Biography:
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

[Verse 1]
Bm B5
An old man by a seashore
G
At the end of day
A D5
Gazes the horizon
A Bm
With seawinds in his face
Bm B5
Tempest-tossed island
G
Seasons all the same
A D5
Anchorage unpainted
A Bm
And a ship without a name
Bm B5 G
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A D5 A Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm B5 G
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A D5 A Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[Chorus]
Bm G D Em Bm
This is for long-forgotten
G D Em Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D Em Bm
Horizon crying
G D Em
The tears he left behind long ago
(repeat intro riff)
[Verse 2]
Bm B5
The albatross is flying
G
Making him daydream
A D5
The time before he became
A Bm
One of the world's unseen
Bm B5
Princess in the tower
G
Children in the fields
A D5
Life gave him it all:
A Bm
An island of the universe
[Verse 3]
Bm B5
Now his love's a memory
G
A ghost in the fog
A D5
He sets the sails one last time
A Bm
Saying farewell to the world
Bm B5
Anchor to the water
G
Seabed far below
A D5
Grass still in his feet
A Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
[Chorus]
Bm G D Em Bm
This is for long-forgotten
G D Em Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D Em Bm
Horizon crying
G D Em
The tears he left behind long ago
[Instrumental]
