Slaying The Dreamer Lyrics - Century Child - Nightwish

I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice 

I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed 

You bathed in my wine 

Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme 

Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds 

(Put a stake) Through my heart 

And drag me into sunlight 

(So awake) For your greed 

As you're slaying the dreamer 

Swansong, for the Wish of Night 

God it hurts, give a name to the pain 

Our primrose path to hell is growing weed

(Put a stake) Through my heart 

And drag me into sunlight 

(So awake) For your greed 

As you're slaying the dreamer 

Blame me, it's me 

Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat 

Dumb kid, living a dream 

Romantic only on paper 

Tell me why - you took all that was mine 

Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray 

Tell me why - you took all that was mine 

Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray 

Wake up, mow the weed 

You'd be nothing without me 

Take my life if you have the heart

Heart to die 

You bastards tainted my tool 

Raped my words, played me a fool 

Gather your precious glitter and leave me be 

The Great Ones are all dead 

And I'm tired, too 

I truly hate you all
