Tarja
Higher Than Hope
[Verse 1: Tarja Turunen]
Time it took the most of me
And left me with no key
To unlock the chest of remedy
Mother, the pain ain't hurting me
But the love that I feel
When you hold me near

[Pre-Chorus: Tarja Turunen]
The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams
Are left to live through you

[Chorus: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard

[Verse 2: Tarja Turunen]
Passiontide
An angel by my side
But no Christ to end this war
To deliver my soul from the sword
Hope has shown me a scenery
Paradise poetry
With first snow I'll be gone
[Pre-Chorus: Tarja Turunen]
The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams
Are left to live through you (Live through you)

[Chorus: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies

[Spoken: Marc Brueland]
"I just would like to think that
Not why it happened to me
But why was I saved?
What else could I do now?"

[Bridge: Tarja Turunen]
Your death saved me

[Spoken: Marc Brueland]
"Being in the dark about something, I can't even tell you how scary it is
You don't know what's inside, you don't know what's gonna happen to you
And the best way to put somebody at ease is to inform him
Even if it's the grim truth"
[Chorus: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
