@[BAC21:32608] It's actually "timocrats" not "democrats" A timocracy is based on honour and glory of war. Republicracy is the USA's system and covers both Republicans and Democrats. Necro post but I don't care because the hourglass counts down 5 4 3 2 |

| Nightwish – The Crow, The Owl And The Dove Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Correction as Estelindis said and "Wisdom nor pride" and "Beauty nor rest". This song - in fact pretty much the whole album - really gets to me. The music and the lyrics are so beautifully written, with such immense passion and feeling, I can almost imagine Tuomas sitting alone by an attic window weeping as he wrote it - it's deep as hell. I'm only 26, but I get the theme of having lost connection with childhood and just yearning for that innocence. This is so different from anything Nightwish have done before, but at the moment nothing compares to listening to this song in the dark with good headphones and getting that icy chill all through your body. Sure there'll be haters (a la Tarja vs Anette) but this is my favourite album of any artist since the day it came out here and I think it will be for some time to come. Speaking of which though, I don't like how Troy's part just kinda barges in like it does. The song starts off so sweet and slow and builds into these epic melodic semi-choruses and then all of a sudden all that melody disappears into a very out of place repetitive chant. I understand it's some form of purification incantation which is sweet, but it just doesn't suit the song. It just interrupts the song for me. Luckily, the rest more than makes up for it :D |

Firstly, i love this song mainly because you can tell by her voice that Tarja was smiling while she was singing this song. It's quite unique and she doesn't sound like this in any other Nightwish song. Please let me know if anyone else thought along these tracks though: Almost each line in the song adds up into the overall theme of a unfaithfulness. Through the shroud of snow (the relationship) i saw paradise (the enchantress) Running with wolves refers to the lust for adventure and in this case straying from a partner. The chorus and the part about lengthening the night seems to allude to the feeling of false security lying in someone else's arms. Maybe Im just taking everything metaphorically nowadays haha |
