Nightwish – Bye Bye Beautiful (New Video)

So, this is the second video from Nightwish’s new album “Dark Passion Play.” The band’s leader, Tuomas Holopainen, has given interviews here in Finland for the media, and he made it clear in the interviews that this song is for the former Nightwish singer, Tarja Turunen. Lyrics are pretty interesting. Here’s the video with the lyrics.

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man’s face
Red with their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruinsDid you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?
You chose the long road, but we’ll be waiting

Bye bye, beautiful
Die die, beautiful

Think of those ???
??? for the blinded siblings wanting the dying hearth
Lose around a choking heart eternally torn apart
So toll now the funeral bell

No need to die
to true a lie

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?
You chose the long road, but we’ll be waiting

Bye bye, beautiful
Die die, beautiful
Bye bye, beautiful
Die die, beautiful

It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower
Not the flower that forsakes the tree
Some day I’ll learn to love this dance

How blind can you be, don’t you see?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?
How blind can you be, don’t you see
That the ???

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?
You chose the long road, but we’ll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
Die die, beautiful
Bye bye, beautiful
Die die, die die
