Ghost Love Score
Nightwish - Topic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 meCure 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
