Text: Tarja Turunen. Boy And The Ghost.

the streets are empty
Inside it's warm
His hands are shaking
They locked the door

A voice is calling
Asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When his dreams are running wild

Boy and the ghost

Fire's not burning
The lights went out
The lights went out

Big family dinner
The untold pain
Their eyes are sparkling
On his frozen face

Angels calling
Asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When there's nowhere left to fall

Boy and the ghost


His eyes are burning
The lights went out
The dream is on

Wake up, wake up
There's an angel in the snow
Look up, look up
It's a frightened dead boy

With so much hate
Such bad dreams
He could have seen
The toy's the key
But no one saw

No one saw

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a beating heart
To lead him through the dark
Boy and the ghost

When there's nowhere left to fall
Nowhere to hide
The silence is 'hurting'
Inside it's cold
Sleep or die
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide

His light went out
