Nightwish专辑《Dark Passion Play》封面乐队介绍Nightwish（夜愿，台湾译名“日暮颂歌”）是一支成立于1996年来自芬兰的剧院金属（美声金属）乐队。乐队大多数歌曲的词由键盘手托马斯·霍洛帕尼所撰写，前任女主唱塔雅·图侖尼的声音使得夜愿扬名国际。在2005年10月塔雅·图伦尼被开除后，他们找到了Anette接任，并且也增加了贝斯手马可·希耶塔拉的声部。夜愿的音乐风格除了剧院金属和新金属，还有其他音乐元素。托马斯曾经形容他们的音乐为“用女声表现的旋律金属” 。2012年10月，乐队主唱Anette Olzon宣布离队，前After Forever主唱Floor Jansen成为乐队的代理主唱。

Nightwish歌曲歌词（注：歌曲由五个部分组成："White Lands Of Empathica"、"Home"、"The Pacific"、"Dark Passion Play"、"Mother And Father""）I. "WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA"The end.The songwriter's dead.The blade fell upon himTaking him to the white landsOf EmpathicaOf InnocenceEmpathicaInnocenceII. "HOME"The dreamer and the winePoet without a rhymeA widowed writer torn apart by chains of hellOne last perfect verseIs still the same old songOh Christ how I hate what I have becomeTake me homeGetaway, runaway, fly awayLead me astray to dreamer's hideawayI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldForgive meI have but two facesOne for the worldOne for GodSave meI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldMy home was there 'n thenThose meadows of heavenAdventure-filled daysOne with every smiling facePlease, no more wordsThoughts from a severed headNo more praiseTell me once my heart goes rightTake me homeGetaway, runaway, fly awayLead me astray to dreamer's hideawayI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldForgive meI have but two facesOne for the worldOne for GodSave meI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldIII. "THE PACIFIC"Sparkle my sceneryWith turquoise waterfallWith beauty underneathThe Ever FreeTuck me in beneath the blueBeneath the pain, beneath the rainGoodnight kiss for a child in timeSwaying blade my lullabyOn the shore we sat and hopedUnder the same pale moonWhose guiding light chose youChose you all" I'm afraid. I'm so afraid.Being raped again, and again, and againI know I will die alone. But loved.You live long enough to hear the sound of guns,long enough to find yourself screaming every night,long enough to see your friends betray you.For years I've been strapped unto this altar.Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for ".IV. "DARK PASSION PLAY"2nd robber to the right of ChristCut in half - infanticideThe world will rejoice todayAs the crows feast on the rotting poetEveryone must bury their ownNo pack to bury the heart of stoneNow he's home in hell, serves him wellSlain by the bell, tolling for his farewellThe morning dawned, upon his altarRemains of the dark passion playPerformed by his friends without shameSpitting on his grave as they cameGetaway, runaway, fly awayLead me astray to dreamer's hideawayI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldForgive meI have but two facesOne for the worldOne for GodSave meI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries moreI cannot die, I, a whore for the cold worldToday, in the year of our Lord 2005,Tuomas was called from the cares of the world. He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.The music he wrote had too long been without silence.He was found naked and dead,With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text."Save meV. "MOTHER & FATHER"Be still, my sonYou're homeOh when did you become so cold?The blade will keep on descendingAll you need is to feel my loveSearch for beauty, find your shoreTry to save them all, bleed no moreYou have such oceans withinIn the endI will always love youThe beginning.
