Title: Romanticide
Lyrics:
God, love, and rest my soul.
With this Sun down, never ending
The feeling is gone, yet you ain't gonna see me fail.

I am the decadence of your world.
I am an eider covered in oil.
Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore.

Tell me why
No heart to cry?
Hang me high.

The music is dead. The amen is said.
The kiss of faith is what I beg,
A loving heart and soul for sale.

Tell me why
No heart to cry?
Hang me high.

Leave me be, and cease to tell me how to feel,
To grieve, to shield myself from evil.
Leave me be. Od of lies is killing me.
Romanticide till love do me part.

See me ruined by my own creations.

Leave me be, and cease to tell me how to feel,
To grieve, to shield myself from evil.
Leave me be. Od of lies is killing me.
Romanticide till love do me part.

Dead boy's alive, but without sense.
I need a near-death experience.
Heart once bold now turned to stone.
Perfection, my messenger from Hell.

Wine turns to water,
Campfires freeze,
Love letters burn, romance is lost.
Lord, let me be wrong in this pain.

Temporary pain, eternal shame
To take part in this devil's chess game.
Spit on me, let go, get rid of me,
And try to survive your stupidity!

Does somebody know what "OD" means? From the main part:

"leave me be OD of lies is killing me"

[HammerFallman]

Someone has mentioned that here before. It probably means overdose, if that person is correct. (check out the previous comments)

[George Petrellis]

actually it is ode of lies is killing me. ode is a greek world for song or a lyrical poem, in this case.

[HammerFallman]

Yeah, probably, and that's exactly what I thought, but on their website says "od".

[davy j.y.]

is there a bad song on this album..?

[HammerFallman]

@davycrocketful

In my opinion Oceanborn, Century Child and Once have each 5/5 song. Their Heavy Metal albums before Once are excellent, but these three are perfect.

[Johnakos Eco]

OD is an acronym for overdose

[Deflecto9]

Over Dose

[388bobek]

lol 2007 onward - pop

I agree :D

now this is what I signed up for

[SuperGodlike101]

So fucking METAL!

I got a rage boner from this song.

[yugijak]

Perhaps it was misspelled? That does happen, and to be honest the word 'ode' is not exactly commonly used in the modern day.

[frangirl43]

It means overdose

[Mariusz Ignatowski]

Podziw i szacunek, wokal super

[dziki3366]

'od' in polish means 'from sbd'. But Nightwish dont know that I think:)

[JackyVSO]

OD makes sense, and it's a common abbrevation for "overdose", used in connection with drugs. "Ode of lies" makes no sense.
