Live To Tell The Tale — Nightwish

A single grain can tip the scale Amidst the burden the scale will prevail Showing what's worth being here Storyteller by a hearth of stone A white little creature purring me My childhood kingdom gone in time The islands filling my mind with blue The one in special, heaven's court

All the joy unforgiven by this task

An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale

The days are filled with anxiety Frustration, one right note a day Where to find a perfect tune Just do the work and take a step back

All the joy unforgiven by this task

An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale

Dark chambers of my mind Locked around the neck of my love None of you understand And it doesn't matter To a broken marionette like me

An errant soul, homeless and foul All gone but the will to Live to tell the tale
