Perfume of the Timeless Songtext
von 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 deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost

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

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 deathbed

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 deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost

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 deathbed

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 deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost

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 deathbed


We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We′re the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs of a million loves
