The Greatest Show On Earth (instrumental)歌词
The Greatest Show On Earth -Nightwish
Written by ：Tuomas Holopainen/Marco Hietala
Archaean horizon
The first sunrise
On a pristine gaea
Opus perfectum
Somewhere there us sleeping
After sleeping through a hundred
Million centuries we have
Finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet
Sparkling with color bountiful with life
Within decades we must close our eyes again
Isn't it a noble and enlightened
Way of spending our brief time
In the sun to work at understanding
The universe and how we have come to wake up in it
The cosmic law of gravity
Pulled the newborns around a fire
A careless cold infinity in every vast direction
Lonely farer in the goldilocks zone
She has a tale to tell
From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast
Enter luca
The tapestry of chemistry
There's a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass
Writing the tale of us all
A day to day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
Ion channels welcoming the outside world
To the stuff of stars
Bedding the tree of a biological holy
Enter life
The tapestry of chemistry
There's a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass
Writing the tale of us all
A day to day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
We are here to care for the garden
The wonder of birth
Of every form most beautiful
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass writing the tale of us all
A day to day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
After a billion years
The show is still here
Not a single one of your fathers died young
The handy travelers
Out of Africa
Little Lucy of the afar
Gave birth to fantasy
To idolatry
To self destructive weaponry
Enter the god of gaps
Deep within the past
Atavistic dread of the hunted
Enter ionia the cradle of thought
The architecture of understanding
The human lust to feel so exceptional
To rule the earth
Hunger for shiny rocks
For giant mushroom clouds
The will to do just as you'd be done by
Enter history the grand finale
Enter ratkind
Man he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
Man he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
Man he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
We were here
We were here
We were here
We were here
We are going to die and that makes us
The lucky ones most people are never
Going to die because they are never
Going to be born the potential people
Who could have been here in my place
But who will in fact never see
The light of day outnumber the sand
Grains of sahara certainly those
Unborn ghosts include greater poets
Than Keats scientists greater than Newton
We know this because the set of possible
People allowed by our DNA so massively
Exceeds the set of actual people
In the teeth of those stupefying
Odds it is you and I in our ordinariness
That are here we privileged few
Who won the lottery of birth against all odds
How dare we whine at our
Inevitable return to that prior
State from which the vast majority have never stirred
There is grandeur in this view of life
With its several powers
Having been originally breathed
Into a few forms or into one
And that whilst this planet
Has gone cycling on according
To the fixed law of gravity
From so simple a beginning
Endless forms most beautiful
And most wonderful have been
And are being evolved
