Dark Chest of Wonders

Recently I got to know a really fucking great finnish band, you've probably already heard of: Nightwish. Actually, I had already listened to a few songs of them in a recent past, did not really care very much about that, unfortunately, till a friend of mine downloaded ALL of the Nightwish Discography for me!!! Wow, that was coool! Thanks, man. :-)


Nightwish is what's called a symphonic metal band, but that's still over dispute! To tell the truth, no one's ever got to an agreement on the issue! It's also said Nightwish plays gothic/power metal... Tuomas Holopainen, the band's keyboards man, once described their music as "melodic heavy metal with a female singer".

Well, I know they sound just awesome, whatever musical style they supposedly (or actually) play! :-)

One of their songs I most fond of is "Dark Chest of Wonders". The song's lyrics follows.

Once I had a dream
And this is it

Once there was a child`s dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child`s heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside

Once I knew all the tales
It`s time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It`s time to cut the rope and fly

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me

Fly to a dream...

Since lately I've been willing to improve my english communicating skills, from now on I'll post some stuff in the aforesaid language. I hope you won't mind me doing that! :P
