Songtexte: 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 primrose path to hell is growing weed

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!

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

I truly hate you all!
