About

This song should be understood through the lens of Nightwish as a living organism, directed by Tuomas. The “heart” in this case would be the vocalist – the “heart I once had” is Tarja Turunen.

For the Heart I Once Had Lyrics

Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love goes cold

Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below, the river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow

[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had

Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart

For the child, for the light
For the heart I once had
I will believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be

[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had

Time will not heal a Dead Boy's scars
Time will kill

[Chorus]
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows, because it longs
For the heart I once had
