Illuminata - Icechild

taken from the album "from the chalice of dreams" by austrian symphonic metal band illuminata

I can't do anything... I've lost the time and eternity... I don't have.

She is standing here dressed all in white
dead eyes closed, skin covered with ice
What does she long for? Feeling the chill upon her face?
What do I long for? Blinking my eyes to see the ruins of my life?

Seduce me, sweetheart, with crimson lies.
For the vanished and unheard
dreaming Icechild.
only loved when she's gone
searching a name for her withered home.

She is painting letters to lines carefully drawn
Makes up childhood games, gropes for toys missed for so long.
For the heart I once had? The one beating in pain.
For the greed in her face? And a man without a name.

Seduce me, sweetheart, with crimson lies.
For the vanished and unheard
dreaming Icechild.
only loved when she's gone
searching a name for her withered home.

Never sailed waves twice
a ship without canvas stranded on ice.
It's all a bitter farewell
yet unblessed, she's the love as old
as the lovely melody her piano told.

@TheAmaranthObsession My last post was it completely. Many of us in the business were let down by the change in news. Some of us were also excited. I thought Annette Olzon was an excellent addition to NW if Tarja couldnt be there and she also deserved more than a 1 album shot. These people change news all the time and its frustrating. I stopped reporting news and started concentrating on my support channels except for Floor Jansen and Revamp. I was right about that demise. Tarja/Liv tour also.

[TheAmaranthObsession]

@kevingthompson13 nope you said Tarja would play. You talked about it as a fact so you deal with the fact you were talking bullshit on Tarja's video.

[kevingthompson13]

@TheAmaranthObsession Talk about a lie, AMARANTH was Annette Olzons work NOT TARJAS. What I had told some people WAY BACK was that Annette was not a certain to continue with NW as she was only retained for a 1 album experiment. Since they were planning a next album Tuomas was thinking of several possibilities including a possible Tarja thing. That didnt work out, Annette was glad to continue with them and all continues on. Its the way this business is, DEAL WITH IT and stop pouting.

[TheAmaranthObsession]

@kevingthompson13 you ain't helping anyone because YOU LIE. i remember you said Tarja would be making some backing vocals for NW latest album, something which is completely FALSE. or you have forgotten about all your comments on Tarja's vid "falling awake"?

[kevingthompson13]

@TheAmaranthObsession Whats your problem? I work in this industry and because all this music is blacked out in the US I decided to start a major support effort to educate people here about all of these and to support them as well. Now, with some 225 bands and artists OFFICIALLY endorsing my work, whats your actual problem with that? This is for fans, its for the bands, and its for all of those that had never heard the likes of great people like Nightwish.Im making a positive difference.Help out.

[TheAmaranthObsession]

@kevingthompson13 i find you everywhere you fucking liar! i remember you were spreading shitty rumours on Tarja Turunen's videos

Enjoy!

@pelsmann Its one huge reason why I started a TOTALLY MUSIC ARTIST CHANNEL, and a TOTALLY FEM METAL CHANNEL. The fem metal channel will end up with around 300 bands alone.On the main channel, although I have an oldschool metal playlist featured now, is overflowing with progressive, power, symphonic, and fem metal bands. We have to stop fixating on single bands and start listening to the actual genre.Music needs our support. There are MANY great bands. Enjoy them all.

[pelsmann]

@kevingthompson13 Yep.. the only resemblence I can see to that of Nightwish, is the fact that both bands are symphonic!!

awesome songwork, guys! Always a favorite....
