Nightwish Quotes

“The deepest solace lies in understanding,
This ancient unseen stream,
A shudder before the beautiful”

“I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
A witnessed the beauty of the beast”

“We live in every moment but this one
Why don’t we recognize the faces loving us so

What’s God if not the spark that started life
Smile of a stranger
Sweet music, starry skies
Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes
Early wake-ups in a moving home
Scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun
Open theme park gates waiting for

Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home”
― Tuomas Holopainen of "Nightwish"

“Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts”

“Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul’s nothing but a name…

The Child bless thee & keep thee forever”
― Tuomas Holopainen of "Nightwish"

I am the destination
I am the home
The tale that reads you”

And this is it”

“My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name”
― Tuomas Holopainen of "Nightwish"
