Nightwish-Beauty and the Beast



Remember the first dance we shared?

Recall the night you melted my ugliness away?

The night you left with a kiss so kind

Only a scent of beauty left behind

Ah dear friend I remember the night

The moon and the dreams we shared

Your trembling paw in my hand

Dreaming of that northern land

Touching me with a kiss of a beast

I know my dreams are made of you

Of you and only for you

Your ocean pulls me under

Your voice tears me asunder

Love me before the last petal falls

As a world without a glance

Of the ocean's fair expanse

Such the world would be

If no love did flow in thee

But as my heart is occupied

Your love for me now has to die

Forgive me I need more than you can offer me

Didn't you read the tale

Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?

Don't you know this tale

In which all I ever wanted

I'll never have

For who could ever learn to love a beast?

However cold the wind and rain

I'll be there to ease your pain

However cruel the mirrors of sin

Remember beauty is found within

...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...
