The Escapist (B-Side)

Nightwish

Who's there knocking at my window?
The owl and the Dead Boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying childrenVirgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way and lose myself into a taleCome hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn Voyage without an endA 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
It all starts with a lullabyJourney homeward bound
A sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The tower, my sole guideThis is who I am
Escapist, paradise seeker
Farewell, now time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all liesA 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
It all starts with a lullaby
