Moondance
♫ Nightwish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
(Instrumental)
As this is an instrumental piece, there are no lyrics to interpret. However, the melody and musical arrangement of "Moondance" still convey a certain mood and feeling. The song opens with a haunting melody played on a pipe instrument, which instantly creates an atmospheric and otherworldly vibe. The orchestration that follows features a combination of strings, percussion, and keyboards, creating a sense of mellow yet powerful energy. Without any words to guide the listener, the song speaks through pure sound, evoking a sense of wonder and mystery.

(Lyrics)
The sun is sleeping quietly once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Lyric here:
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

This is not just a song, it's a portal that takes our back in time to teenage years.

I do think I know what you words are about, but to me, it is The Meaning of All Times in Life, no matter Age. ( I am nearly 75 ! )
@insylum
I remember being homeless and going to the library on their computers and just sitting there listening to this with tears in my eyes
@kim_rain
Really it is. In these years I felt everything deeply and this song touched my soul. Now I am listening but I just feel nostalgia 😢
@Endru85x
This song reminds me of rock and metal buddies from school. We used to be a bunch of people doing ton of stuff, now we are scattered all over the world busy with everday routines and some has left this world. This music helps me keep memories of those people and moments we shared back then @@kim_rain

Tarja!!! Nightwish is Tarja!!!
@smeten101
I cry when I listen to this song. Best Era of Nightwish.

I heard this song for the first time in 2005. It completely fascinated me and it still fascinates me today. Tarja and Nightwish became my band of choice. I still listen to Tarja and Nigthwish today. I'm just very sorry I didn't have time to visit their concert with Tarja and Marko Hietala. I am 73 years old and in December I was at the Nigtwish concert in Prague. At least I got my wish that way.
@flemmingfisker3847
For the first time listening to Nigtwish (2023), I'm still stunned by the lyrics, voice, music, expression, simply just amazing, never before have I heard something like this ❤
Wish I had heard it a decade ago.
