Lanternlight


Gone is the hurt, the wait
Gone is the warmth of day
A stray boat saved
Happy memories engraved
On into a velvety night
Beneath a lantern light

Last night brought the heaviest of snows
Melting the songs of old
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
Sending me to the drowning moon
Far above a lantern light

I'm in the light and flood
I'm in the four winds
I'm the waves, shaping pebbles, flawless gems
I am the snow on your palm
I am the secret stream
Moss beneath your feet
I am you who climbed off my back
Not long ago
A sheltered song
In a world now gone
Petrichor
The timeless

Turn loose, the swaying boat
Meltwater, sound of spring
I hear our song now, sung by the free
For a thousand more tomorrows
Of an incomplete weave
To the meadows, I go
I'll be waiting for you
Once upon a lantern light

I walk now toward the trees
I am the secret stream
The night falling at my feet
Into the forest of Yesterwynde

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LANTERNLIGHT of NIGHTWISH is also present in the album Yesterwynde (2024)

Biografia

Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band formed in 1996 in Kitee. Considered pioneers of the genre, they have achieved international fame thanks to the combination of heavy metal with classical, orchestral and gothic elements. Their sound is characterized by epic melodies, lyrics often inspired by fantasy and mythological themes, and the powerful operatic voice of Floor Jansen (since 2012), who replaced Tarja Turunen after a period of internal controversy. Among their most representative songs are "Nemo", "Wish I Had An Angel" and "The Islander". The album "Once" (2004) is considered one of their most important works, achieving international success. The band has collaborated with numerous artists, including the Finnish orchestra and composer Tuomas Holopainen, who is also their main songwriter. Nightwish continues to be one of the most influential symphonic metal bands in the world.
