The fifth track off of Nightwish’s third album.
From a track-by-track explanation from the official website, Tuomas stated about the song:
The biggest tragedies always require two…
Sleep Eden sleep
My fallen son
Slumber in peace
Cease the pain
Life's just in vain
For us to gain
Nothing but all the same
No healing hand
For your disease
Drinking scorn like water
Cascading with my tears
Beneath the candle bed
Two saddened angels - in heaven, in death
Now let us lie
Sad we lived sad we die
Even in your pride
I never blamed you
A mother's love
Is a sacrifice
Together sleeping
Keeping it all
Keeping it all
No sympathy
No eternity
One light for each undeserved tear
Beneath the candle bed
Two souls with everything yet to be said
Two for Tragedy was written by Tuomas Holopainen.
