Heart Lying Still - Nightwish

The nightingale is still locked in the cage

The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs

An old oak sheltering me from the blue

Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves

A catnap in the ghost town of my heart

She dreams of story time and the river ghosts

Of mermaids, of Whitman’s and the Ride

Raving harlequins, gigantic toys

A song of me a song in need

Of a courageous symphony

A verse of me a verse in need

Of a pure heart singing me to peace

All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

All that great heart lying still

In silent suffering

Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end

What is left for encore

Is the same old Dead Boy’s song

Song in silence

All that great heart lying still and slowly dying

All that great heart lying still on an angel wing

A midnight flight into Covington Woods

A princess and a panther by my side

These are Territories I live for

I’d still give my everything to love you more
