Nightwish Picture
Nightwish is a Finnish band formed in 1996 in the town of Kitee. The band's leader, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen composes songs that are often classified as either symphonic metalor power metal; their musical style has also been described as a symphonic metal variant, called opera metal. Nevertheless, Nightwishis considered one of the main developers of the symphonic metalgenre, which encompasses similar bands such as Therion, Stratovarius, Epica, Sonata Arcticaand Visions of Atlantis. The band currently consists of Anette Olzon (vocals), Tuomas Holopainen (Keyboards), Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen (Drums), Marco Tapani Hietala (Bass and vocals) and Emppu Vuorinen (Guitars) Although the band achieved prominence in their home country since the release of their first single, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Century Child(2002) and Once(2004), both which had video clips shown on the MTV channel of countries from the American continent, for example. In 2006 the band announced the beginning of their search for a replacement to vocalist Tarja Turunen, who was fired at the end of 2005.

End Of All Hope Lyrics

Nightwish

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow

Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time
The rest is silence
