    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    It was the night before
    When all through the world
    No words, no dreams
    Then one day
    A writer by a fire
    Imagined all of Gaia
    Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
    A painter on the shore
    Imagined all the world
    Within a snowflake on his palm
    Unframed by poetry
    A canvas of awe
    Planet Earth falling back into the stars
    [Chorus]
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear
    [Verse 2]
    I am the journey
    I am the destination
    I am the home
    The tale that reads you
    A way to taste the night
    The elusive high
    Follow the madness
    Alice you know once did
    Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
    Caress the tales
    And they will dream you real
    A storyteller's game
    Lips that intoxicate
    The core of all life
    Is a limitless chest of tales...
    [Chorus]
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear
    [Post-Chorus]
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    Searching heavens for another earth...
    [Orchestral]
    [Bridge]
    Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
    Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
    Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
    Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
    [Chorus]
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear

    Stop hating on Annette, people. In fact, don't hate on any of the singers. Each one brought their own unique sound to NW and I just don't see what the big deal is and why people are strangling each other through the internet. If you don't like a certain era or album, don't listen to it. Simple.

    She’s the most under-appreciated vocalist, but the two albums she was in are Nightwish’s peak songwriting. This song alone tops the next two albums they have made, with the exceptions of tracks, The Greatest Show on Earth, Endlessness, and Pan. With that said, Anette original’ed Nightwish’s best offerings. :)

    I've been a Nightwish-fan since 2005 and honestly I never understood the hate Annette received. Her heavily pop-influenced style allowed the band to play with other sounds and vibes compared to Tarja's heavy operatic vocals and it forced Tuomas and the rest of the band to up their own game to keep the high quality going on. Also, Annette's voice is just plain nice. It's crisp and clear with good control and range.
    That being said, she does struggle with keeping the volume consistent I feel like.

    Being a metalhead that's not into symphonic metal nor Nightwish (I first listened the with Tarja, didn't like it and decided to forget their existence till now) I really don't understand the whole problem with Annette. Yes, her voice is kind of pop-ish but come on... she is not the first singer in symphonic metal with a pop-ish voice/style (Amaranthe anyone?... and this is from the top of my head). Yes, I can understand the issue for the band about her having problems performing Tarja's catalog but Annette does have a good voice. I just listened Imaginaerum and I do think its a good album which was a surprise for me. She does a really good job on it and have a hard time picturing Tarja or even Floor performing the character as well in songs like Scaretale. Annette's voice and the way she sings on it just suits the song perfectly. Having heard Floor's and Annette's versions of Storytime I kind of like a bit more Annette's. Back again yes, I do think that Floor is way more versatile than Annette as a singer which gives her the ability to give songs so many layers while performing, IMHO the more "simple" approach and voice of Annette serves the song better.

    To me, this is Nightwish in their prime and Anette’s time in the band is probably my favorite era even though that is not a popular opinion to have. She brought such diversity/character and her voice was used in so many ways.
    They are all amazing musicians and hope them to have continued success, but the newer albums with Floor have been very underwhelming to me and I feel they aren’t using her vocally the way I thought. They seem to be going more into the experimental folk direction while Anette’s new solo stuff and Dark Element project actually have more of an edge and power metal vibes like OLD Nightwish (Oceanborn/Wishmaster era).
    It’s all personal preference, but I have always found Anette to be criminally underrated/undervalued.

      Heh.. if you filter out the noise on TH-cam, you will find your opinion to be shared by A LOT of Nightwish fans. The band definitely hit their peak of creativity with Anette in the band, and compared to Floor's two albums with them, they are miles apart. As you say, their albums with Floor is very underwhelming as a whole.

      Chiming in because I just got done defending Anette on a different video. The Floor fanboys are tough to deal with sometimes. But I assume they're probably young/new-to-the-band and haven't taken the time to get to know Tarja and Anette. Floor might technically be the best of the three (she's amazing, really!), but like some of the others have said, Nightwish's latest albums are... *meh* (I know- heresy, but, that's how I feel). Difficult for me to get all the way through Human. :II: Nature in one sitting. I was on the edge of joining the digital concert and after hearing the album, I'm glad I saved my money. Maybe it'll grow on me over time. However it goes, the Floor-only fanboys need to realize there's a whole wonderful back catalog of Nightwish that deserves love and attention as well.

    One thing I love about every era is how good composer Tuomas is (not only talking about the lyrics). It doesn't matter who was singing he made the perfect songs for them. Dark Passion Play had it's ups and downs because it was already writed (for Tarja's voice) but every single one of the singers' voices had their special moments and fits in their albums. I'm a Nightwish fan since day 1 and I love all of the singers that were part of their history (even when Tarja is my favourite singer beside all of this)

    "Storytime"
    It was the night before
    When all through the world
    No words, no dreams
    Then one day
    A writer by a fire
    Imagined all of Gaia
    Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
    A painter on the shore
    Imagined all the world
    Within a snowflake on his palm
    Unframed by poetry
    A canvas of awe
    Planet Earth falling back into the stars
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear
    I am the journey
    I am the destination
    I am the home
    The tale that reads you
    A way to taste the night
    The elusive high
    Follow the madness
    Alice you know once did
    Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
    Caress the tales
    And they will dream you real
    A storyteller's game
    Lips that intoxicate
    The core of all life
    Is a limitless chest of tales...
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
    I am the story that will read you real
    Every memory that you hold dear
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    Searching heavens for another earth...
    I am the voice of Never, Never Land
    The innocence, the dreams of every man
    I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
    A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
    Every chimney, every moonlit sight
