Nightwish - Slaying the Dreamer lyrics
[Nightwish - Slaying the Dreamer lyrics]
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed
Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper
Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too i truly hate you all!
