This is their very first song, after which the band is named...
Nightwish (translated by Maria Immortamo)
Oh, setting Sun,
Your red rays make me cry
They remind me of a man,
Whose love awaits me in the sky.
We both await the marriage bed
After I cross the threshold of death.
I must die before my sorrows,
I sent a Nightwish through the starry sky.
I was awakened by the voice of the night winds,
Which soothe me when I am sad.
Tormented by my dreams and desires,
I yearn for your caresses...
We both await the marriage bed
After I cross the threshold of death.
I must die before my sorrows,
I sent a Nightwish through the starry sky.
"Resting in silence...
A flute from an unseen kingdom
Empties its heart,
Giving me love
With its enchanting melody
Light of Orion
Shadow of Andromeda
Call of the dancing Universe
I must love them,
Before they accuse me of something,
This is peace..."

And this, in my opinion, is Nightwish's "anthem" - their song "Nightquest"
(The last verse...)
Nightquest - quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to make it last
Simply the best - way to walk this life
Hand in hand with the dreamers' minds
Enter the realm, don't stay awake
The dreams remain, they only brake
Forget the task, enjoy the ride
And follow us into the night
First ones to guard this path of night
Lady in black, Lady in white
Followed by legions of night-time wanderers
Guardians of the halls of heart
When we from our homeland depart
To challenge the gods of emptiness
May the quest begin...
And the translation is as follows:
Nightquest - a quest not for the past
But to make "tomorrow" last
Simply the best way to live
Hand in hand...
Enter the kingdom, don't wake up
Dreams remain, only stopping
Forget about obligations, enjoy the journey
And follow us into the night
The first to guard this path -
Lady in black and Lady in white
Who were those who wandered in the night
Those who guard the hearts,
When we lose our way home,
Demand the gods of emptiness -
That's when the adventure begins...
Princess of lust Dignity put to dust A virginal sight Their apple to bite Drink from my thighs The rain of lies A sight so cursed Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting from the moon I'll be there for you soon First wish for this night: Let me be your delight Body of a virgin Sold to the Devil's kin Your God is me In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles Their erotic hour my tearless weep Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
[opera solo]
Passion and the Opera (translation by Maria Immortamo)
Princess of passion Honor turned to dust Contemplation of the virgin - Like a forbidden fruit Drink the rain of lies From my hips Such a cursed picture Breasts that have never nursed
Aphrodite for mortals Plays hide and seek in lecherous roles Their hour of pleasure is my tearless cry Their satisfaction is my deep sleep
Naked hooligans reflecting from the moon, I will soon join you First, I want That tonight you admire me Body of a virgin Sold to the devil's kin I am your god In everything you see
Aphrodite for mortals Plays hide and seek in lecherous roles Their hour of pleasure is my tearless cry Their satisfaction is my deep sleep
No, my favorite album is definitely the latest one. Although, it's annoying that in every song, some guy says, "You're listening to Nightwish, the album Dark Passion Play, listen to this song." Or is it just me?

I don't know, I don't know, I don't have that:
The latest album is definitely good, almost every song is enjoyable, but nothing the band has done is better than Wishmaster :p
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
Nightwish is one of my favorite bands. Tarja is simply lovely, I adore her with all my heart :), in my opinion, she has the best voice I've ever heard... Tuomas is... well, let's just say he's something else. I rarely listen to the new album; I prefer their older ones or Tarja's solo work (May Winter Storm)...
I agree with many who have said that Nightwish is an amazing band! For me personally, they only exist with Tarja, and it's a pity that they broke up. What's surprising is that the band has both beautiful ballads and serious metal. And also, the rhythm can change several times within a single song. They are very diverse. There are very pleasant melodies. Well done!!! More than half of the songs deserve attention – they are like hits. And "Winter Storm" should be singled out. The beauty of Tarja's voice makes itself known! Although, not everything on the album is perfect... but still, I like it.
The coolest band... Annette Olzon - amno Turunen rocks! For me, Nightwish is divided into 2 groups: NightWish and Dead Nightwish (with Anna). In the latter, the music is generally cool, but the voice... boo... Whirlwind, will you give me and Maggot a decent album (without you listening to the new Nightwish album))
Annette’s voice is only bad because it’s not like Tarja’s ;) Otherwise, it’s not any worse and sounds great. If they had found a vocalist with an operatic voice who sang even worse than Tarja, then I would understand the criticism directed at her.
Whirlwind, are you going to give Maggot and me a decent album (without any “you are listening to a new Nightwish album”)?
Basically, why would you listen to an album with Annette if you don’t like it in the first place?
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
2 Maggot
The coolest band among all the ones I've listened to, except for Prodigy (because you can't compare them, and Prodigy is awesome).
Annette is better than Tarja.
2 Whirlwind
The music is good, though.

P.S. Has anyone listened to Anette's live album? It's terrible! She ruined Nightwish!
Tarja also sings worse at concerts than usual, but not to that extent...
