Description This is one I have contemplated about for a long time. #39 is Beauty of the Beast, one of my most favorite songs of all time.

I played around for awhile with the concept of nature and how it has two faces (beauty and beast). I thought about how people can they themselves have two faces. I even considered the classical representation of a beauty and her beast. I think Tuomas has the latter in mind, but the way he wrote it I feel as if he twisted in something darker.

The concept I used was not predominately about suicide, but it played a part. She committed suicide, and now her ghost longs to return to her body. "I wish I had one more night to live"

I thought of this concept randomly to be honest. I just realized the connection could be made, and I worked with it. Luckily the stocks I needed presented themselves. This piece isn't like my others in appearance, but I think it fits pretty well into the collection.

My Nightwish Collection

I hope you guys enjoy it!

"Long Lost Love

Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me

Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me

Oh, do you care,
I still feel for you
So aware,
What should be lost is there

I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
My long lost love


One More Night To Live

Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain
A child, dreamy eyed,
Mother's mirror, father's pride

I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become

My home is far but the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love under the black rose
You told I had the eyes of a wolf
Search them and find the 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
I wish I had one more night to live

A saint blessed me, drank me deeply
Spitting out the misery in me
Still a sinner rapes 1000 saints
Sharing the same hell with me

Sanest choice in the insane world:
Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers


Christabel

"Oh, sweet Christabel. Share with me your poem.
For I know now, I'm a puppet on this silent stage show.
I'm but a poet who failed his best play.
A Dead Boy, who failed to write an ending
To each of his poems.""
