• I bought the Century Child album today, and Tuomas Holopainen's lyrics made me very emotional. I heard that after one album the band were very concerned for his wellbeing, and I believe it must have been this album. In his thankyou section in the lyrics booklet he adds "Again, I wish my dearest sympathy & love for every Ocean Soul on this earth" I found that single line in the back of the lyrics book very moving. ---------------------------------------------------- One more night To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say Crying for me was never worth a tear My lonely soul is only filled with fear Long hours of loneliness Between me and the sea Losing emotion Finding devotion Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be - one with the waves Ocean Soul Walking the tideline I hear your name Is angels wispering Something so beautiful it hurts I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music, through my silent devotion -------------------------------------------------------- There is little more I can say about this, apparently this is such a personal song to Tuomas that the band never sing it live. I can see why. The song to me is a silent testament to love unfulfilled and the punishment bourne upon the soul for not fulfilling it. About eternal devotion in a futile existance.
