Nightwish - The Carpenter

The Carpenter

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
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 has died
Tools of 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
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 has died
Tools of the carpenter

First comment.

GREAT! Nightwish is amazing.

[Wraith606]

This was their first song, right?

@annhend16 This is why some people shouldn't be allowed to have internet.

[AngeloWolfe01]

@annhend16 Wait.... the band is touching your daughter? Okay, first and foremost with all due respect, get your facts straight. You are identifying a band that offers dark metaphors as "satanic." Let me give your insensitive self another point of view. Consider the thought that they are not making this music to represent Satan, or whatever evil deity you believe, but expressing a form of hurt or desperation that faith didn't help. Maybe your daughter needed to... if you own her emotions. =)

@annhend16 *rolls eyes* how about keep your opinions to yourself?

"satanic"....really?

No, I mean REALLY? Get off the internet you fool -_-

[annhend16]

Wow. I don't have a lot to say about this. Excuse me but nothing but satanic crap. I found my youngest daughter listening to this band, and now that I've looked even deeper into them, I know that this is nothing a pop goth band crying for attention that should keep their mouth off the word of god, and my 15 year old daughter!

@Wraith606 I thought their first song was Nightwish. That was before Tarja joined, though

[GhostRiderChikGurl]

this video must be when they first started. oceanborn came out a year later though. i love their albums. toumus is a great song-writer.

[POFkennoth]

She's a bit chubby here :D

[sleepwalkerRS]

AMAZING! :) I love Tarja!

[KAESowski]

It looks like she isn't singing in the refren, it's not a opera voice there
