[Verse 1: Thomas Vikström & Taida Nazraić]
Breathing the night sky all alone
On through the darksome desert I roam
Last of the hidden steps of life
Trembling I cross it — what will I find?
As the lonely shades of you, a descend so crystalline
If I were a soul, I'd speak your name and fly
Never have no spirits been, flowing back to wonder fields
As the starlight and the dewdrops fade away, to be…
[Chorus: Marco Hietala & Choir]
Tuoni, open up
In the eye of wisdom
Tuoni, open up
Under ground and sea
Tuoni, open up
Kingdom of forever!
Tuoni, opеn up
Through the eye of wisdom
Tuoni, opеn up
Tell me, will I see…
Tuoni, open up
Every soul's endeavor?
[Verse 2: Thomas Vikström & Taida Nazraić]
Plains deserted — do I dream?
Woeful island, endless streams
Truth transcending into the flow
Turns to dust the waves I know
In the distance you behold, from the east, a gliding swan
On its face of blue the river veils the dawn
For the past within your chest will no more your heart caress
And encircled by the darkness you now touch the depths…
[Chorus: Marco Hietala & Choir]
Tuoni, open up
In the eye of wisdom
Tuoni, open up
Under ground and sea
Tuoni, open up
Kingdom of forever!
Oh, kingdom forever, yeah!
Tuoni, open up
Through the eye of wisdom
Tuoni, open up
Tell me, will I see…
Tuoni, open up
Every soul's endeavor?
Every soul's endeavor!
