Nightwish - Élan lyrics

Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
In tongues from the time before man
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Let the guest in, walk out
Be the first to greet the morn

The meadows of heaven await harvest
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
Finally your number came up
Free fall await's the brave

Come! Taste the wine, race the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time come!
Surf the clouds, race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea

The answer to the riddle before your eyes
Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
Returning swans and sedulous mice
Writings on the garden's book
In the minute of a lover's look

Building a sandcastle close to the shore
A house of cards from a worn out deck
A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
Write a lyric for the song
Only you can understand

Come! Taste the wine, race the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time come!
Surf the clouds, race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea

Riding hard every shooting star
Come to life, open mind
Have a laugh at the orthodox
Come, drink deep, let the dam of mind seep
Travel with great Élan
Dance a jig at the funeral

Come! Taste the wine, race the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time come!
Surf the clouds, race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea come!
