Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (2005) [HD - Lyrics]

Band: Nightwish
Album: Oceanborn (Spinefarm Records - 1999)
Song: Sleeping Sun

Lyrics:

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night time
to last for a life-time
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you....

It's not only a song but also an epic.

Absolutnie genialne! Chciałbym, by ten utwór - w tej aranżacji - towarzyszył mi kiedyś, w Ostatniej Drodze.

@ussimark A while back I read an interpretation by someone who said they thought of this video as the battle at Vigrior in Norse mythology. In this interpretation, Tarja is thought to be a Valkyrie who has chosen warriors from across time and prepared them for this battle - hence the conflicting battle gear.

@Kerachronicle
She did. It features guest musicians from the Somalian philharmonic orchestra and guest vocals from Varg Vikernes on the track "Run Rudolph, run"

[burkh]

I like such music when I sitzte on computer and want to relax I hear their music

[Alegorn]

@TheSanoth23 Love Nightwish with Tarja!!!

[MarshallBlsGibson]

At 3:21 i saw a heart of blood on marcos jar! O.o ...Perfect song and vid! Cheers

[lesio]

I think so, they must look like angels?!!!

[missrosepetals]

@ussimark Lol no probs - I know nothing about Norse mythology, so I was also grateful to this person for their interpretation. :)
