Metal Music Blog

Yeah, I know. This is nothing new and you might have seen it thousand times. Anyhow, the video just happens to be simply funny, so I decided to post it in this blog. It is basically a video of Nightwish playing Wishmaster with misheard lyrics.

I have always had problems with understanding the lyrics of Nightwish, especially when sang by Tarja Turunen. It is not only with this band, but also with many other metal bands. For example Rhapsody of Fire’s lyrics are pretty difficult to understand by hearing. Notice that I did not mention any black metal bands. It is simply impossible to understand the lyrics of many black metal bands. And yes, it is difficult to understand the lyrics of many death metal bands as well.

English is not my first language. Therefore I just can’t understand all the words singers pronounce. It is funny to see how some words sound exactly like written in the video below! For example “Disciple!” sounds like understood in the video (”this rifle”) and “Lorien” sounds like “L’Oreal”. Also the original “Distant sigh from a lonely heart” sounds exactly like understood in the video below (”it’s a sign from a lonely harp”).

Here are the original lyrics.

Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster

Elbereth
Lorien

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller’s mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
“I’ll be with you soon, my Shalafi”
Grey Havens my destiny

Master!…

Silvara
Starbreeze

Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
“Meet me at the Inn of Last Home”
Heartborne will find the way!

Master!…

Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming…

Master!…
