Nightwish — For the Heart I Once Had

For the Heart I Once Had

Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love goes cold
 
Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below, the river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow
 
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
 
Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
 
For the child, for the light
For the heart I once had
I'll believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be
 
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
 
Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars
Time will kill
 
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
