Nightwish - Cadence Of Her Last Breath Lyrics






Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live

Save one breath for me!

A loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath.

Why do I miss someone I never met?
with bated breath I lay
Sea winds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me

Save one death for me!

A loner longing for (run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath (run away, run away, run away, run away)

Put to rest all that`s not life
Drink for beauty and fill my blank page.

Sometimes a dream turns into a dream

A loner longing for (run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath

A loner longing for (run away, run away, run away, run away)
The cadence of her last breath (run away, run away, run away, run away)

Nightwish Cadence Of Her Last Breath Comments
  1. D.... E....

    In Memory of My Organ Donor
    Lady Morgan Leigh Judd
    Saturday, November 2nd, 2019

    I breath for the memory of my organ donor and the part of her alive in my body, her kidney that is not dead. Her pancreas died in my body last year and nearly killed me. Other's carry her last breath as her living tomb, on this earth, as she is divided into pieces, and it carves up a human mind, mental.y, like mine.

    Medical science is ARCANE in the 21st Century, not all is bright, nor brilliant with medical science.

    But I am glad to be alive, some times, even in the evil of this ARCANE survival humans have created. I pray some day there will a better way to save lives than to carve up the memory of the dead. I will always be haunted by the spirit of my organ donor, Lady Morgan Leigh Judd, and it is not a bad thing, but neither is it a good thing, I survive as do others.

    Each of us carries our organ donor's last breath, that carry her living organs in our flesh.

    John 15 Verse 13 • King James Version
    “13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man (or woman) lay down his life for his friends.”

    This album is so beautiful, and this song is so awesome. \m/ I think Annette fits so well in this album (and the ending of Pendulum, one of the greatest, most touching pieces of music..). PS. I'm not the biggest of Nightwish fans (sorry!), but this album together with Imaginaerum ==> \m/\m/

  3. C.... Q....

    One of the most beautiful nightwish songs

  4. M.... ....

    I bought the album online and somehow only got the demo version with Marcos Vocals - which is still great - but I am confused and a little sad.

  5. J.... C....

    Me encanta esta canción!

  6. T.... ....

    I gave Anette way too little love after Tarja left. I guess I was living in a delusional "there's only ONE Nightwish vocalist" but after hearing Floor live I gave all their albums a chance and I'm happy I did. Especially this one. Great songs.

  7. L.... P....

    This song deserves more, it is so underrated

  8. F.... ....

    After listening to a few songs , i realize they could work for DMC soundtrack

  9. C.... Q....

    I like how it starts, it reminds me of castlevania

  10. A.... A....

    Una de las mejores canciones.
    LASTIMA Q NO AI VIDEO OFICIAL 😓😭😭

  11. V.... V....

    Absolutely amazing. Especially 02:55.

  12. C.... C....

    Its a shame they took these off spotify

    C.... C....

    CC CC right? this album and showtimestorytime with floor jansen live at wacken were amazing to listen too and they both disappeared. can't even find them on itunes either.

  13. T.... C....

    My God, Annette sounds like an Angel in the studio. I mean I love Floor the most, but I do mostly watch her do "live" performances. It makes me kind of sad Annette doesn't get more love, as I do love her voice.

    T.... C....

    Jim Ward she is my favorite.. she is emotional and diverse.. but still floor is so reliable she never sucks and she is the best live and overall option that is kinda the consensus :P even though anette was so interesting im glad they have a new vocalist. I love seeing bands evolve and change. Approaching differently, exploring new realms.. And i guess in nightwish vocalist changes tuomas' approach a lot so..

    T.... C....

    Thats the thing with her .. Anette is so good in studio versions and that rises the bar for her and when you hear her live you get dissapoined.She never performs live at the same high quality as studio versions like she always is either to emotional or has a cold and cant give it all she always finds an excuse.But yea Imaginarium easy my favorite Nightwish album ever.And with Floor performing it live its even more amazing.

    T.... C....

    She does sound like an angel. And not ONLY in studio. That's the legend toxic Floor fans repeat, in the lack of official good quality live concerts of Anette's era. You can't create a good singer in studio, I doubt you can do it still today, or go ahead make millions!

    T.... C....

    Why all people say the same nonsense,blablabla Annette was good in studio but not in live. Annette was good in live better than Floor in her songs and she was good in some Tarja's songs in her own way, because had a different voice much brighter and no operating. Because there is no official live video with Annette, all people compare her voice with other official live video with Tarja and Floor. I find some from festival,exit Serbia,montraux and Wacken and she is perfect.

  15. S.... ....

    0:08 - the beginning should be clipped off the video

    S.... ....

    and what is that a picture of? its really kool : cultures like that really should exist

    S.... ....

    The intro is the best part.

  16. E.... V....

    one of the best vocals from anette

  17. C.... Y....

    This is for sure the best Nightwish Album out there. Hands down.

  18. G.... P....

    Cabal Online - Siena B2F

  19. A.... P....

    Siena B2F

  20. W.... F....

    It´s a good song.

  21. S.... R....

    one of the highlights of the album for me

  22. n.... 1....

    this song is what got me to night wish. Anette voice is amazing.

  23. g.... ....

    The second 'Save one breath for me' is apparently actually 'Save one death for me'

    g.... ....

    Yep, because the song refers to two people, two loners, one hopeless boyfriend that the girl leaves, and the second a mysterious lover poet, who want to write the ultimate poem, you guessed it... about death.

  24. A.... C....

    10 triggered feminists accuse this song of perpetuating rape culture XD

    A.... C....

    no, that is feminazis ..... feminists are only a problem because they don't do anything about what is ingrained here in Universe 7 : we should go back to Universe 6

    A.... C....

    I don't get it. Is there something I'm missing or is this just a random edgelord comment?

  25. L.... ....

    This has got a very different feeling to it as opposed to when Grimmie was still alive

  26. W.... o....

    They should have kept Marco's vocals on this song, this is good, but demo version was better

  27. C.... E....

    This is the best album I like it

  28. A.... P....

    Been listening to them since their first album and, in my opinion, this is the best album.

    A.... P....

    Hamster Munchies Oceanborn was the first official album, Angels Fall First was a demo album turned studio album

    A.... P....

    wishmaster is my favorite followed by centries child

    A.... P....

    Definitely a tough call, but I think Dark Passion Play and Once are a tie.

    A.... P....

    @Hamster Munchies The second album after Angels fell first is Oceanborn the Wishmaster is their third album.

    A.... P....

    I agree 😍 i love this album

  29. M.... M....

    very nice. I love this album.

  30. H.... ....

    Amazing song!
    But tbh, I like the demo version on the Made In Hong Kong CD more, sang by Marco Hietala. It was...something special I think. But still an amazing song :)

  31. J.... M....

    One of the best songs from the cd. It's amazing

  32. I.... ....

    con ganas

  33. �.... ....

    ¡HELLYEAH! 

  34. m.... ....

    I have been listening to this for all evening, amazing song

  35. A.... ....

    My friend told me about this song. Holy shit is it good. 

  36. D.... G....

    I love this song.

    I'm actually gonna use this as a chapter in my story when my main girl finally dies. I think it would fit the situation beautifully.

    D.... G....

    @***** where do you live?
    Just asking for curiosity :D

    D.... G....

    That's a place I want to visit too! :D

    D.... G....

    @***** Cold, wet and weedy (friends suggestion :D). but there is not to much to see here. only farms and cities. :D

    D.... G....

    +Dan Griffin no spoilers !!!!!

    D.... G....

    Dan Griffin in my story it would be 7 days to the wolves....not for a death but more overall story

  37. N.... ....

    its seven dislikes, keep up with the times bro.

  38. T.... ....

    so beautiful

  39. f.... t....

    amına koyum çok güzel

  40. x.... N....

    Now there's 7 dislikes. Seems like 7 people don't wanna save her life ._.

  41. 3.... ....

    I originally got the idea from i heart radio, when i made Evanescence my personal radio station, I asked it to play music similar to Amy Lee's band and Nightwish was one of the familiar selections. After sampling cadence of her last breath, honestly there are more similarities instead of differences. That's looking at the situation objectively, not as a smart ass! Hey to each his own!

  42. A.... Z....

    Don't you ever compare these two bands again.

  43. F.... I....

    Justo cuando comenzaba a acostumbrarme a la voz de Anette en NW se marcha, todo es culpa del pinche de Tuomas ¬¬

    F.... I....

    Sorry for you.. pero no se compara con Floor y menos con Tarja...

  44. 3.... ....

    reminds me of Evanescence, it has a nice dark gothic classic rock feel to it, killer!

  45. C.... W....

    The lyrics are in the description

  46. C.... W....

    eargazim?

  47. Y.... S....

    the music was the same as the background music of altar of siena b2f ost from cabal online. is the music of cabal online was stolen by this band or what!?

  48. s.... t....

    this music plays in the background of my slasher dreams

  49. M.... M....

    Hermosa cancion!
    Y la voz de Anette! Enamora!

  50. N.... ....

    2:00-2:49 i dont even know whats being said but its an eargazim!!!

  51. K.... ....

    It would definitely be miles better than the usual crap they perform.

  52. K.... ....

    this is 1 of the closest to heavy metal bands i like. the girls can sing their asses off!

  53. S.... ....

    I found myself breathing along at the start ^^'

  54. P.... ....

    It reminds me the better songs of Evanescence a bit...
    Save one breath for me!

  55. M.... W....

    Cabal ost aos2!

  56. L.... k....

    just WAHOU !

  57. K.... ....

    definitely so.

  58. M.... ....

    Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum are just masterpieces!!!!! I would chose them anyday over Century Child and Once (Which are also very good albums)

  59. t.... ....

    love this song

  60. N.... N....

    Something about her gasps gives the song an urgent, frantic atmosphere which makes it even more fitting to the lyrics. And the guitar solo is just fantastic. Such a beautiful song <3

  61. K.... H....

    Ponies brought me here.

  62. P.... ....

    AND i think it's preferable too :-)

  63. M.... ....

    *description

  64. J.... L....

    It's great but still, I think demo version is better than album version...

  65. A.... A....

    And all the poetry in the world finally makes sense to me.

    ^ This <3

  66. j.... ....

    I did enjoy the song...thank you!

  67. J.... ....

    Lol, what lyrics?

  68. S.... L....

    DPP is a shit album but this song is amazing, I like it too much

    S.... L....

  69. C.... F....

    Just listening to this makes me feel like a powerful God :DD

  70. M.... ....

    @TheWatchtower24 Janie's got a gun?

  87. R.... S....

  88. b.... ....

  89. R.... V....
