The Islander by Nightwish - Lyrics

Here is the song The Islander by Nightwish. I hope you all enjoy the song!

Lyrics:

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name...

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar...

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all
An island of the universe

Oohh...

Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago

So long ago...
So long ago...

This is for long-forgotten!
Light at the end of the world!
Horizon crying!
The tears he left behind so long ago!

So long ago...

... You DO know he's talking about the past right? Of those that were exiled...? An ancient practice now denied by the UN?

but this song sounds like another i heard in a movie Irish one well action was there movie was USA made

[notoriousbig3k]

maybe the composer misses Tarja and the album is dedicated to her as a tribute many Bands do that if they had a long career with that particulari memeber who left or got fired

@H3c70rit0 Well in the video for Bye Bye Beautiful, they clearly used the imagery of the girl musicians becoming overcome by the guys. Tuomas' big "You aren't Nightwish. And we're going to prove it" to Tarja.
