DISC 1

1. LEAVING YOUR FOR ME (T. TURUNEN & M.KESICI)

(No lyrics available)


2. ETIAINEN (UNRELEASED TRACK)

Pakkasyössä tunturten
Tanssii tulet leiskuen.
Elo ammoin mennyt on
Tunnen sen
Kutsun pohjanneitojen
Yllä Lapin.


3. NIGHTWISH (UNRELEASED TRACK)

Oh, setting Sun,
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose love awaits me in the sky.

A bridal bed awaits us both
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

The voice of nightly winds has awakened me,
Amidst all the grief they embrace me with relief.
Beneath my dreams and wishes
I long for thy caresses.

A bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

"Passed away in silence
The flute from the realm unseen
Empties its heart
Making love to me
With its enchanting melody.
Light of Orion,
Shadow of Andromeda,
Call of the dancing Universe.
Their love I must enter
Before thou can blame my soul
That is peace"


4. THE FOREVER MOMENTS (UNRELEASED TRACK)

The ticktock of time allows me to see
(...) turn to an echo
Any butterfly to a cocoon
A swan to Ugly Duckling, ruling to an ocean

The dead times awake
As I've been call myself to yesterday
A flower has fallen its petals
Out of the petals a cradle I will

My cradle rocks with the waves of time
The time of beauty will never be the same
Oh, little girl, as thou must no leave
Please take me, take me with thee

Now I hear my mother from the deep
Sing me a lullaby of eternal sleep
We've blown, we've played that last to call
As in silence we sing to reborn


5. THE SIREN (LIVE VERSION)

A lady with a violin playing to the seals
Hearken to the sound of calling

Who tied my hands to the wheel?
The zodiac turns over me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate revealed
I hear but how will I see

I tied myself to the wheel
The winds talk to my sails, not me
(Come to me)
Somewhere there my fate revealed
I hear but how will I see


6. KUOLEMA TEKEE TAITEILIJAN (LIVE VERSION)

Kerran vain haaveeni nähdä sain
En pienuutta alla tähtien tuntenut

Kerran sain kehtooni kalterit
Vankina sieltä kirjettä kirjoitan

Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee

Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan

Luojani, luoksesi anna minun tulla siksi miksi lapseni minua luulee

Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois


7. SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION (MEGADETH COVER LIVE)

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Awarring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...


8. CREEK MARY'S BLOOD (ORCHESTRA INSTRUMENTAL SCORE)

Soon I will be here no more
You'll hear the tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears

White man came
Saw the blessed land
We cared, you took
You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood

Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land

Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death

Wandering on Horizon Road...

"I still dream every night
Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
The restless winds over mountaintops
The unspoilt frontier of my kith 'n kin
The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
I still believe
In every night
In every day
I am like the caribou
And you like the wolves that make me stronger
We never owed you anything
Our only debt is one life for our Mother
It was a good day to chant this song
For Her

Our spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end"


9. GHOST LOVE SCORE (INSTRUMENTAL SCORE)

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I`ll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever


10. WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT

Still
Spinning round in my head
How I regret everything that I said
Why did I tell you to go
Saving my pride but losing my soul

I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could I do but to cry

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night

Lost
In the dark and my fears
If only you saw the tracks of my tears
I think I'm losing my mind
Where did you go and what did you find

I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could I do but to cry

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night

Synth solo

I'm here all alone
Still wait by the phone
The hours go by
What else could I do but to cry

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I call and I call
Just to make things right
I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night

Where were you last night
Where were you last night

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night

I beg and I cry
I keep asking why
Where were you last night
Where were you last night

I call and I call
Just to make things right
Have I lost the fight
Where were you last night


11. WHITE NIGHT FANTASY

Enchantress came to me
And said, meet me at the lake tonight

I hunt this song to the white
Through the shroud of snow I saw paradise
Peace, no more lies

Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings

I dream of wolves
With them I run
For me she lengthened the night
I am home
I am in peace

Crestfallen soul
Rest for this night
Love is here
Right here under my wings


12. NEMO (ORCHESTRA VERSION)

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
This life's the last endeavour
To find the missing life line

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

My flower withered between the pages two and three
The one scent forever gloom gone with my steams
What the dark that sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again

Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore

Nemo sailing on
Nemo let it go

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again

Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore


DISC 2

1. LIVE TO TELL THE TALE

(No lyrics available)


2. SLEEPING SUN

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time...

I wish for this night-time...


3. THE WAYFARER

I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt
I discovered the wild
Learning to suck all the experience
Seeing the world through cradle's bars

The wild blessed me with an errant mind
Showing the way for the ultimate lore
I went around the world, beyond the wild
Finding my home from an ocean shore

Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live

Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to go

Dead to the world
Alive for the journey


4. SLEEPWALKER

Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies
Silently the senses
Abandon all defences

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Hold me near you
So close I sear you
Seeing, believing
Dreaming, decieving

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Sleepwalker seducing me
I dare to enter your ecstacy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you're mine to keep

(Sleepwalk with me)

Sleepwalker seducing me


5. ONCE UPON A TROUBADOUR

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two

This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone

Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance

As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure

So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone

Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands

The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice

Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive


6. NIGHTQUEST

Born to the false world the wanderer
Storyteller the pied piper
On a quest for immortality
Gathering a troop to find the fantasy

Lead by a maid queen of the night
Voice of angel such a divine sight
An amazon to fight and cure
This reality with her feline lure

Patriotic to the promised land
Of never-waking dream

Nightquest a quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to make it last
Simply the best way to walk this life
Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind
Enter the realm don't stay awake
The dreams remain they only break
Forget the task enjoy the ride
And follow us into the night

A merry minstrel with his fingers fast
Playing his lute charming every lass
Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye


7. LAGOON

Imagine a perfect beach
Without a mermaid
Imagine a perfect hideaway
Without a time

Ocean Soul

Imagine a perfect Eden
Without a friend without a serpent

Ocean Soul
Lonely Soul

"Feeling lonely and content at the same time,
I believe,
is a rare kind of happiness"

Ocean Soul
Lonely Soul


8. A RETURN TO THE SEA

A star falls down from the darkened sky
Where new worlds born and die
Kingdom Animalia watches its approaching glow
What it means is soon to be known

Beneath the lovely birch honeymakers
Build their nest in peace
On the savannah a lion licks a wounded gnu
To honor this moment even the heavens cease
Giant spiders learn how to swim
With whales they form a united kin

Snakes say hello to the rats on the ground
In the meadows play merrily the fox and the hound

Trilobite & Anymalocharis
The prey and the hunter
Survival of the fittest
Fall of Man

Seadrops foam all empty human skulls
Those on the shores of Atlantis
Darwin's resurrection is witnessed
By turtles he used to play with

Healed and happy She oversees
The Mother
The tyrant's return to the sea


9. SWANHEART (LIVE VERSION)

All those beautiful people
I want to have them all
All those porcelain models
If only I could make them fall

Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above

A wintry eve
Once upon a tale
An Ugly Duckling
Lost in a verse
Of a sparrows carol
Dreaming the stars

Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above

In my world
Love is for poets
Never the famous balcony scene
Just a dying faith
On the heaven's gate

Crystal pond awaits the lorn
Tonight another morn for the lonely one is born


10. DEEP SILENT COMPLETE (LIVE VERSION)

In your creation heaven did decree
That in your arms sweet death should dwell

Deep Silent Complete
Black velvet sea
The sirens are calling for me

Saved my soul thinking "This song`s a lie"
Sand on the shore is so dry

Deep Silent Complete
Black velvet sea
Brave day sinking in endless night

The age will say "This poet lies"
Heaven never touched earthly face
The age will say "This night was ours"
Blessed with the Deep
The Silent the Complete


11. DEAD BOY'S POEM (LIVE VERSION)

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
My loveletter to nobody

Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh...

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry,
The one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"

"Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...


12. CRIMSON TIDE DEEP BLUE SEA (LIVE)

(Instrumental)


13. EN ETSI VALTAA, LOISTOA (T. TURUNEN)

En etsi valtaa, loistoa, en kaipaa kultaakaan
Mä pyydän taivaan valoa ja rauhaa päälle maan
Se joulu suo, mi onnen tuo ja mielet nostaa Luojan luo
Ei valtaa eikä kultaakaan, vaan rauhaa päälle maan

Suo mulle maja rauhaisa ja lasten joulupuu
Jumalan sanan valoa, joss' sieluin kirkastuu
Tuo kotihin, jos pieneenkin, nyt joulujuhla suloisin
Jumala sanan valoa, ja mieltä jaloa

Luo köyhän niinkuin rikkahan saa joulu ihana
Pimeytehen maailman tuo taivaan valoa
Sua halajan, Sua odotan, Sä Herra maan ja taivahan
Nyt köyhän niinkuin rikkaan luo suloinen joulus tuo


14. KUN JOULU ON (T. TURUNEN)

Kun maas' on hanki ja järvet jäässä
Ja silmä sammunut auringon,
Kun pääsky pitkän on matkan päässä
Ja metsä autio lauluton,
Käy lämmin henkäys talvisäässä,
Kun joulu on, kun joulu on

Ei huolta murhetta kenkään muista,
Ei tunnu pakkaset tuikeat,
Vain laulu kaikuvi lasten suista,
Ja silmät riemusta hehkuvat,
Ja liekit loistavat joulupuista,
Kun joulu on, kun joulu on

On äiti laittanut kystä kyllä,
Hän lahjat antaa ja lahjat saa,
Vaan seimi, pahnat ja tähti yllä
Ne silmiin kalleina gangastaa;
Siks mieli hellä on kristityllä,
Kun joulu on, kun joulu on
