Amaranth (Single) lyrics by Nightwish

1. Amaranth

Amaranth (Tuomas Holopainen) Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak Reaching, searching for something untouched Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling Caress the one, the Never-Fading Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow Caress the one, the hiding amaranth In a land of the daybreak.

2. Reach (Amaranth Demo Version)

Reach (Amaranth Demo Version) Baptised with a perfect name The doubting one by heart Alone without himself War between him and the day Need someone to blame In the end, little he can do alone You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Reach For hand-held heart through life For the dancer to arrive Reach And catch me before I fall Apart from the wandering pack In this brief flight of time we reach For the ones, whoever dare You believe but what you see You receive but what you give Reach For hand-held heart through life For the dancer to arrive Reach And catch me before I fall Reach For a friend whoever cares For someone whoever dares Reach To catch me when I fall Reaching for the doubting one by heart Hearing voices of the Catch the one who´s falling

3. Eva (Orchestral Version)

4. While Your Lips Are Still Red

While Your Lips Are Still Red (Tuomas Holopainen / Marco Hietala) Sweet little words made for silence Not talk Young heart for love Not heartache Dark hair for catching the wind Not to veil the sight of a cold world Kiss while your lips are still red While he`s still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool Drown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn First day of love never comes back A passionate hour`s never a wasted one The violin, the poet`s hand, Every thawing heart plays your theme with care Kiss while your lips are still red While he`s still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool Brown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

5. Amaranth (Orchestral Version)

6. Eva (Demo Version)

Eva (Tuomas Holopainen) 6:30 winter morn Snow keeps falling, silent dawn A rose by any other name Eva leaves her Swanbrook home A kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own She walks alone but not without her name Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children´s game There´s no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field Mocked by man to depths of shame Little girl with life ahead For a memory of one kind word She would stay among the beasts Time for one more daring dream Before her escape, edenbeam We kill with her own loving heart Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children´s game There´s no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field.
