Shudder Before the Beautiful - Nightwish

"The deepest solace lies in understanding This ancient unseen stream A shudder before the beautiful" Awake, Oceanborn Behold this force Bring the outside in Explode the self to epiphany The very core of life The soaring high of truth and light The music of this awe Deep silence between the notes Deafens me with endless love This vagrant island Earth A pilgrim shining bright We are shuddering before the beautiful Before the plentiful We, the voyagers Tales from the sea Cathedral of green The very core of life The soaring high of truth and light The music of this awe Deep silence between the notes Deafens me with endless love This vagrant island Earth A pilgrim shining bright We are shuddering before the beautiful Before the plentiful We're the voyagers Hey Wembley, good evening to you! London, Wembley Arena! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Everyone to hear you! The unkown The grand show The choir of the stars Interstellar theatre play The nebulae curtain falls Imagination Evolution A species from the vale Walks in wonder in search of the source of the tale The music of this awe Deep silence between the notes Deafens me with endless love This vagrant island Earth A pilgrim shining bright We are shuddering before the beautiful Before the plentiful We, the voyagers The music of this awe Deep silence between the notes Deafens me with endless love This vagrant island Earth A pilgrim shining bright We are shuddering before the beautiful Before the plentiful We, the voyagers The music of this awe Deep silence between the notes Deafens me with endless love This vagrant island Earth A pilgrim shining bright We are shuddering before the beautiful Before the plentiful We, the voyagers

First, things first And this is how it goes I gotta be ready by the time that you show Come back home, before my heart blows The more I think about it anticipation goes At night when we kiss I like it when we slow down And we pause for a round of applause You're a gift from heaven Forget Santa Clause The more I think about it anticipation goes Before Before you talk Before you walk Before you blink Before you think Even before you take off your coat Allow me to come closer please Before I rub your feet Before you sit Before we rush Before you blush Even before you close the door Can we have our magical kiss It's what I look forward to when I come home to you And your eyes light up the room when you look at me So, Baby it's ok We can go all the way Just promise me you'll stay Stay with me and don't you go away Baby it's ok We can go all the way Just promise me you'll stay Stay with me and don't you go away But before Before you talk Before you walk Before you blink Before you think Even before you take off your coat Allow me to come closer please Before I rub your feet Before you sit Before we rush Before you blush Even before you close the door Can we have our magical kiss Remember those days when you used to say You love me so much and you would stay I believed you in my heart Coz' you my baby You one of a kind I can say When I think about you everyday I feel like I'm in heaven yet again You bring out all the love I ever had You the one I've been waiting for Before you talk Before you walk Before you blink Before you think Even before you take off your coat Allow me to come closer please Before I rub your feet Before you sit Before we rush Before you blush Even before you close the door Can we have our magical kiss Kiss, kiss Magical kiss, kiss, kiss

1.) Four Point Six Archaean horizon The first sunrise On a pristine Gaea Opus perfectum Somewhere there, us sleeping After sleeping through a hundred million centuries We have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet Sparkling with color, bountiful with life Within decades we must close our eyes again Isn't it a noble An enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun To work on understanding the universe And how we have come to wake up in it? 2.) Life The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone She has a tale to tell From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast Enter LUCA The tapestry of chemistry There's a writing in the garden Leading us to the Mother of all We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars Bedding the tree of a biological holy Enter life The tapestry of chemistry There's a writing in the garden Leading us to the Mother of all We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth We are here to care for the garden The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful Every form most beautiful We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth 3.) The Toolmaker After a billion years The show is still here Not a single one of your fathers died young The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar Gave birth to fantasy To idolatry To self-destructive weaponry Enter the god of gaps Deep within the past Atavistic dread of the hunted Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought The architecture of understanding The human lust to feel so exceptional To rule the Earth Hunger for shiny rocks For giant mushroom clouds The will to do just as you'd be done by Enter history, the grand finale Enter Ratkind Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library We were here! We were here! We were here! We were here! 4.) The Understanding We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones Most people are never going to die Because they are never going to be born The potential people who could have been here in my place But who will in fact never see the light of day Outnumber the sand grains of Sahara Certainly those unborn ghosts include Greater poets than Keats Scientists greater than Newton We know this Because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of these stupefying odds It is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here We privileged few Who won the lottery of birth against all odds How dare we whine at our inevitable return To that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred? 5.) Sea-Worn Driftwood There is grandeur in this view of life With its several powers Having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one And that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on According to the fixed law of gravity From so simple a beginning Endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been And are being, evolved
