Well, I think there a four ghosts dancing around him and one ghost near the lighthouse, and there are also five trees at the cliff.

Very TRUE! Ive been saying this forever. I love Tarja very much but Annette also has a wonderful voice. So maybe she isn't a high soprano like Tarja? Who cares. It's a nice change and with Tuomas writing all of the songs they are sure to be awesome no matter who sings.

anette and tarja's nightwish eras are just as good by my books! i love the older stuff, i love tarjas singing! but i love the new album! how can anyone knock songs like Amarath, The Islander, Cadence of her last breath, Poet and the Pendulum just becuase a different woman is singing? its a change for nightwish, and im happy with it! i think if you prefer the old stuff, fine keep listeing to it, but you should judge anette because shes "not" tarja!

Lyrics:
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love's a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
