Dead Gardens - Nightwish

The story behind the painting I drew is already told

No more tearstains on the pages of my diary

Tired but unable to give up since I`m

Responsible for the lives I saved

The play is done

The curtain`s down

All the tales are told

All the orchids gone

Lost in my own world

Now I care for dead gardens

My song is little worth anymore

Time to lay this weary pen aside

The play is done

The curtain`s down

Where are the wolves, the underwater moon

The elvenpath, the haven of youth

Lagoons of the starlit sea

Have I felt enough for one man`s deed?

Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days

And let the virgin conceive

All the tales…
