Ghost Love Score
Nightwish & John Two-Hawks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever

Scent of the sea before waking afterwards
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

My fall will be for you

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true lovers
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
the one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of
Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

My fall will be for you

The line "If you be the one to cut me, I'll bleed forever" is a beautiful metaphor suggesting their love is never-ending, and if one were to leave the other, the love would still remain as a part of them always.



Furthermore, the song speaks about the power of memory and how it can transport someone to a different time and place where they felt boundless happiness. The scent of the sea before waking can trigger thoughts of someone special and transport the singer to a world of blue memory. The song also mentions a siren who brings the child of one of the true lovers, showing how the power of love goes beyond the ordinary world. The repeated lyrics "Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home" might suggest a longing for a certain kind of love where one feels complete and safe, no matter the cost.


Overall, the lyrics of Ghost Love Score speak about a love that is powerful enough to transcend time and space, that goes beyond reality and enters the realm of dreams and memories. It's a beautiful song about being lost, being found, and most importantly- being loved.

"Creek Mary's Blood" Lyrics



Nightwish





Mitakuye oyasin lel ohinni e yelo

(All of my people are all still here)



Soon I will be here no more

You'll hear my tale

Through my blood

Through my people

And the eagle's cry

The bear within will never lay to rest



Wandering on Horizon Road

Following the trail of tears



White man came

Saw the blessed land

We cared, you took

You fought, we lost

Not the war but an unfair fight

Sceneries painted beautiful in blood



Wandering on Horizon Road

Following the trail of tears

Once we were here

Where we have been since the world began

Since time itself gave us this land



[Singing in Lakotan]



Our souls will join again the wild

Our home in peace 'n war 'n death



Wandering on Horizon Road

Following the trail of tears

Once we were here

Where we have been since the world began

Since time itself gave us this land



[Poem in Lakotan]

Hanhepi iyuha mi ihanbla ohinni yelo



Òn sunkmanitutankapi hena,

sunkawakanpi watogha hena,



oblaye t'ankapi oihankesni hena



T'at'epi kin asni kiyasni he

akatanhanpi iwankal





Oblaye t'anka kin

osicesni mitakuyepi òn



Makoce kin wakan

Wakan Tanka kin òn



Miwicala ohinni - Hanhepi iyuha

kici - Anpetu iyuha kici yelo



Mi yececa hehaka kin yelo, na

ni yececa sunkmanitutankapi



kin ka mikaga wowasaka isom



Uncinpi tuweni nitaku keyas ta k'u



Unwakupi e'cela e wiconi

wanji unmakainapi ta yelo



Anpetu waste e wan olowan

le talowan winyan ta yelo



Unwanagi pi lel e nita it'okab o'ta ye



Untapi it'okab o'ta



Na e kte ena òn hanska ohakap

ni itansni a'u nita ni ihanke yelo



ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I still dream every night

Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies

The restless winds over mountaintops

The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin

The hallowed land of the Great Spirit

I still believe

In every night

In every day

I am like the caribou

And you like the wolves that make me stronger

We never owed you anything

Our only debt is one life for our Mother

It was a good day to chant this song

For Her



Our spirit was here long before you

Long before us

And long will it be after your pride brings you to your death

Nightwish und sonst nichts. Danke für eure großartige Musik. ❤

@danielgyllenbreider

A song about defending your lands against invaders. Timeless.

@Hairysteed

As much as I appreciate the Idea of America as in "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness", I can't help but see upon how much injustice it has been built upon, namely slavery and the mistreatment of natives.

There's a lot of work to be done before America can truly be called the land of the free!

@VAMPEDU

A truly masterpiece indeed

@godzilla964

I hope that actual Native Americans aren't offended by this. I heard that John Two Hawks isn't actually a native american. But despite that, this song, I think, respects the suffering that America's indigenous people endured.

@nicksantus5307

How do you describe something like this, It's more like a Spiritual or religious experience Absolutely awesome, amazing, wonderful. Throw your own superlatives at it Will they ever be enough no their will never be enough, Loved this song from first time i heard it But this live performance really brings out the full majesty and beauty of this amazing work

12 minutes of beauty and tears...how did I not know of this heartbreaking song??? I didn't understand a word of John Two-Hawks' 'Stone People', but my heart understood the sorrow of his ancestor's pain in a way that books can't. When Tarja sang of the Trail of Tears in 'Creek Mary's Blood' I sobbed out loud😢😢😢...still weeping. Thank you Suki for this video.💔💔💔x
