Dead To The World Nightwish

  All the same take me away
we're dead to the world


  The child gave thought to the poet's words
gave comfort to the fallen
(heartfelt, lovelorn)


  Remaining, yet still uninvited
those words scented my soul
(lonely soul, ocean soul)


  It's not the monsters under your bed
it is the man next door
that makes you fear, makes you cry
makes you cry for the child
all the wars are fought amongst those lonely men
unarmed, unscared


  I don't want to die a scarless man
a lonely soul
(tell me now what to do)


  I studied silence to learn the music
I joined the sinful to regain innocence


  Heaven queen, cover me
in all that blue
little boy such precious joy
is dead to the world


  Heaven queen carry me
away from all the pain
all the same take me
we're dead to the world


  Dead, silent, constant
yet always changing
my favourite view of this world


  As he died, he will return to die in me again
weaving the cloth, giving birth to the century child
who gave his life not for the world but for me
innocence reborn once more


  Heaven queen carry me
away from all pain
all the same take me away
we're dead to the world


  Heaven queen cover me
in all that blue
little boy, such precious joy
is dead to the world


  Heaven queen carry me
away from all the pain
all the same take me away 
we're dead to the world


  We're dead to the world
