Nightwish - Gethsemane Lyrics






Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...

You wake up, where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you

Another beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinitely dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise

Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose

[Repeat chorus]

"I knew you never before
I see you never more
But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautiful one
Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"

Without you
The poetry within me is dead

    This is the song I listened to while doing a top speed run after modding my 2007 E420hp to 400hp and 950Nm.
    On a good stretch of highway the test began. Twin-turbo V8 unleashing all of it's fury on the rear wheels. Watching the speedometer climb and the rpms max out, only for the gearbox to shift into the next gear with sniper-like precision.
    Hard on the brakes, slowing down for traffic, heating up those high-performance brembos as you slow down from 260 to 140, only to get back on the gas and continue the top speed run.Speedometer and rpm gauge needles chasing each other as the speed increases.

    And as 4:10 hits, you are nearing top speed... 285, 287, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294kmh (183mph). Engine and turbos screaming as they give it all they've got. 4:45 You are now at top speed! Carguy heaven at it's finest.

  5. S.... H....

    I always come back for 4:11-4:40. Every day.

    Tuomas is a beast on his keyboard in this song! My heart will always belong to Nightwish...32 now and my first song I ever heard was Beauty and the Beast and I was 14 years old. They stole my heart since then.

    W.... P....

    What about Tarja's voice .. ?? No more magic NW without her voice !

  10. n.... a....

  11. L.... N....

    ''Without you, the poetry within me is dead'' it was surely proved true in time.

  64. G.... ....

    Nice... About 20 years after hearing this song for the first time I finally got the meaning of this song xD

    G.... ....

    Yes...it is mystical, poetical and very personal for Tuomas at the same time.

  65. v.... g....

    This song is the great. Masterpiece.

  66. F.... R....

    Comprei na mesmo ano que saiu depois da Rock Brigade dar 10, já tinha os outros, porém parei nesse , virou modinha radinho, um saco, a Tarja pop star e com o mesmo Canto de sempre...nada de novo,,,,e toda aquelas bajulações chatas, nada Evolutivo...voltei a dar atenção pq a Floor é um Mostro e a + completa em escalas dentro do metal, porém a banda Não faz canções como essa e esse disco para ela.. resumindo está na mesma apesar de ter melhorado e saído da Rotina Opera... é como Neymar estivesse jogando no Bangu kkkk

    F.... R....

    FLAMENGO ROCK METAL vc tá errado

    F.... R....

    EU? 90 % DOS VERDADEIROS QUE PEGARAM A ÉPOCA ANOS 90 DELES ACHAM QUE SIM... TARJA É UMA AMY LEE SÓ MÍDIA, ATÉ ESSE ÁLBUM NEM DE METAL GOSTAVA... COMO VC DEVE SER RÁDIO ACHA Q A BANDA É LIGADA A ELA E JUSTAMENTE AO CONTRÁRIO,, VOCAIS IGUAL AO DELA TEM CANTORAS MUITO SUPERIORES,, PORÉM FÃS RÁDIOS NÃO EVOLUEM E SÓ CONHECEM As MESMAs COISAs,,, ESTÁ AQUI UNS VÍDEOS PARA VC SABER QUE ESSAS CANTAM MUITO +... E NÃO SOU EU QUE FALO E SIM REVISTAS ESPECIALIZADAS apresento ás deusas Heidi Parviainen e Melissa Ferlaak

    Monte Das Oliveiras

    Não toque sinos para mim pai
    Mas deixe que esse sofrimento passe por mim
    Não me envie um pastor para curar meu mundo
    Mas o Anjo - o sonho contado
    Rezei mais de três vezes pra você para ver
    O lobo da solidão em mim
    ... Não a minha mas que seja feita a sua (vontade)...

    Você acorda onde é a tumba?
    Virá a Páscoa, entrar em meu quarto?
    O Senhor chora por mim
    Mas minhas lágrimas caem por você

    Outra Bela
    Amada por uma Fera
    Outro conto de sonhos infinitos
    Seus olhos eram meu paraíso
    Seu sorriso fez meu sol nascer

    Me perdoe por não saber o que ganho
    Sozinho neste jardim de dor
    Encantamento tinha ao menos uma verdade:
    Eu choro por ter o que temo perder

    Você acorda onde é a tumba...

    "Eu nunca te conheci antes
    Eu nunca te vi antes
    Mas o amor a dor a esperança Ó linda
    Fizeram você minha até o fim de meus anos"

    Sem você
    A poesia em mim morreu

  70. G.... ....

    first song i ever heard of nightwish, and it was like in heaven

  71. L.... A....

    I miss this Nightwish.2018 version is ok.i don't like the secular stance,missing jukka and tarja.dont really like troy as a member.the magic,music and passion of 2004 is forever gone and it sucks

  72. k.... p....

    i love nightwish

  73. S.... C....

  74. b.... ....

  77. J.... S....

    The magic is between the lines and in the whole song up to final verse. An absolute masterpiece from just 20 years old Tuomas (and band members) ... a mixture of mystical poetry, bible themes and passion ... who can do that with such great music - Tuomas can.

  78. R.... V....

    Nice song! Thanks for uploading! Just noticed that the pitch for this audio was a few notes higher!
