Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?

Well... I'm sure most of you know, but I've been listening to a lot of Nightwish lately. And this song: The Islander, is one of my favourites off of their new Album: The Dark Passion Play.
I recently posted up the Lyrics to Bye Bye Beautiful, and I still really like that song, but I recently came across the version of The Islander that didn't have that annyoing announcer guy in it saying "You're listening to the new Night Wish Album, Dark Passion Play, and this track is called 'The Islander' " So I'm gonna post it onto my Profile so you guys can here it too, not like any of you really care enough anyways, lol, but it's there if you want to listen to it. And if you're able to get to tabs open with your browser, here's the lyrics for the song as well so you can sing along with it, lol.

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

How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
