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.

Romanticide Lyrics
Nightwish
Godlove and rest my soul
With this sundown neverending
the feel is gone yet
you ain't gonna see me fail
i am the decadence
of your world
I am an eider covered in oil
happy hunting,you doublefaced carnivore
Tell me why
No heart to cry
Hang me high
The music is dead,
the amen is said
The kiss of faith is what i beg
a loving heart'n soul for sale
Tell me why
No heart to cry
Hang me high
Leave me be
And cease to tell me how to feel
To grieve, to shield myself
from evil
Leave me be
Od of lies is killing me
Romanticide
Till love do me part
See me ruined by my own creations
Leave me be
And cease to tell me how to feel
To grieve, to shield myself
from evil
Leave me be
Od of lies is killing me
Romanticide
Till love do me part
Dead Boy's alive but without sense
I need a near-death experience
Heart once bold
Now turned to stone
Perfection my mesenger from hell
Wine turns to water
Campfires freeze, loveletters burn
Romance is lost
Lord, let me be wrong
in this pain
Temporary pain, eternal shame
To take part in this devil's chess game
Spit on me, let go, get rid of me
And try to survive your stupidity
