Nightwish – The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics 17 years ago
"With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text."

For some reason, I picture this smile as a cynical smile, not fake.

Virgin Steele – Arms Of Mercury Lyrics 18 years ago
The Arms Of Mercury refer to the arms of Mercury/Hermes, messanger of the god.
When a mortal died, he would carry their body before the river styx.

So in essance, this song is about the songwriter afraid of death, or more so afraid of what will happen to him after he dies.

"I know the pain that I've caused
I know the Lives that were Lost
In this Dark Time the Eyes deny to wash all this Blood from my Hands...
In the End will we all pay this Price..."

This meaning that he's caused so much pain and suffering to others, that he knows he's going to pay the price for all of it.

Nightwish – Sahara Lyrics 18 years ago
Does this make anyone think of a relationship between Tarja and Tuomas?
The philosopher = Tuomas
The queen = Tarja

"May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields"

He's now without her, may he be under some form of protection
the experiences and places they've been (sand leaves traces)
now turn to Elysian fields. Elysium was a sort of form of Heaven, in christianity.

I'm just trying to find what made Tuomas write this song. It just sounds like some unknown relationship Tarja and him had. Either way, one of my favourite songs on the album. =D

Something tells me this is about making a deal with the devil.

Within Temptation – The Heart Of Everything Lyrics 18 years ago
When I saw Within Temptation live a few days ago, Sharon mentioned how a lot of their lyrics are inspired by movies. She said that this song was inspired by Braveheart.

I love after the first singing of the chorus Sharon's voice mixed in with the music, she's saying "Open Up Your Eyes" and something else. Whatever it is, sounds great. ^^
