Tarja - My Winter Storm Album Lyrics

Ite, Missa Est

[Instrumental]

I Walk Alone

Put all your angels on the edge
Keep all the roses, I'm not dead
I left a thorn under your bed

I'm never gone

Go tell the world I'm still around
I didn't fly, I'm coming down
You are the wind, the only sound

Whisper to my heart
When hope is torn apart
And no one can save you

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Go back to sleep forever more
Far from your fools and lock the door
They're all around and they'll make sure

You don't have to see
What I turned out to be
No one can help you

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Waiting up in heaven
I was never far from you
Spinning down I felt your every move

I walk alone
Every step I take
I walk alone

My winter storm
Holding me awake
It's never gone
When I walk alone

Lost Northern Star


Legend says that when grief overpowers happiness
the northern star loses its light and falls down on earth
where thee become a man.
One person alone can help.


I'm the one who leaves shadows in you room at night:
I'm the reason you're listening enlightening you eyes.
When Pan meets Apollo down with the sin
they will send tears of angels though kindness won't win.

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow,
I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.

Where the calm fields of snow become one with the sky
I am there; I am waiting as time passes by
I set up the weather to suit how you feel
Drop rain down with wishes, build grace out of steel

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow,
I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.

My soul burns.

Sending dream flakes your way.
painting pictures to help you each day.
Yet you don't know I'm there.

Lost northern star
Buried in sorrow,
I'll guard your mind.
Let demons howl outside.

My soul burns.

Seeking For The Reign

[Instrumental]

 

---

The Reign

I see the waves of sand
Big free
Another land
Dreams within dreams
You are alive
They gave me their wings
I spread them wide

I'll move on
to another place
from my memories
unmade
I'll hold on
and my heart will find you there
love will shine free
Forever

Sun flames
And moons glow
Timeless the tides will flow
What will I face what will be mine
Fortune and fate
The other side

The Escape Of The Doll

[Instrumental]

My Little Phoenix

Gracefully she's circling higher.
She has the wind beneath her wings
and looks down on us
She said:
"Robbed of my innocence, had no more time to play.
I sure got my feathers burned, but I'm stronger than the flames".

Here she comes, here she comes.
I've been waiting for so long.
Here she comes
rose again from the flames
my little Phoenix

Eternity is set in her eyes
throwing sparks back at the world that'll never die.
And I think:
"She has robbed of her innocence, had no more time to play.
She's only a little girl, but she stronger than the flames"

Here she comes, here she comes.
I've been waiting for so long.
Here she comes
rose again from the flames
my little Phoenix

Here she comes
I've been waiting for my little Phoenix

You've got to get close to the flame to see what it's made of
You've got to get close to the flame to see what you are made of.

Here she comes, here she comes.
I've been waiting for so long.
Here she comes
rose again from the flames
my little Phoenix

Die Alive

Open up the night.
Led by just a feeling.
All around is light.
Everything is healing.

No more fate ans no more mystery.
Even as time falls away I live my days
every moment and its memory,
not only to survive to die alive.

Overwhelming love,
heaven's just a feeling.
Singing in my blood
keeping me from kneeling.

No more fate ans no more mystery.
Even as time falls away I live my days
every moment and its memory,
not only to survive to die alive.

Die Alive.

No more fate ans no more mystery.
Even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive to die alive.

Boy And The Ghost

The streets are empty
inside it's warm.
his hands are shaking
they locked the door
a voice is calling
asking to get in

all he wanted was a toy
all he needed was a gentle heart
to lead him through the dark
when his dreams are running wild
boy and the ghost
fire's not burning
the lights went out
the lights went out

big family dinner
the untold tale
there eyes are sparkling on his frozen face
angel's calling
asking to get in

all he wanted was a toy
all he needed was a gentle heart
to lead him through the dark
when there's nowhere left to fall
boy and the ghost
his eyes are burning
the lights went out
the dreamy is on.

wake up, wake up:
there's an angel in the snow
look up, look up:
it's a frightened dead boy
with so much hate, such bad dreams.
he could have seen
the toy's the key
but no one saw
no one saw

all he wanted was a toy
all he needed was a bleeding heart
to lead him through the dark
boy and the ghost

Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo.
Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo.

when there's nowhere left to fall.
nowhere to hide
the silence is hurting
inside it's cold
sleep or die
nowhere to go
nowhere to hide
his light went out

Sing For Me

It's getting hard to breathe
Darkness in my head frightens me
There's a little devil in my mouth
Writing ugly words for you to shout
The virgin soul that lived in me
Is raped by insecurity
I need you to sing

Sing for me my love
Sing the right from wrong
Here inside my mind
Truth is hard to find

It's getting too crowded here
All alone and playing with my fear
I don't want this anymore
I've tied myself down to the floor
I need you to sing

Sing for me my love
Sing the right from wrong
Here inside my mind
Truth is hard to find

SONO MIHI
Sing for me

Sing for me my love
Sing...

Sing for me my love
Sing the right from wrong
Here inside my mind
Truth is hard to find

Oásis

Hyvyyden varjo peittää kyyneleen,
löytäneen luo vie askeleen.
Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa.
Toivo jää, tie rakkauteen.
Tie syvään vaupauteen.

[English translation:]

The shadow of goodness covers the tear,
Takes the step to the one found.
Peace may, rock the cradle to sleep.
Hope remains, a way to love.
A way to a deep freedom.

Poison

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison, yeah
I don't want to break these chains
Poison, oh no
Running deep inside my veins,
Burning deep inside my veins
It's poison
I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

Our Great Divide

Dark blue sea, calling me.
Songs of waves, keep me safe.
Sky's so deep, there's no end
the moon still asleep, the bed of stars for me

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
How can I see through your eyes our worlds collide?
Open your heart, to close our great divide.

Distant prayers, carved in stone.
The silent words they will still be heard.

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
How can I see through your eyes our worlds collide?
Open your heart, to close our great divide.

How can I see through your eyes my destiny?
I fall apart.
You bleed for me.
So I just float with the tide through the night I pass you by.
Open my heart, to close our great divide.

Damned And Divine

I won't help if you wait for me.
I'm a slave to the dark.
I Know I'm not saint, you see.
The Dawn is when it starts.

Feel the shadow of my oblivion
hoping mercy would show her face
on the road to your own perdition
in the coal-blackened rain.

Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
My eternal night.

As the wind takes me away from you
before the morning light.
My sins are fading into view
I'm so weary deep inside

Feel the shadow of my oblivion
hoping mercy would show her face
on the road to your own perdition
I may see you again.

Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes.
Damned and divine.
Scars of my broken kisses.
What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
My eternal night.

Every single dawn I die again.

Ciarán's Well

Misty cold nights
You'll hear her sigh
And sing bitter
sweet lullabies

For years she prayed
The saints would cast
a spell for the
forest to let her go

She sings...
She dreams...
She prays...

She sings...
she plays...
she stays...

Ah Ah
Ah Ah

The black old well
Holds ancient tales
And makes all wishes come true
So throw your dream
Into the dark
And Blue will come for you

Minor Heaven

Take my longings and believe them.
Light a candle if you know.
I breath love, don't wanna be there.
These are things I got to know:
The magic seem so far don't know who they are.

Let me go Minor Heaven, cause my blood to run.
Leave this place, unforgiven.
Heal me with you sun.
How can I come undone?
Let me know Minor Heaven.

Light a way for me to walk on
from the ashes to the sky.
Burn the thorns so I can hold on.
Trust in me I know I'm right.
I'm know I'm gone too far.
Leave them where they are.

Let me go Minor Heaven, cause my blood to run.
Leave this place, unforgiven.
Heal me with you sun.
How can I come undone?
Let me know Minor Heaven.

Even if nothing I'll become
something I've been for all too long.
Let me go Minor Heaven.

Let me go Minor Heaven, cause my blood to run.
Leave this place, unforgiven.
Heal me with you sun.
How can I come undone?
Let me know Minor Heaven.

Calling Grace

In the dark
Captured in his frozen heart
Colours fade in to grey
She tried so hard
Every word was torn apart
Shot her down with poison darts

Her tears made a swim beneath the sea
She's free

Calling grace
She'll never fall again
Love remains in her

Softly
Her inner voice has learned to speak
Following her dreams

Her tears made a swim beneath the see
She's free

Calling grace
She'll never fall again
Love remains in her

Calling grace
She will rise again
Sacrifice the saints
Still love remains

Enough

[2009 re-release bonus track]

Ego selfish prima donna
Dancing in your poisoned cage
Thinking that your conscience's clearer
If you drink your dreams away

Feed your anger to the devil
In yourself built wishing well
Take a swim in muddy waters
All the dirt will leave a trail

Had enough symphonies of sorrow
Be so brave and weep me away
Masterpiece of treachery

Built a wall and made me crumble
Just because I am in love
Don't you lie, that you kept all
Those are toys that you have got

Smash the mirror of the version
Keep the dagger that you made
Mirror, mirror, is there someone
Who can make your day today

Had enough symphonies of sorrow
Be so brave and weep me away
Had enough symphonies of sorrow
Be so brave and weep me away
Masterpiece of treachery

Kept my thoughts buried in a box
When it's shut, I still kept it locked
You draw a play written with my blood
Went ahead just to feed the lot

Had enough symphonies of sorrow
Be so brave and weep me away
Had enough symphonies of agony
Be so brave and weep me away
Masterpiece of treachery

The Seer

I cut my heart - a gift to you
You leave salt in my wound
You are inside my wall of thoughts
But in yours I'm unknown

My desperation finds a book of heroes gone
Legends tell about a saviour wise and strong
I'm burning at the stake of love, the flames get tall
And in my anguish he's the last resort to call

And suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

Why is it called Elysian Fields
When love builds only grief
All your agony and pain
Stays the same till you see

That destination shows you legends long extinct
Rumours are told about a hero kind and skilled
I'm burning at love's stake and that's the end I feel

But suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

As he longs to speak to me
I realise the reflection while listening
His words mend all my wounds cause he is me
My seer lives inside of me

When suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
My seer is near
There's nothing to fear
My seer is near
My seer is near

Wisdom Of Wind

[2009 re-release bonus track]

Blue skies, rivers of gold
Bring to my heart
The stories of old
I remember the way to begin

Lead by all my grace
And a brave hand of peace
The air will lift us, our hearts a gift as
We feel the release

The breaking of dawn
I see the wind and the breeze
Will carry us home,
Joining us all in unified love

The sweetness of peace
More precious than gold,
The tender compassion
That gives elation as we behold

Break of dawn is coming,
With wisdom, wind and breeze,
Touching on the seas.

So here in our hearts
lay way to our home
Where all find comfort,
Blue skies, rivers of gold

The sweetness of peace
More precious than gold,
The tender compassion
That gives elation as we behold

Break of dawn is coming,
With wisdom, wind and breeze,
Touching on the seas.

So here in our hearts
lay way to our home
Where all find comfort,
Blue skies, rivers of pure gold
