The Seer of Hundreds of Seas

Satojen merien näkijä is a Finnish song that Tuomas Holopainen wrote for Johanna Kurkela. NIKO from Nightwish-world Forum translated it, you can read the lyrics below. Can you imagine Anette singing it like me?;=)



The Seer of Hundreds of Seas

A newborn poetess sails on a fantasy ship
in the waves of the underworld
What is this silence which vanishes to the blue?
It’s a peace of the homeless
It lasts only for the time of a falling star
Beautiful, calm

I’ll choose one sea and a strange boat,
which will row me away
The island is waiting for the widow of life,
the seer of hundreds of seas

I get drunk from the magic potion of sea
I become its child
There are only miracles, loneliness and believing faces
My dreams start with theme parks,
sides of spruces and magic winters
Pain drowns for the time of a beautiful song

I’ll choose one...

The bondless chokes to the bowl of beauty,
to the frozen world and to the absence of love
I walked under waves
I drowned my songs
and let others sing them

I chose one sea and a strange boat,
which rowed me away
The island loves the widow of life,
the seer of hundreds of seas
