Nightwish- The Pharaoh Sails to Orion

[oberstul]

On topic: how did Nightwish know that I LOVE Egyptian lore? Efffing great song!

Off topic: I miss the good old days when we argued whether Nighwish was death symphonic or melodic metal; nowadays, it seems, it's Anette's that and Tarja's that!

[Themalenesolfjell]

For me, I liked the old lyrics of Nightwish better than the new, I don't mean that the new lyrics sucks or are bad, but I miss when Thoumas wrote lyrics like this... But really good song:3

[EtruriaChannel]

Live is even better!



[09havocworm]

pretty good song.

[ShadowACS]

god, just when I was starting to think that there may be better bands than nightwish, I heard this song.

[zenzen126]

they need to put this song in a castlevania game

[dondiyogo]

Reveal your face to me and guide me though the Stygian fields

[manasek096]

[TheMankrikscow]

<3

[xskullxkissesx]

i love this flute solo :D

[sheetstain69]

I dont like all theyr music but this rules

[TheFinalPaladin]

the part that starts at 4:29 is so epic and is the reason why I love this song so much

[CanalTal]

I used to paint while listening to this songs for years... I only painted castles, fantasy, etc. I´m a professional painter now.

[Corpsegrinder974]

First time listening to it. Great song and ambiance, nice picture too.

[GSPM4EVER]

i love all their harder stuff and this song is included

[shtml54]

Makes me want to play Castlevania

[raizr]

This is one of Nightwish's cooler, more mystic songs in my opinion.

The name of the song adds to the awesomeness.

[TheFourthDefender]

also, this song kicks ass

[musikmood]

they dont have that sound for a stupid vocalist, nightwish is not a vocalist, if you really are a old fan, you have to know, that nightwish never sound like nightwish.

angels fall fisrt is not like ocenaborn, oceanborn is not like wishmaster, wishmaster is not like century child, CC is not like once, and once is not like dark passion play, nightwish is so different in all their albums, Tuomas said : I WLL NEVER MAKE A SIMILAR ALBUM

soo.. nightwish since angels fall first, is not the same.

[TheFourthDefender]

@musikmood thumbs up for knowing that. Nobody remembers it nowadays but Nightwish DID start out as some local frikkin finnish folkjazz band :O

[musikmood]

@TheFourthDefender eey I greed, I remember my fist song of nw, was in a cassette from therion, once upon troubador, in germany wasnt easy to find this kind of music, but when they come on live, was so rare jaja, but good.

now the people have an easy way to find music, and for that reason any kind of person can hear this music.

but some fans hear the music in a superficial way, and others mature persons feel the music, that is the big differnece between fans.

[polishafrutzzi]

i mii dio0s!! k temazo0!!! (L) love nightwish!!!

[darkarchon777]

is the male vocalist tapio? it sounds like him

[TealBerryEmerald]

@darkarchon777 Yup.

[elfboy21092]

@DeeKhaVau Screw you. Just because Anette used to be a pop singer doesn't mean Nightwish is a pop band. They got rid of Tarja because she was pompous and too focused on herself.

[Claysers]

This is GHOTIC DOOM METAL!!!

[DutchStarLeague]

it`s a transverse Flute.

[DAGONLINUX]

the new nightwish sucks! they should have not fired the singer

[nightwishcobhcsuomi]

There isn't any words for saying how this song is beautiful.... <3

Nightwish, you keep me alive...<3

[xHellstrikerx]

I'm mad about the ending of this masterpiece.

[Hellfire7896321]

Can anybody tell me which flute was used in the song around 4:21? I love string and wind instruments.

[HellFire2034]

i just bought oceanborn awhile ago frm amazon cant wait till it come ill listen to the album all day long :D

[tremapar]

I have to admit, the beginning of this song is pretty epic.

I have to admit, the middle of this song is pretty epic.

I have to admit, the end of this song is pretty epic.

[FzNd]

Best Nightwish song to the present day. period. :)

[Surykatkaaa]

Wow, I love everything in this piece! The piano is insane, the vocals of Tarja make the listener shiver, and that evil voice just adds to the divinity. Ad the druuums 6.^

I'm in love with the old days of this band *.*

[lateralex90]

this is one of Nightwish Best songs...if they would have continued composing songs like this one or devil and the deep dark ocean, they'd be awesome...the only thing good in the new Nightwish are the orchestral arrangements...

[KaydenET]

This is one of the best-written songs, by Nightwish or otherwise, I've ever heard. I personally can't find a single flaw in the lyrics, and I love how the song details a story rather than just some boring, stereotypical romance. And the part where Tarja begins singing (around 2:43, specifically) is just... I can't come up with words to describe it. Incredible.

"Sailing on the distant seas, from darkness to deliverance. Tales like the ocean, written to the Draco's glance.~"

[xNightmarexVampsx]

@KaydenET I completely, whole-heartedly agree with you. I couldn't have said it better myself. Tuomas' lyrics and Tarja's vocals just made this band incredible.

[TestaXDizzy]

Epic opening, middle, and end.

[PLAiro]

Dragonbane2607, I would say that u are a one disturbed person...

[PLAiro]

This is bullshit scam! Are u happy now scammer?

[orcwarlock8]

@PLAiro lol the screamer sounds funny

[SacredAngel93]

Woww...truly amazing!!

[ADyingFaith]

This song is just perfect in every way.

[JordanMcCoyFan94]

Awesome!

[hadymorad]

this is nightwish's greatest album

[mauevil4]

[adraxethmera91]

This song is divine!!!!!!!

[achamachne]

Best symphonic metal band ever

[warriorpowermetal]

@achamachne a correction, nightwish is symphonic power metal, and yes, is the best symphonic power metal band ever!!!!

[Claysers]

@warriorpowermetal No no no

Nightwish is GHOTIC DOOM METAL !!!

[Soadevafan933212]

@Claysers Nightwish is Symphonic Power Metal lol......

[Claysers]

@Soadevafan933212 Nightwish is a GHOTIC DOOM METAL Band from Finland!!!!!!!!!!

[Soadevafan933212]

@Claysers No they are not....I listen to Doom metal sounds nothing like this, EVERYONE knows they are power metal, spare me your stupidity, and I know where they are from, and you spelled gothic wrong, it makes you look ignorant. doom metal is Candlemass, symphonic power metal is Nightwish. Learn metal or GTFO. :D, Love you <3!

[Talassan]

4:55 favorite part of any song every made

[Psypomp]

One of the BEST Nightwish songs ever... I''ve never heard Annette do this one, and frankly, I don't know if I want to.

Angelisrael, Till Lindemann should totally collaborate with Tuomas.. it would be epic.

[Kahn2580]

my favourite part is 4.06-5.38

[PokeCoasterFreak]

Wow, best song from the Oceanborn album! I love the 38-second long big rock ending at 5:38! Longest and best big rock ending EVER!!!!

[FutureMrsEmppuV]

one of my fave songs on this CD

[GasSnake2003]

I love Nightwish, so epic... Annette's got skill, but I still miss Tarja :'(

[Lapsellinen]

awesome song awesome album awesome band awesome Tuomas <333333

[0RegieSatanas0]

Get away from me

take heed to thyself and see my face no more

for in the day thou shallt see my face

[angelisreal]

OK now this sounds like it has the lead singer from Rammstein. I know it's not him but it sounds like it.

[DarkMindedllamas]
