Nightwish - Angels Fall First Lyrics






An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
beside the cross on your grave
and those forever burning candles

Needed elsewhere
to remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first

Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La
Nor enlightened by lessons of Christ
I'll never understand the meaning of the right
Ignorance lead me into the light

[Repeat chorus]

Sing me a song
of your beauty
of your kingdom
Let the melodies of your harps
caress those whom we still need

Yesterday we shook hands
My friend
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
My guardian

    Some years ago I read an article on "Bluewings" The Finnair in flight magazine, on my way back to the UK from Tornio, about Tarja. I was curious. So I looked her up. I then found Nightwish and was blown away. (Finnair then sent me a copy of this magazine - after I asked them for one-). A Finnish workmate then got me a 4 CD set (not available in the UK) and sent it to me. This CD set stayed in my car for years. I know there have been many singers now since Tarja and Floor Jansen I think is good. But for me Tarja's voice is still NightWish. I love their stuff.

  9. R.... M....

    Tarja tu voz es inigualable eres unica en mi vida no me cansare de escucharte

  10. M.... ....

    "Sing me a song

  19. S.... D....

  30. M.... G....

    It's easy to fall in pride when you look at all these imperfections. Angels are there to serve, help and protect, Save what you can with your hand.

  31. F.... A....

    💔💔😌!!!!!!

  32. M.... K....

    Why did you fall first, Tarja?

  33. E.... N....

    This looks like the song of limbizit behind blue eyes😉at the beginning...

    E.... N....

    the song is from the band The who

  34. n.... n....

    This was invented 22 years ago now 2018 !!! I was only 2 when these legends were creating magical songs

  35. E.... G....

    dragon ball af

  36. n.... s....

    nightwish tarja is best nightwish.

  37. C.... ....

    Oh how I miss THIS Nightwish. New NW seems like completely different band. And it's not about vocalists. I dont care who sings better, I'm not vocal critic or so.
    But I know for sure their earlier albums have a soul and they're created, that's the accurate word!
    But when they released Once they've reached point of no return. And Tarja didn't save them.
    But without Tarja we wouldn't even have Nightwish, at least as we have it now, read their biography. It wasn't like Tuomas said "Hey guys let's play some power metal with female vocals!", no, what he wanted was acoustic folk project but when he heard Tarja's vocals he has changed his mind and made music more heavy. So her voice was his big inspiration, think about it next time you said "Fl00r is better" (:
    Really why do I even see comments about Floor at this video???

    C.... ....

    I agree completely

    C.... ....

    Notably, Tuomas went back to that style for his solo album Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

  38. J.... S....

    Emppu and acoustic guitar - great !

  39. G.... X....

    God how I love this old Nightwish ♥

  40. L.... S....

    Kiitos Tarja... :'(

  41. P.... ....

    Sounds similar like the intro of behind blue eyes of limp bizkit

    P.... ....

    PrizrakPrime is true
    ..😃

    P.... ....

    Just never again say that Behind Blue Eyes is from Limp Bizkit. Never again, or the slenderman will come for you.

    P.... ....

    behind blue eyes is a The Who song. Limp Bizkit is a cover.

  42. J.... S....

    So beautiful, emotional and legendary...just imagine how young they were when created something so great than this.

  43. T.... P....

    Tarja =D <3

  44. D.... ....

    Bin nur hier, wegen dem Buch "Junkgirl"

  45. A.... A....

    just perfect by the way listing from Syria

  46. E.... B....

    tarja 💓

  47. A.... G....

    This is one of the first NW songs, part of the 1st demo back in 1996/97, together with The Carpenter and Once Upon a Troubadour. Wonderfull to read this history in the official biography of the band.

  48. S.... A....

    beauty song this help me sow much

  49. Y.... A....

    whats the tunning of the guitar? someone knows?

  50. A.... R....

    This really takes me back to some old days... Sad days filled with pain, but yet, i feel nostalgic nonetheless.
    Nightwish marked an era for me, and for that i am very grateful. :)

    A.... R....

    The era of hardcore mmorpging gaming for me. Days in and days out of my younger self.
    Would never change a damn thing!

    A.... R....

    one one my coming of age bands, many fond memories as well :)

  54. M.... C....

    Tarja Turunen is Tarja Turunen !

    M.... C....

    in the end, i recognize her enormous Value.....Nightwish is not the same band anymore... Floor was amazing while singing her songs, but lacked big way, in impressingwhen it came to original material... then i turned to the original songs from Nightiwsh first era...and the magic Tarja and the band could create is really unbeatable...

    M.... C....

    Steve Jobs is Steve Jobs

    M.... C....

    G.... S....

    +Geyson Samarone Glad someone else noticed too. I'm trying to play the song to guitar and this version doesn't work with my tabs.

  69. E.... N....

    this song looks like in the beginning from limbizkit..behind blue eyes... just the rythem.. on the guitar.;)

  70. S.... ....

    Nightwish at their best times....this Album, Oceanborn and Wishmaster are for me Nightwish!!!! EPIC MUSIC!!!!

  71. H.... W....

    Even if I do not really like Nightwish that much, this song is just incredible.

  72. I.... B....

    the last minute is f*cking perfect! Tarja <3

    I.... B....

    @Igor Barbosa Pereira the last five minutes..

  73. S.... W....

    This album was released the day I was born and its my favourite of theirs :) (oh and Tarja is so much better than the other chicks.)

  74. A.... ....

    I used to listen and sing this song in my mind when I didn't know english yet. About 7 years later I'm here to listen it again. All the words sound exactly the same to me but now they are filled with meaning. It's incredible.

    A.... ....

    Goosebumps

    A.... ....

    Lol same thing happened to me

    A.... ....

    Same for me.

  75. j.... ....

    beautiful song...most beautiful...

  76. K.... ....

    why the føck isnt this on spotify

    K.... ....

    Kim Fishe joox

    K.... ....

    It is 😄

  77. L.... S....

    I miss you Tarja. Nightwish will never be the same without you.. 

    L.... S....

    Same here, also November. These guys are just amazing. ♥

    L.... S....

    Yes me too. Early Nightwish was something special.
    Who the fuck cares if Floor can sing better? Music isn't about singing better than everyone! It's about emotions you can feel through it. And early NW is perfect for me and not only for me in that case. If you like new commerical NW, good for you but I'll go with one that has the soul.

    L.... S....

    Karina Zaripova i stand with your answers nightwish are not ordinary bands you have to go through with your emotions to get the momentum same as edenbridge

    L.... S....

    Just like Tarja will never be the same without Nightwish...

    L.... S....

    Unfortunately in her solo career Tarja has not sung metal with classical operatic style, like she did in early Nightwish. In this album too. Since Century Child Tarja has sung metal contemporary style (except oldest Nightwish songs). She keeps her classical singing style reserved for Chritmas songs and classical songs - she does sing parts of her metal songs with classical voice. To me it's sad, because I love most the early Nightwish' operatic singing style metal.

  78. D.... M....

    Does no one else realize that the tone has been either altered or is way off? The first "e" that's played isn't a true "e", the tone is in between "e" and "f" and it sounds horrible to me. I've know how to play this song for a long time but forgot the title of the song now the first video I find has its tone altered? Is seems sped up so that on you for messing with the original recording.

    D.... M....

    @Cozmonaut313 Yeah, but I actually like this version more than the original one :D

    D.... M....

    Trying to sing or play along is a nightmare though. Anyone who's ear trained is cringing.

    D.... M....

    @Cozmonaut313 heard it directly, you're right.

    D.... M....

    Dominick Matthias Krüger Rosario its done this way for copyright reasons. If you change the tone copyright bots cant find this video and flag it

  79. A.... P....

    Великолепная  песня.просто шедевр!!!

  80. S.... A....

    Such an angelic voice :*

  81. Y.... M....

    Nearly 2 years now and not a day goes by I don't think of you. It hasn't gotten any easier without you. I wish I told you how much I love you when I had the chance. I'd need hours to tell you how much I care about you. 

  82. I.... H....

    Rip Rik Mayall and Robin Williams

  83. C.... W....

    Tarja... Beautiful voice

  84. D.... L....

    This video is slightly off. The key is not right

  85. j.... d....

    anielski głos....TARJA................................

  86. T.... D....

    this song leads me to another land, to a faityland !

  87. B.... ....

    You are right. I tried to transcribe it, but could not hit the proper tonation no matter how hard I tried. It is a quarter tone higher than normally - something between e minor and f minor. Tested with the tuning option on my keyboard. :)

  88. S.... .....

    Nightwish me manque :'(

  89. T.... C....

    Yes, a flute player ! This is magical.

  90. I.... ....

    So this one time at band camp...

  91. g.... o....

    Muy linda

  92. D.... ....

    I wish they had a hard version

  93. T.... S....

    lan ne albümdü ya

  94. k.... ....

    To think that Tuomas doesn't like this album. It's amazing.

    k.... ....

    Where did he say that?

  95. A.... ....

    Am I the only one who instantly gets goosebumps when hearing Tarja?

  96. v.... ....

    this is so romantic ^^

  97. P.... H....

    I'm so sorry for your losses, to lose a friend is not easy :''(

  98. R.... ....

    What!?

  99. E.... R....

    I miss flute's sound on Nightwish's music
