Gethsemane Lyrics

Nightwish Gethsemane

Toll no bell for me, Father
                 But let this cup of suffering pass from me
                    Send me no shepherd to heal my world
                     But the Angel - the dream foretold
                   Prayed more than thrice for You to see
                        The wolf of loneliness in me
                  ...not my own will but Yours be done...

                       You wake up, where's the tomb?
                      Will Easter come, enter my room?
                           The lord weeps with me
                         But my tears fall for you

                               Another beauty
                              Loved by a Beast
                     Another tale of infinitely dreams
                      Your eyes they were my paradise
                        Your smile made my sun rise

                  Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain
                        Alone in this garden of pain
                       Enchantment has but one truth:
                     I weep to have what I fear to lose

                              (Repeat chorus)

                          "Iknew you never before
                            I see you never more
             But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautifull one
              Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"

                                Without you
                        The poetry within me is dead

    "You tell me, my love; It's not love if it's not forever. But let me
   tell you; A Scene could brmuch more to remember than the play itself."


                                With Wishes for you, in June '98
