Lyrics The Riddler - Nightwish

The Riddler

Riddler, Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the winds
Whence the endless tick-tick scream begins
Make me guess if the Earth is flat of round
Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound
If tales aren`t just for children to see
That it`s peace if 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 their 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
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…
For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by the hands of where`s and why`s
But by oceans minds
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…
