Nightwish - How's The Heart? lyrics

We see a mother with no child
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
How`s the heart while it still beats?
Asks a no-one another John Doe

Sorrow hides well in your shell
A fellow man with hurt to spare dear one
Here I am to share the fear
An act of kindness without an amen
How`s the heart underneath the silence?
How`s the one drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire`s warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note you know where
You`ve been there

Now there`s one who came from me
A child of light, another tale dear one
Night will come but not to stay why?
The answer`s in the

Fair winds my love fly towards the calm
Fly utterly lost towards a beating heart

How is that heart underneath the silence?
How is the one drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire`s warm
Dull the blade and dance some more
