Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful Lyrics

Finally the hills are without eyes 
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red 
With their own blood 

They used to love having so much to lose 
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins 

Did you ever hear what I told you 
Did you ever read what I wrote you 
Did you ever listen to what we played 
Did you ever let in what the world said 
Did we get this far just to feel your hate 
Did we play to become only pawns in the game 
How blind can you be, don`t you see 
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting 

Bye bye beautiful 


Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white 
Blindfold for the blind 
Dead siblings walking the dying earth 

Noose around a choking heart 
Eternity torn apart 
Slow toll now the funeral bells 

”I need to die to feel alive” 

Did you ever hear what I told you 
Did you ever read what I wrote you 
Did you ever listen to what we played 
Did you ever let in what the world said 
Did we get this far just to feel your hate 
Did we play to become only pawns in the game 
How blind can you be, don`t you see 
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting 

Bye bye beautiful 

It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower 
But the flower that forsakes the tree 
Someday I`ll learn to love these scars 
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words 

...How blind can you be, don`t you see... 
...that the gambler lost all he does not have... 

Did you ever hear what I told you 
Did you ever read what I wrote you 
Did you ever listen to what we played 
Did you ever let in what the world said 
Did we get this far just to feel your hate 
Did we play to become only pawns in the game 
How blind can you be, don`t you see 
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting 

Bye bye beautiful
