nightwish- the islander lyric

An old man by a seashore at the end of days
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed silence
And seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore
For the banished one unheard
Alight is the people lying at the end of world
Showing the way
Lighting hope in their hearts
Once in their travels all come from afar

This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago

The albatross is flying
There's hate in their greed
The time before me one day when all was the sea
Princess in the tower
Children in the field
Life giving it all
And all of the universe

Oh, now is as a memory
The ghost in the fog
He sets the sails
And laughs to say farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Sea be far below
Laughing in the heat
And a smile beneath his brow

This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago

So long ago

This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago

So long ago
