Slaying The Dreamer — текст песни (Nightwish)

I`m a priest for the poorest sacrifice

I`m but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed

You bathed in my wine

Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme

Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds



Put a stake through my heart!

And drag me into sunlight

So awake for your greed

As you`re slaying the dreamer



Swansong for the Wish of Night

God it hurts, give a name to the pain

Our primrose path to hell is growing weed



Blame me, it`s me

Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat

Dumb kid, living a dream

Romantic only on paper



Tell me why you took all that was mine!

Stay as you lay - don`t lead me astray!



Wake up, mow the weed

You`d be nothing without me

Take my life if you have the heart to die



You bastards tainted my tool

Raped my words, played me a fool

Gather your precious glitter and leave me be

The Great Ones are all dead

And I`m tired, too



I truly hate you all!
