Nightwish
Escapist

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Who's there knocking at my window?
The owl and the dead boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying children

[Verse 2]
Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way
To lose myself into a tale
Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn Voyage
Without an end

[Chorus]
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby
[Bridge]
Journey homeward bound
The sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The Tower my sole guide
This is who I am
Escapist, paradise seeker
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

[Pre-Chorus]
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze

[Chorus]
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
[Outro]
A nightingale (Come someone make my heavy heart light)
(Come undone, bring me back to life)
In a golden cage (Come someone make my heavy heart light)
(Come undone, bring me back to life)
