Nightwish débute son histoire en tant que projet acoustique d'un dénommé Tuomas Holopainen qui en avait quelque peu assez de jouer toujours la même chose.
A cette époque c'est son ami Emppu qui s'occupe des guitares sèches et autres.
Mais le bonhomme à rapidement l'idée d'employée une de ses amies, Tarja Turunen, comme chanteuse.
Le trio finlandais commence à écrire des morceaux et pond une démo en décembre 1996.
Cette démo ne sera pas commercialisée mais seulement envoyée à quelques labels et magazines.
En avril 1997, Nightwish entre à nouveau en studio et enregistre sept nouvelles chansons.
Dans ces nouvelles compositions apparaissent des guitares électriques ainsi qu'une batterie assurée par Jukka Nevalainen.
Après avoir enregistré leurs morceaux, Nightwish se voit solicité par Spinefarm's.
Le groupe accepte et signe avec le label.
La même année, la formation publie un premier album de 12 pistes : Angels Fall First en Finlande puis dans le reste de l'Europe en mars 1998.
Le second opus sort alors la même année (1998) sous le nom de Oceanborn.
L'album fait exploser le groupe qui se positionne à la cinquième place des charts finlandais.
Avec une notoriété grandissante, Nightwish s'engage dans une grande tournée finlandaise puis européenne en 1999; entre autre avec le groupe Rage.
Au début de l'année 2000, la formation retourne en studio pour enregistrer son troisième album.
Le nouveau né Wishmaster paraît en mai et s'impose immédiatement en tête des charts finlandais.
Nightwish enchaîne sur une tournée et en tire un live nommé From Wishes To Eternity exclusivement distribué en Finlande.
Marco Hietala rejoint le groupe cette même année 2001 comme bassiste et chanteur.
Le groupe publie ensuite un EP nommé Over The Hills And Far Away pour contenter un public en attente.
En 2002, le groupe est au sommet de sa forme.
Le nouveau line-up se met alors au travaille et publie un nouvel album : Century Child.
L'année suivante Nightwish revient avec un opus live : End Of Innocence.
En 2004 c'est au tour de Once, un album qui rencontre encore une fois un succès sans faille, de voir le jour.

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart
as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom
gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
My name forevermore
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart
as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3

gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forever more
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my eveything
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
My name forevermore
Soon I will be here no more
You'll hear the tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
White man came
Saw the blessed land
We cared, you took
You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
You'll hear the tale
Through my blood
Through my people
And the eagle's cry
The bear within will never lay to rest
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
White man came
Saw the blessed land

You fought, we lost
Not the war but an unfair fight
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood

Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
Our souls will join again the wild
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
Wandering on Horizon Road
Following the trail of tears
Once we were here
Where we have lived since the world began
Since time itself gave us this land
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory
A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be
The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n' loss
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me
Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose
Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep
Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast
Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever
Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Into the blue memory

So I'll bleed forever
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
His pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
He waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
He heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
Back in her arms again he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms again she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
Back in her arms again he'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the sea,
Back in her arms is where he'll be.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
