Lyrics

[Part I: From A Dusty Bookshelf] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Part II: All That Great Heart Lying Still] [Verse 1: Floor Jansen] The nightingale is still locked in the cage The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs An old oak sheltering me from the blue Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves [Verse 2: Floor Jansen] Catnap in the ghost town of my heart She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride Raging harlequins, gigantic toys [Pre-Chorus: Floor Jansen] A song of me a song in need Of a courageous symphony A verse of me a verse in need Of a pure heart singing me to peace [Refrain] All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing [Chorus: Marco Hietala & Floor Jansen] All that great heart lying still In silent suffering Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end What is left for encore Is the same old Dead Boy's song Sung in silence [Refrain] All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing [Verse 3: Marco Hietala & Floor Jansen] Oh A midnight flight into Covington Woods A princess and a panther by my side These are Territories I live for Still give my everything to love you more [Pre-Chorus: Floor Jansen] A song of me a song in need Of a courageous symphony A verse of me a verse in need Of a pure heart singing me to peace [Refrain] All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing [Chorus: Marco Hietala & Floor Jansen] Now all that great heart lying still In silent suffering Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end What is left for encore Is the same old Dead Boy's song Sung in silence [Refrain] All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing [Part III: Piano Black] [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1: Floor Jansen] Silent symphony Hollow opus one, two, three [Chorus: Floor Jansen] Sometimes the sky is piano black Piano black over cleansing waters [Verse 2: Floor Jansen] Resting pipes, verse of bore Rusting keys without a door [Chorus: Floor Jansen] Sometimes the within is piano black Piano black over cleansing waters [Instrumental Break] [Refrain: Floor Jansen & Marco Hietala] All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing All that great heart lying Still and slowly dying All that great heart lying Still on an angelwing [Spoken Outro: Floor Jansen & Marco Hietala] Wacken Open Air Let us thank you With you, we have immortalized this special evening And I think that DVD is going to kick ass With an audience like you guys What more can we wish for?
