When leaves have fallen
And skies turned to grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of the new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
And skies turned to grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of the new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world

What a nice song, very melodic... and she's got a SEXY voice I must say. Could somebody out there suggest similar female vocalists, remaining on this musical genre? Keep in mind, thought, that i'm not really into gothic, so something in between the lines of Evanescence and Within Temptation... anybody? Thanks
Yeah, Nightwish are really brilliant, but there's a large difference between Sharon and Annetes' vocals, so you might not like the sounds. Sirenia are good...but I'm not sure if they're this sort of music genre...you could try them though. Evanescence are one of the most depressing bands in the world, yet I still love them, and at the same time I want to slash my wrists when I listen to them-especially when I listen to "Hello". Anyway, Evanescence are alternative rock, so...
My suggestions: <br />
Within temptation, nightwish, nemesea, sirenia, epica, xandria, evanescence, visions of atlantis.. thats the female voalist bands i like.. the bands with male vocalists i like are more powermetal.. out of them i really like Kamelot, hammerfall, sonata arctica, dragonforce..yeah. kamelot are one of my favorits, kinda has a melodic touch... and by the way... Within Temptation forevah!
