House of Wax
Tarja Lyrics
Lightning hit's the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future
Hidden in the yard hidden in the yard
Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Away from their confusion
Hidden in the yard undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all
Lightning hit's the house of wax
Woman scream and run around
To dance upon the battleground
Like wild demented horses
Hidden in the yard undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future
Hidden in the yard hidden in the yard
Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Hidden in the yard undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all
Lightning hit's the house of wax
Woman scream and run around
To dance upon the battleground
Like wild demented horses
Hidden in the yard undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all

This is what I was looking for! It’s so strange to hear Tarja singing this way but I love it 😻
Ligeia Noire
She finally did it here, she mastered the mixing of her classical singing with popular singing. Paul McCartney wrote it, she made it into a masterpiece. I have no words. I am in complete awe, perfect intertwining of chest and head voice, so masterfully done. That climax in the middle with that deep, dramatic and powerful chest voice of hers, is just pure bliss. Who would imagine Tarja singing like this 10 years ago?
The Siren.

Amazing as always ! Wé love you Tarja!
Ligeia Noire
Oh yes, who would imagine Tarja would one day sing like this? Amazing!
Ligeia Noire
Exactly what I said before. Completely agree.
Bryanzero6
Ligeia Noire Agreed. I must say I'm enjoying watching her voice evolve over the years. She seems to enjoy experimenting with what her voice is capable of rather than resting on the style she became known for in Nightwish, which would have been the easy choice
