The Riddler — текст песни (Nightwish)

Riddler, Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the winds
Whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins

Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round
Set a quessing if fantasies are unbound
If tale aren`t just for children to see
That it`s peace is sleep walks with me

As you wish
For kingdom come
The one to know all the answers
You think you dwell in wisdom`s sea
Still, sweet ignorance is the key
To a poet`s paradise
Challenge the Riddler and you will see

Riddler, Riddler ask me why
All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
Hold theait children`s hands for a while
Their hearts forever... yours and mine

Make me wonder what`s the meaning of life
What`s the use to be born and then die
Make me guess who`s the one
Behind the mask of Father and Son

(Repeat chorus)

For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by the hands of where`s and why`s
But by the Ocean`s minds

(Repeat chorus)
