Nightwish - The Carpenter

Directed by Sami Käyhkö
Filmed in Helsinki, Finland and in Henningsvær, Norway during spring 1998

The Carpenter [Lyrics]

Who are you? Man condemned to shine a salvation
Throughout the centuries

Why? Was the wine of the grail
Too sour for man to drink

The carpenter
Carved his anchor
On the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
Lay the tools of the one who for us had died
Tools of the carpenter

The one they lick
The same old sick
Dream of their precious saviour

Kiss them deep
And make them weep
Over promises of eternal peace

The carpenter...

I hear you
Through the symphonic voices of nature
The purity I could never doubt
They tell me to lie on the grass
And observe my saviour
The one crucified to the chirping of birds

The carpenter...

I don't understand why Nightwish had to look for another vocalist, Tuomas and Marco could do the vocals without any problems. XD

Apparently the original version of this video featured the other band members, including Tuomas singing. But they didn't like it and scrapped it :-( I'd have liked to see it though. Tuomas isn't a great singer, but his hushed vocal style was interesting and lent another quality to the music.

Part of this video was shot in Henningsvær, on the Lofoten Islands, Norway. I went there in 2009 for a night or two, but didn't recognize it much from this video, haha.

Tuomas sings in this song!

[TheMysteriousMrVega]

The video doesn't seem to have anything to do with lyrics at all.
