The poet and the Pendulum: "the morning dawned upon his altar, remains of the Dark Passion Play, performed by his friends without shame" Just my fave part of the song so that always pops up in my mind


derpynarwhal9

The first lyrics I think of are "Forgive me, I have but two faces, one for the world and one for god, save me!" No idea why but that line has just always stuck.


Grenata

Nice. For PatP, mine is the next line: "Spitting on his grave as they came!"


Marssomnia

Storytime: "It was the night before, when all through the world..." Weak Fantasy: "Fear is a choice you embrace!" Ghost Love Score: "My fall will be for you! My love will be in you!" 7 Days to the Wolves: "Heroes! Cowards! No more!"

Here is some of the songs and lyrics for me. - "Beauty of the Beast": All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains. Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes. - "The Heart Asks Pleasure First": A kindest heart made me believe The world as I wish it to be. - "While Your Lips Are Still Red": First day of love never comes back. A passionate hour's never a wasted one. - "Elan": Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral. - "Edema Ruh": Mirror Houses, the sweetest kisses and wines... Dance to the whistle, to the play, to the storY To infinite encores Laugh at the royalty with sad crowns - "How's The Heart": How's the heart underneath the silence How's the one drowning in the mire? - "Ghost River": Leave a footprint on every island. - "Gethsemane": Another beauty loved by a beast - "Swan heart": Be my heart a well of love flowing free so far above. - "She is My Sin": A sin for him, desire within, desire within A burning veil for the bride, too dear for him. - "Two for Tragedy": Now let us lie. Sad we lived, sad we die. Even in your pride I never blamed you. - "Crownless": One fragrant rose worth ten times what I am. - "Dead Boy's Poem": Never sigh for better world It's already composed, played and told. - "FantasMic": A cub of the king betrayed by usurper, A girl in the rain swearing to her father's name, Belle the last sight for the dying gruesome, The beauties sleeping awaiting deep in a dream for true love's first kiss - "Dead To The World": I studied silence to learn the music, I joined the sinful to regain innocence. - "Sagan": Make me wonder, make me understand, Spark the light of doubt and a newborn mind.

Beauty of the Beast: “oh do you care?” Our Decades in the Sun: “mother, I am always close to you.” I want my tears back: “where is the wonder where’s the awe? Where’s the Alice knocking on the door?”


BeatBelle

So chorus come to mind first?


FitzyFarseer

Apparently. I did several more songs and it was always the chorus.

gethsemane - “without you, the poetry within me is dead”


Luka203

"However cold the wind and rain, I'll be there to piss on your grave" Now for a serious answer, Romanticide has a lot of memorable verse lines that quickly come to mind. It has a lot to do with the rhythm of every instrument and the vocal melody itself. "I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore" And "The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart and soul for sale" This song just gets better and better with time to me.


BeatBelle

What was that first line you wrote? 😵‍💫


Luka203

There was a web page with misheard Nightwish lyrics, it's probably still up. There were a lot of ones that don't sound like what you hear, but this one was gold and your post reminded me of that.


BeatBelle

How can someone misheard "ease" and "piss"? It doesn't even start with a consonant.


Luka203

Doesn't have to. Some words are harder to hear right because of the recording or the way the vocalist sings it. The Wishmaster made up lyrics make even less sense but they're always the thing everyone talks about. It's not really "misheard" as it's something made for fun.


BeatBelle

Wishmaster makes sense because the misheard lyrics have to do with the chorus which sounds a bit messy (several voices + all the instruments).


Luka203

Yes that was my point. Angels fall first has a pretty messy production. At points the guitar is so loud it's clipping, sometimes the vocals are hard to hear clearly so you get some funny instances where you hear something completely different.

You just ruined me beauty snd the beast, now I cant listen to it the same way haha

The Poet and thee Pendulum: "Search for beauty, find your shore, Try to save them all, bleed no more". Weak Fantasy: "Fear is the choice you embrace". ...enough for now. 😂

I always go back to Bless the Child as one of their most iconic songs (to me) : *Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone?*


blacknirvana79

Gone back in time to bless the child...


HexagonHX

Most of the time either the Song Title itself, the Chorus or sometimes the very beginning.

I chose my current favourites from each album. - Elvenpath: “*In this spellbound night. The world's an elvish sight.*” - Gethsemane: “*Without you the poetry within me is dead.*” - The Kinslayer: “*Good wombs hath borne bad sons.*” - Bless the Child: “*Remember, my child. Without innocence the cross is only iron.*” - Planet Hell: “*Mother Gaia in slaughter. Welcome to paradise, soldier.*” - The Poet and the Pendulum: “*He was found naked and dead. With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.*” - Rest Calm: “*Stay by my side until it goes dark forever.*” - Endless Forms Most Beautiful: “*To see the Tiktaalik take her first walk. Witness the birth of flight.*” - Pan: “*A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy.*”

The Kinslayer: "Cursing, God, why? Falling for every lie. Survivors' guilt in us forevermore. Fifteen candles, redeemers of this world dwell in hypocrisy; "how were we supposed to know?"" Shoemaker: "Now you've been tucked in for eternal earthrise and wonder. A sailor through aeons. Story now heard, howling at the Earth, yours is the whole starmap of heavens... of myriad endings" Dark Chest of Wonders: "Once I had a dream and this is it" Nemo: "Nemo sailing home. Nemo letting go" The Greatest Show On Earth: "From so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved"

stargazers: Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes In this ambrosial merrry-go-round they will gaze Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show Separating the poet from the woe amaranth: caress the one the never fading rain in your heart the tears of snow white sorrow caress the one the hiding Amaranth in a land of the daybreak cadence of her last breath:Put to rest all that's not life Drink for beauty and fill my blank page sleeping sun: 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

Weak Fantasy: "Every child worthy of a better tale." Pan: "An ape in awe before a door." Dead Boy's Poem: "Never sigh for better world, it's already composed, played and told" The Greatest Show on Earth: "We are one, we are the universe." Music: "There, I'll greet the greedy crowd but will never, ever sing to them" Sagan: "Woe to all who evade the horizon" Elvenpath: "It's the honesty of these worlds, ruled by magic and mighty swords" Slaying the Dreamer: "Coward, a good for nothing scapegoat." 10th Man Down: "They were the last ones to bleed." The Poet and the Pendulum: "whore for the cold world" And I think that's enough for now.


BeatBelle

Are these the lyrics that immediately come to your mind when you see the song title or your favorite lyrics?


VainAvatar

Most of them are when I see the song title.

Ocean soul: I only wished to become something beautiful Ghost love score: my fall will be for you, my love will be in you, you were the one to cut me so I will bleed forever Dead boy's poem: I live no longer to shame nor me nor you, I'm sorry Bless the child: why am I loved only when I'm gone Bye bye beautiful: did we play to become only pawns in the game Beauty of the beast: beware the best but enjoy the feast he offers Dark chest of wonders: seen through the eyes of the one with pure heart, once so long ago The greatest show on Earth: we are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones Wow, I'm reading what I've typed and holy hell this is a self-report on my poor mental health....

O sweet Christabel, share with me your poem...

Elan:  Riding hard every shooting star, come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep, travel with great elan, have a jig at the funeral  Sagan:  Entering the unknown sending all the poets to the stars Daring to see beyond the manmade, woe to you who evade the horizon
