Two For Tragedy Lyrics

Lyric discussion by violetae 

Cover art for Two For Tragedy lyrics by Nightwish

The first time I heard this song I thought it was about a Mother losing a son, and Binni's quote clarifies that.

"My fallen son Slumber in peace Cease the pain Life's just in vain "

The pain of life has ended, and now her dead son can sleep in peace

"A mother's love Is a sacrifice"

Pretty self-explanitory - a mother makes a sacrifice by having children, as her children are so much a part of her that her heart is broken if anything happens to them, and she sacrifices a part of her own life because her children become the center or her universe

"One light for each underserved tear"

Her son shouldn't have died, so her tears are undeserved.

I might have get that completely wrong, but that's what I see in it. This is a really beautiful song, and a great album.
