Once I had a dream 
And this is it

Once there was a child's dream 
One night the clock struck twelve 
The window open wide 
Once there was a child's heart 
The age I learned to fly 
And took a step outside 

Once I knew all the tales 
It's time to turn back time 
Follow the pale moonlight 
Once I wished for this night 
Faith brought me here 
It's time to cut the rope 
and fly 

Fly to a dream 
Far across the sea 
All the burdens gone 
Open the chest once more 
Dark chest of wonders 
Seen through the eyes 
Of the one with pure heart 
Once so long ago 

The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me 
This night will bring him back to me 

Fly to a dream 
Far across the sea 
All the burdens gone 
Open the chest once more 
Dark chest of wonders 
Seen through the eyes 
Of the one with pure heart 
Once so long ago 

Fly to a dream 
Far across the sea 
All the burdens gone 
Open the chest once more 
Dark chest of wonders 
Seen through the eyes 
Of the one with pure heart 
Once so long ago

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is an awesome start to a new heavier Nightwish album. I've been a fan of nightwish since the start and currently own all their albums and dvd's. Wonderful wonderful prgressive evolution of their style.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Well.. one of my favorities in the album ... The album is really heavier but I like the difference too .. This was started in "Century Child" with songs like "Dead to the world" and "End of all hopes".. and I am glad they continued in that way Nightwish are my music
