggr]

Cant wait to see what they have prepared for us!

[knightfallband]

This was a really cool concept. The makeup on the band was really cool. I’ve said for years Nightwish is more than the music it’s an experience. Tuomas’s writing has been a major influence on me for 25 years.

[ThatofMusic]

Still listening and still loving this Band. Nightwish Army USA checking in! 🎉

[hallvcinations]

Once again impressed with Tuomas' lyrics and even more so with Floor's ability to sing them, because boy do they make a complicated vocal line 🤣 Loved the song, my excitement for the album keeps growing!

[alexsuperstar]

I've heard the song more than 10 times it's amazing, Floor's voice, the chorus ofI've heard the song more than 10 times it's incredible, Floor's voice, the children's choir is spectacular My favorite part is the chorus at the end with Floor's voice Super powerful with her great Belting she is amazing and the whole band with that great sound 😊❤🎉

[leticiamgama]

Hardly recognized the band members, for a moment I thought Floor was not in the video 🤣
No words but: CHILLS! How come this song at the same time it is so different from all the other Nightwish songs, it still carries the Nightwish sentiment to it, and it still differs so much from everything you can find out there.
Gotta rewatch again and again to completely understand the message.
Plus, my birthday today! What a gift!

[Glattuh]

The feeling of falling throughout the entire film makes me uncomfortable, and I love it. It fits the music so well! I absolutely fell in love with it, you have deeply affected me with this one. Well done Nightwish, Stobe and Khimo 😘

[Enzoprogame]

Sou brasileiro e Nightwish é minha banda predileta 👍🏻

[zatanna]

Yes. Yes yes yes. I’ll take ten scoops please! I’m so excited for this album I have no words! It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to listen to the art of such incredibly talented people for over a decade now. Every new release is different, yet so recognisably Nightwish🖤

[TestEchos]

Now I get the 80's vibe of this song. 1984 to be precise 😁.
