Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (2005 version)

The sun is sleeping quietly

Once upon a century

Wistful oceans calm and red

Ardent caresses laid to rest



For my dreams I hold my life

For wishes I behold my nights

A truth at the end of time

Losing faith makes a crime



I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time

The darkness around me - Shores of a solar sea

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping

Weeping

With you



Sorrow has a human heart

From my God it will depart

I'd sail before a thousand moons

Never finding where to go



Two hundred twenty-two days of light

Will be desired by a night

A moment for the poet's play

Until there's nothing left to say



[repeat chorus x2]
