Nightwish - The Riddler Lyrics
Riddler, Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the winds
Whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins
Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound
If tale aren't just for children to see
That it's peace is sleep walks with me
As you wish
For kingdom come
The one to know all the answers
You think you dwell in wisdom's sea
Still, sweet ignorance is the key
To a poet's paradise
Riddler, Riddler ask me why
All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
Hold theait children's hands for a while
Their hearts forever... yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life
What's the use to be born and then die
Make me guess who's the one
Behind the mask of Father and Son
[Repeat chorus]
For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by the hands of where's and why's
But by the Ocean's minds
[Repeat chorus]

Nightwish The Riddler Comments
My favorite Nightwish song, damn shame they never played it live
Shingeki no kyojin 🤔🤔
Love it
2:03 "hope the children sex for a while"
Song shreds
Song shreds
My heart rate surely rises.
Did they ever play this masterpiece live?
ARGHHHHHHHHHH PARADISE ITS WHERE HER VOICE BELONGS
no change in members
i can't wait next album, second slbum with a new singer is always the best <3
"Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round?"
Everyone knows it's round. Scientists said so. How dare Nightwish question my faith in Science? They need to get out of Youtube! We need a ban-quisition NOW!
Hahaha the intro sounds like Shingeki no Kyojin theme
Tarja's voice is damn beatiful
So why do people make fun of this group? I always liked it and it's one of the few rock groups where the singer can actually sing.
Voldemort liked it

Most underrated nightwish's song
Edward Nygma's favorite song.
С 2001 года любимая композия Найтвиш!
Una mierda los 23 que pusieron el dedo pa abajo
I've somehow missed this and i've been a nightwish fan for freaking years now!!
Like si vienes del prosor
Best nightwish song ever
A Tribute about the Riddler brought me here😁 ?
Riddler, Riddler ask me why 🤘
Mateus Dos Santos All the mothers beneath the earth and sky🤘
Best son ever
One of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.
I had nearly forgotten about this song. Only reason for remembering was because I was watching "Batman Forever".
My favorite song of Nightwish!
meu sonho escutar essa música na voz da Floor <3
Amada tarja! Flz 18!
UNBAN PROSOR !!
its flat
I'd be so happy to see Floor do this on their 2018 tour.
One of the GREATEST from 'Nightwish'! THX!!
Tarja 4ever
Unbelievable. Listening to it non stop
Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!
OMG I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD IT
Apsolute fav by this magnificent band
The best Nightwish album ... without a doubt ...
For nature hates virginity...
Francesco D'Arcangeli I wish to be touched 😄
excelente canción
hola perrito encontre su comen
Ladies and gentleman ... the worst band in the world.
Hahaaha!
I love your joke.
BITCH WHAT!!!???
The most beautiful song of nightwish ! It's my favorite !
ευμορφο!
this transport me to another place...
Asking the real questions right there!
The beauty of her voice is beyond this world.
Thats why the background is space! Lol
AGAIN AND AGAIN !!!!!
"Ocean born" best Symphonic metal album.
Yes...totally agree !
It was not symphonic yet.
Its power metal and you can ask Tuomas about that. His biggest influence at that time was Stratovarius.
HAD to label it, right?
damn...
I think the best one is Imaginearum, but Oceanborn is third place. (Second is Dark Passion Play)
Unas de las mejores músicas de nigtwish!! <3
One of my favourites by Nightwish. Love it.
Mine too
anotha1
The best Nightwish album EVER!
Anyone else think that what I'm guessing is the refrain of this song sounds very similar to the main part of the "Attack on Titan" theme???
And the crowd goes YEAGEEEAAARRR!!!
When I was listening to Guren no yumiya first, I thought the same but switched.
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out. Was not disappointed.
I think the album Guren no Yumiya came from was inspired by similar symphonic metal bands, like Epica! So it sounds a bit similar
falta 3 anos pra essa canção ter 20 anos.. o loko.
epic times of Nightwish :3
esta cancion esta una puteria
loppuuks tuo ihana ulina, vai pitääks työntää kurkun täytee munaa? Oi Tarja Murunen.....;)
Why i can't find the live version of this song anywhere? Damn!
моя юность)
WhoaaaH! These were the days when all its alright! The music is the best: sound was great, ideas was new, band was very tight and the best part of all: the female voice is great of all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Endlich ist das Lied mal wieder auf YouTube! Ich habe es lange nicht mehr gehört. Einfach wundervoll!
Nightwish with Tarja cannot be topped, but Tuomas is the key element of the band as he is a genius musician and song writer.
@Erik Hammer I disagree, while Tarja was unique in her own way, I find Floor to be more flexible in many ways. Tarja has a unique voice but it's kind repetitive, Floor offers variety that keeps your interest and more than that she has a really great pronounciation, it might not seem much but Tarja's operatic style makes it sometime difficult to understand the lyrics.
Byron Arnaoutoglou Eh, I prefer Annette.
favorite nightwish song EVER!
@PerroFuztán THE BEST!! I'm on my third play lol.
Weird story... So I had this song cranked MAX (like Really fuckin loud) yesterday. The moment she said "You think you swim in wisdom's sea, Still sweet ignorance is the key..." my RABBIT ran across the entire room (in spite of sore feet), climbed over a pile of books a foot tall and sat right in front of the screen for the whole song! (INCHES away.) I listen to everything from Ravi Shankar and Vivaldi to Led Zeppelin and Metallica in this room, The Riddler is the only song he's ever moved for!
+PerroFuztán the best ! is fucking amazing !
Anon Nymous I wouldn't move for those others either tbh :'-) such lame and monotone sound in it
me too!!
Amazing
Melhor musica do nightwish na minha opnião, nightwish para sempre
Oceanborn <3
This album and this band must be a favorite of drummers to play along with because Jukka's beats are just so skillful.
best nightwish song ever, love it.
Awesome song! But why so little views??
killahertz1981 people don’t know real music
muy buena cancion
Awesome lyrics. This is y favorite Nightwish song.
