Nightwish - Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean (ft. Tapio Wilska)

Taken from their second album, Oceanborn (1998).
Enjoy!!!

Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean
Composer: Tuomas Holopainen

A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
Prophecy of becoming floods

An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creator of the Night

Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord

Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's tomb

"I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
- Hail the Oceanborn!"

"Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle of the image of god"

"Brave now long rest is sweet
With me here in the deep"

"I prayed for pleasure wished for love
Prayed for your - "

"Never pray for me!"

"Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to see?"

"This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for me"

"Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be...ee...eeee"

"From cradle to coffin
Shall my wickedness be your passion"

We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
The eternity will begin once again in peace...

i miss.. the

divine voice of tarja..

the tuomas that leaves his own keyboard to bang hard...

the aggressive double bass footwork of jukka..

the pure metal erno..

the harsh voice of their technical security guy, mr. wilska...

and also sami's era that nightwish always produce real symphonic metal..

that's all..

[krwawamagnolia786]

Tarja is the best!

REPLAY <3 =**

[Metalornothing1]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM! my favorite power metal album. don't like their last 3 however

[The7thsonof7thson]

@1GTX1 Sorry but I have to ask the same question I've asked many times: do you think "The Poet and the Pendulum" is pop?

[mullent169]

it doesn't matter, every SINGLE song from Nightwish is awesome. the old era was better and Tarja is by far a goddess with a magical voice. Annette just took over and is trying to live in Tarja's shadow. she does an alright job but she is no where near as powerful as Tarja. :D

[1GTX1]

@njcandoit From Metalwish to Popwish :D

[Anetteluxveritatis]

2:47-2:50 love this part!

[xskullxkissesx]

Jesus fucking christ people, tarja left in mid 200's. It's been like 5-6 years! TARJA IS NOT COMING BACK! She is doing AMAZING on her own solo career. If you don't like the new nightwish, don't bitch about them. Just watch their old stuff. Anette is good in her own way, Tarja is good in her own way. End of fucking story.

[Supernature06]

This is real Nightwish. Nightwish sold out with Century Child.

[SerasxAlucard]

@bebitajojo LOL Tarja was fired, nothing will change that. And "without her the band is not and will not perform half the way it was" Bullshit. Tarja sucked lived, I prefer Anette with Nightwish

[CanalTal]

Nightwish´s last good album was wishmaster... after that, Nightwish was already not the same... But I like that song Amaranth and a few others from later... Putting like 37,896,245 layers of Anette´s voice at the same time, it´s close to being at Tarja´s feet. But since Century Child even Tarja´s voice had already lost it´s magic...
