Dead Boy's Poem

Dead Boy's Poem

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 for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

"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...

Write about this song...I prefer Anette's version but I love Tarja's too...It's soooo beautiful & that song makes me cry

When I heard this live in London, I have no idea how I didn't cry my eyes out. Maybe it was the shock and then all the screaming me and Steph were doing.

Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told

These are 2 of the most amazing lines ever written. They come into my head a lot.

And then the last 'Dead Boy's' line

And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore...

It's just one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I shouldn't read thoose lyrics again. Now I am crying.
Tuomas is a real maestro!
