This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
On the legs of lightning,
the storm rears in defeat.
Rising in vain once more with the sea.
Grey hand's reaching, cold under the swell.
Withered in the forge of our unbelief.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
Uncrusaders, heretics to all faith.
No slavery beyond death!
Every idol will feel our scourge.
They can't hold us in this life.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead.
The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head.
All gods want, all gods need. Their sacrifices must bleed.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
the storm rears in defeat.
Rising in vain once more with the sea.
Grey hand's reaching, cold under the swell.
Withered in the forge of our unbelief.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
Uncrusaders, heretics to all faith.
No slavery beyond death!
Every idol will feel our scourge.
They can't hold us in this life.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead.
The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head.
All gods want, all gods need. Their sacrifices must bleed.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
Really if you look at it, it's the atheist anthem. "All gods breed, all gods die their sacrifices must bleed". Simply put, about human selfishness and they shall pay in the end...
Excellent song! and I am privileged to have met Marco and shaked his hand and talked to him on the 2 Nightwish concerts i've been to this year, truley this man is an incredible musician!
While at first it sounds like an atheist anthem it really isn't. The line; "The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead. The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head." is in reference to Jesus death on the stake. Marco and the guys aren't proclaimed atheists but its very possible they want nothing to do with religion. Maybe this song is talking about that.
I truely hope i will get chance to see tarot live soon! been looking forward for that long time, really awesome music! about lyrics, i believe that it's basically denying religions, they want "sacrifices" and i think part "The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead. The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head" is mostly striking down religions cause they will make us for even dying, my option of course, but in live-dvd "Undead Indeed", before this he says, "-blabla about temperature of room-But it's not even nearly as hot, as pyre where we throw all those useless gods"
I have to agree with those, who consider this song to be atheistic one. Unfortunatelly, because Tarot've got some really cool songs.
Well... this was the first Tarot
s song that I
ve heard, and from that day I still believe that Tarot its the BEST band I EVER heard!!( and of course...Marco Hietala is my idol).What else can I say?I love this band and can
t live without it.Can it be about that religion is just bulshit
