Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
Bye bye beautiful
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells
"I need to die to feel alive [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/nightwish/bye_bye_beautiful.html ]
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
Bye bye beautiful
Its not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday Ill learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
...How blind can you be, dont you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, dont you see?
You chose the long road but well be waiting
They are so cruel to write this to our queen tarja... :( and they a re so wrong... Tarja has made her life again and made everyone see she doesn´t need them
How cold is the revenge when the songwriter taunts the ex-member by say the following, "the gambler lost all that he does not have. " i believe is the case where tarja started to believe all the press clipping about her unsurpassable skill. However, tuomas is reminding us that it could be miley cyrus as the lead it would still be nightwish.
This lyrics is obviously written for the women that was in the band but left because she was lost in her own world
and this is true she left the band so they wrote this song for her
