The Poet and the Pendulum - Tacke竹桑
Written by:Tuomas Holopainen
The end
The songwriter's dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of empathica
Of innocence
Empathica
Innocence
The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
One last perfect verse
Is still the same old song
Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
Take me home woo
Getaway runaway fly away
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die I a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for god
Save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die I a whore for this cold world
My home was there and then
Those meadows of heaven
Adventure filled days
One with every smiling face
Please no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home woo
Getaway runaway fly away
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die I a whore for this cold world
Forgive me
I have but two faces
One for the world
One for god
Save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die I a whore for this cold world
A whore for this cold world a whore for this cold world
