Nightwish
Live to Tell the Tale

[Verse 1]
A single grain can tip the scale
Amidst the burden the scale will prevail
Showing what's worth being here
Storyteller by a hearth of stone
A white little creature purring me
My childhood kingdom gone in time
The islands filling my mind with blue
The one in special, heaven's court

[Pre-Chorus]
All the joy unforgiven by this task

[Chorus]
An errant soul
Homeless and foul
All gone but the will to
Live to tell the tale

[Verse 2]
The days are filled with anxiety
Frustration, one right note a day
Where to find a perfect tune
Just do the work and take a step back

[Pre-Chorus]
All the joy unforgiven by this task
[Chorus]
An errant soul
Homeless and foul
All gone but the will to
Live to tell the tale

[Bridge]
Dark chambers of my mind
Locked around the neck of my love
None of you understand and it doesn't matter
To a broken marionette like me

[Interlude]
An errant soul
Homeless and foul

[Chorus]
An errant soul
Homeless and foul
All gone but the will to
Live to tell the, to tell the tale
