perfume of the timeless

Nightwish

Something from the earth came
Something for the world
Mosaic of broken fragile pieces
Tesserae of the deceased
Born to a novel world

Endless chain unbroken
Silent clocks rewinding
My song it is for mankind
Embers to the stars

We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a death bed
Time set
For a curious ghost

Lives lived plain and epic
Of eudaemonia
12 score and 1 chain of lives unending
Welcoming as my offspring
Walks me to the weave
