I'll leave those here: An angel face smiles to me Under a headline of tragedy That smile used to give me warmth Farewell, no words to say Beside the cross on your grave And those forever burning candles Needed elsewhere To remind us of the shortness of our time Tears laid for them Tears of love, tears of fear Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows Oh, Lord, why The angels fall first? Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ I'll never understand the meaning of the right Ignorance lead me into the light Needed elsewhere To remind us of the shortness of our time Tears laid for them Tears of love, tears of fear Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows Oh, Lord, why The angels fall first? Sing me a song of your beauty Of your kingdom Let the melodies of your harps Caress those whom we still need Yesterday, we shook hands, my friend Today, a moonbeam lightens my path, my guardian Thank you for this beautiful version!
one of my favourite tracks of the older Nightwish songs; the story it tells is just do tragic and universal at the same time. And that guitar.... beautiful. I play the first verses by ear and pretty much gave up at the final part where it drastically changes. Now I have a reason to pick it up again :)
This takes me back down memory lane when a pianist friend played this for me for my vocal exam. Your rendition is simply marvellous. I always enjoy hearing your work.
+G Go thanks so much! There's so much good music in early Nightwish, I definitely want to do more of them! I'm also going to be asking people on my Patreon what they'd like to see next. :)

I'll leave those here:
An angel face smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell, no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord, why
The angels fall first?
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La
Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ
I'll never understand the meaning of the right
Ignorance lead me into the light
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord, why
The angels fall first?
Sing me a song of your beauty
Of your kingdom
Let the melodies of your harps
Caress those whom we still need
Yesterday, we shook hands, my friend
Today, a moonbeam lightens my path, my guardian

+AkairuFuyuNoAme glad you like the song! I think it's under-appreciated!
Composer1992 Much underappreciated, that's for sure :D
Angels Fall First is an underrated album in general. Kinda sad considering it holds several hidden gems.
I must say the same upon both counts.
This takes me back down memory lane when a pianist friend played this for me for my vocal exam. Your rendition is simply marvellous. I always enjoy hearing your work.
+Natalie Scott thanks so much, I am so glad to hear you like what I do! Thanks so much for commenting!
Your piano melts my soul, dude. This song holds a lot of deep meaning and memories for me... beyond beautiful. I want it played at my funeral.
Still one of the most beautiful Nightwish tracks. Fantastic playing like always :)

Does this song have the same chord sequence as Lord of the Rings from Blind Guardian? The intro very much reminds me of that song
Well done! Keep up the good work :) With what microphone and program are you recording?
