Nightwish – Dead Gardens Lyric

aus dem Album Once

Part I:

The story behind the painting I drew is already told
No more tearstains on the pages of my diary
Tired but unable to give up since I'm
Responsible for the lives I saved

Bridge:

The play is done
The curtain's down

Refrain:

All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens

Part II:

My song is little worth anymore
Time to lay this weary pen aside

Middle Part:

"Where are the wolves, the underwater moon
The elvenpath, the haven of youth
Lagoons of the starlit sea

Have I felt enough for one man's deed?
Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days
And let the virgin conceive"
