The Riddler Lyrics

Nightwish The Riddler

Riddler, Riddler ask me why
                    The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
                       Ask me whither goes the winds
                 Whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins

                Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round
                  Set a quessing if fantasies are unbound
                  If tale aren't just for children to see
                   That it's peace is sleep walks with me

                                As you wish
                              For kingdom come
                      The one to know all the answers
                    You think you dwell in wisdom's sea
                     Still, sweet ignorance is the key
                            To a poet's paradise
                   Challenge the Riddler and you will see

                        Riddler, Riddler ask me why
                   All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
                  Hold theait children's hands for a while
                   Their hearts forever... yours and mine

                 Make me wonder what's the meaning of life
                   What's the use to be born and then die
                        Make me guess who's the one
                     Behind the mask of Father and Son

                              (Repeat chorus)

                         For nature hates virginity
                            I wish to be touched
                   Not by the hands of where's and why's
                          But by the Ocean's minds

                              (Repeat chorus)
