[00:00.00]The Poet and the Pendulum - Nightwish
[00:01.82]Lyrics by：Tuomas Holopainen
[00:02.89]Composed by：Tuomas Holopainen
[00:27.36]The end
[00:33.16]The songwriter's dead
[00:39.90]The blade fell upon him
[00:46.07]Taking him to the white lands
[00:52.90]Of empathica
[01:00.13]Of innocence
[01:06.84]Empathica
[01:13.39]Innocence
[02:00.81]The dreamer and the wine
[02:04.46]Poet without a rhyme
[02:07.66]A widowed writer torn apart by chains of Hell
[02:14.16]One last perfect verse
[02:17.46]Is still the same old song
[02:21.08]Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
[02:28.69]Take me home
[02:33.35]Get away run away fly away
[02:35.90]Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[02:39.48]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[02:42.58]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[02:46.45]Forgive me
[02:47.41]I have but two faces
[02:49.47]One for the world
[02:50.83]One for God
[02:51.62]Save me
[02:52.61]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[02:55.89]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[03:13.76]My home was there and then those meadows of heaven
[03:20.45]Adventure-filled days
[03:23.76]One with every smiling face
[03:27.19]Please no more words
[03:30.25]Thoughts from a severed head
[03:33.91]No more praise
[03:35.54]Tell me once my heart goes right
[03:41.49]Take me home
[03:46.08]Get away run away fly away
[03:49.06]Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[03:52.34]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[03:55.63]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[03:59.15]Forgive me
[04:00.15]I have but two faces
[04:02.23]One for the world
[04:03.49]And one for God
[04:04.57]Save me
[04:05.40]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[04:08.81]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[04:12.25]A w***e for the cold world a w***e for the cold world
[04:49.88]Sparkle my scenery
[04:58.22]With Turquoise waterfall
[05:02.19]With beauty underneath
[05:06.50]The ever free
[05:11.42]Tuck me in beneath the blue
[05:19.68]Beneath the Pain
[05:24.11]Beneath the rain
[05:28.91]Goodnight kiss for a child in time
[05:37.54]Swaying blade my lullaby
[05:52.19]On the shore we sat and hoped
[06:00.41]Under the same pale moon
[06:04.29]Whose guiding light chose you
[06:08.67]Chose you all
[06:32.48]"I'm afraid I'm so afraid
[06:35.17]Being raped again and again and again
[06:37.84]I know I will die alone
[06:39.45]But loved
[06:40.97]You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns
[06:43.80]Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
[06:47.07]Live long enough to see your friends betray you
[06:50.87]For years I've been strapped unto this altar
[06:54.26]Now I only have three minutes and counting
[06:57.29]I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me
[07:01.09]A death I always longed for"
[08:08.60]2nd robber to the right of Christ
[08:11.84]Cut in half infanticide
[08:15.18]The world will rejoice today
[08:17.79]As the crows feast on the rotting poet
[08:35.12]Everyone must bury their own
[08:38.33]No pack to bury the heart of stone
[08:41.71]Now he's home in hell serves him well
[08:44.68]Slain by the bell tolling for his farewell
[08:48.50]Next morning dawned upon his altar
[08:51.65]Remains of the dark passion play
[08:55.02]Performed by his friends without shame
[08:58.31]Spitting on his grave as they came
[09:01.73]Get away run away fly away
[09:04.43]Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
[09:07.97]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[09:11.31]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[09:14.91]Forgive me
[09:15.85]I have but two faces
[09:17.83]One for the world
[09:19.23]And one for God
[09:20.24]Save me
[09:21.14]I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more
[09:24.53]I cannot die I a w***e for the cold world
[09:27.83]A w***e for the cold world w***e for the cold world
[09:35.67]"Today in the year of our Lord
[09:37.34]2005Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
[09:41.96]He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
[09:45.12]The music he wrote had too long been without silence
[09:48.73]He was found naked and dead
[09:51.25]With a smile in his face
[09:53.18]A pen and 1000 pages of erased text"
[09:57.50]Save me
[11:06.78]Be still my son
[11:11.25]You're home
[11:19.94]Oh when did you become so cold
[11:32.69]The blade will keep on descending
[11:46.01]All you need is to feel my love
[11:59.98]Search for beauty find your shore
[12:12.35]Try to save them all bleed no more
[12:25.78]You have such oceans within
[12:38.80]In the end I will always love you
[12:59.50]The beginning
