Nightwish – The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics 18 years ago
Cool, never heard that it was his parents. Guess I should search more :)
It actually felt right in the song if it was God saying this to him, even though I'm not someone who actually believes.

Nightwish – The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics 18 years ago
Actually, I think the last 8 lines are actually the following:

----
Be still my son, you're home
Oh, when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end, I will will always love you

The beginning
----

This also makes more sence when you combine it with the previous part. It is God talking to Tuomas (as you know God is a big influence in Tuomas' songs).
