Nightwish - Slaying The Dreamer

I'm a priest
for the poorest
sacrifice
I'm but a raft
in a sea
of sorrow and greed
You bathed
in my wine
Drank from my cup
mocked my rhyme
Your slit
tongues licked
my aching wounds
Put a stake
through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake
for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts
give a name to the pain
Our primr
ose path to hell is growing weed
Put a stake
through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So a wake
for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Blame me
it's me
Coward
a good for nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid living a dream
Romantic only on paper
Tell me why
you took all that was mine
Stay as you lay
don't lead me astray
Tell me why
you took all that was mine
Stay as you lay
don't lead me astray

Wake up
mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life
if you have the heart to die

You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words
played me a fool
Gather your precious
glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired too
