Nightwish - Over the Hills and Far Away [HD - Lyrics]

Band: Nightwish (Gary Moore - cover)
EP: Over the Hills and Far Away (Spinefarm Records - 2001)
Song: Over the Hills and Far Away

Lyrics:

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heartbeat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swear he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and, over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms is where he'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

I love Nightwish with either Tarja or Anette! Both singers are amazing and I love all the songs they came out with! I will listen to it all!

[KroVey]

@MissFifyDevil I agree with you in all but Anette. I have grown up listening to Nightwish from their first song till their last. People like me cant love em the way they are now cause they are not Nightwish. We cant love Anette not cause she is not Tarja , but cause she cannot sing the way Tarja did. This is the reason Nightwish have changed , to adapt to Anettes profile. There are no real Nightwish fans the way you mean it..

@PrecutThracian I think you are both failing to realize that Nightwish has much deeper roots. Amaranth and Nemo are both based on Tuomas' more emo leanings these days (as he is the core of the band). So yeah, they got a new singer who is less metal, but they were going that way anyway. If you really want goth metal, go listen to The 3rd and The Mortal. This is pop, "as sure as the rivers reach the sea." hah.

@KroVey I think you are confused. You may be honest in you feelings but your wrong to say they are not Nightwish. They are still and will continue to be Nightwish and its not the first time they've lost a band member. 1 member doesn't make a band, This is Nightwish just as much as Amaranth or Nemo.
