LYRICS:
Something from the earth came
Something for the world
Mosaic of broken fragile pieces
Tesserae of the deceased
Born to a novel world

Endless chain unbroken
Silent clocks rewinding
My song it is for mankind
Embers to the stars

We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We´re the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a death bed
Time set
For a curious ghost

Lives lived plain and epic
Of eudaemonia
12 score and 1 chain of lives unending
Welcoming as my offspring
Walks me to the weave

I´m biologist. NW inspired me to become a biologist in 2015 with EFMB, and now I helped to discover a new shrew species... just imagine how I feel every time I watch by first time a NW video inspired in nature and evolution... THANK YOU NIGHTWISH. Kiitos!!!😍🔥🔥

In order to be born
you needed:
2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1, 024 eight great-grandparents
2, 048 ninth great-grandparents
For you to be born today from
12 previous generations
you needed 4, 094 ancestors
over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment about
how many struggles and battles,
how much sadness,
happiness,
love stories,
and hopes for the future
they have to undergo
for you to exist in this present moment.

You are the dream of many ancestors.

And somehow, you managed to live in the same timeline as Nightwish 💖

Many thanks to the 24 564 persons, over the past 400 years, who made this band possible 🙏🏻

I like the message at the beginning! About the Ancestors and how they all probably had joys and pains and hopes and wishes too.

[cainyourkids]

"You are the dream of many ancestors."

I'm on a jampacked train standing skin-to-skin with other people in a car with a broken AC in a tropical city after an exhausting 8 hour shift and I'm just trying to survive through this day and, for some reason, I see this line and my eyes are watering and my heart is, at once, too big and too whole and too empty.

I listened to Stargazers 15 years ago, and decided to become an Astronomer. Now I'm about to complete my Ph.D. I recently gave a TEDx talk about how the Night Sky unites Humanity, and how Astronomy can foster kindness and compassion in our world, and bring people together. No matter who we are, our background, the night sky inspires us! I have the same feeling with this song, this masterpiece.

Not only the Universe, Life unite us, Nightwish also unites us! Hail, Nightwish! For the countless inspirations across the world!

[FrozenMonkee]

I’ve been a fan of Nightwish for nearly 25 years now and I think of all of their albums as an amusement park with each song being its own ride where you close your eyes and let the music take you on a journey of twists, turns, loops, vivid imagery, laughs, tears, and amazing feelings that you want to ride again.

Nightwish are like a fine wine they get better the older they get. yet another fantastic album

[nzlebkj]

The text in the beginning gave a whole new meaning for the instrumental part. What an experience. Thank you Nightwish, can’t wait for the whole album🤯

[laudatosiadastra]

A few years ago, together with a dear friend, we gave a very old early edition book to Tuomas. It was ´The Origin of Species` by Charles Darwin. The look that he gave me when he looked up at me will stick with me until I die. He looked amazed and excited and commented that it´s the most important book of our times. It was so meaningful to see it being featured in this new video. What an amazing and epic song.. Goosebumps all over. Thank you Nightwish <3

[barbarapintocorreia]

'You are the dream of many ancestors'. This is beautiful ❤

[ohsnapskie]

First listen 😮wow 🤯 thanks to a special person for introducing me

[christinamatic]

How does Tuomas make 8 minutes seem so short?? NW has been and always will be my favorite band because they don't just make music--they tell stories, forcing music and poetry and art to their boundaries and creating something greater than the sum of its parts. I love this song.

[mariettalyon]

Nightwish is proof that HOPE and LIGHT still exist in this world 🩷

[Forgaen]

Thank you Nightwish for showing that Palaeontology, Anthropology and Evolutionary History ROCKS!

[JuanCarabajal]

This feels like a perfect sequel to The Greatest Show on Earth. Beautiful song and beautiful message. Can't wait for the whole album!

[acurioustraveller]

My best friend suddenly passed away a couple months ago. Nightwish was our favorite band.
I still remember us during lockdown, listening to Human Nature and just being so excited. 🙂
We eventually got to see Nightwish live in 2022.

I was so excited to listen to this with her. But I just feel horrible.

[Dryadkal]

That thumbnail... it already looks beautiful. The title is heavenly poetic too. New Nightwish music, what a treat. What a time to be alive. Tuomas looks amazing in the photo. Been fan since I was 10, now almost 30. With the spirit of Nightwish in this world, the world is less dark.

[bernharddeykowski]

I've been listening to this song over and over again since day one. One of the things you hear in it is that Holopainen has completed his trilogy. The Greatest Show On Earth... 👌

[dhararahl]

I am nearly 40. I listen Nw since I was 15. Thank you Nightwish, Thank you for all the emotions you made me feel !
