LYRICS:
These stories given to us all
Are filled with sacrifice and robes of lust
Dissonant choirs and downcast eyes
Selfhood of a condescending ape
Behold the crown of a heavenly spy
Forged in blood of those who defy
Kiss the ring, praise and sing
He loves you dwelling in fear and sin
Fear is a choice you embrace
Your only truth
Tribal poetry
Witchcraft filling your void
Lust for fantasy
Male necrocracy
Every child worthy of a better tale
Pick your author from à la carte fantasy
Filled with suffering and slavery
You live only for the days to come
Shoveling trash of the upper caste
Smiling mouth in a rotting head
Sucking dry the teat of the scared
A storytelling breed we are
A starving crew with show-off toys
Fear is a choice you embrace
From words into war of the worlds
This one we forsake with scorn
From lies the strength of our love
Mother’s milk laced with poison for this newborn
Wake up child, I have a story to tell
Once upon a time

Drummer is a beast.
Hello Angke
Kaitsu rules!
2:58 to 3:14 I love the way that Floor's voice goes from beastly/angry (including the wide open eyes contrasted to dark makeup) to an angelic "fear is a choice you embrace". What a show!
Tuomas headbanging is brutal!
Iván Carrillo
How does he not hurt his neck!!!
@@ravenwda007 And how does he even still play while doing that? I have no idea! :DD I love it in any case!
@@TimeturnerJ he headbangs to musics rythm
@@ravenwda007 I think he's a robot
1:11
I love how in 5:18 Troy, Emppu and Tuomas start headbanging in the same time :D
I cannot express how glad i am that this song got captured on film at least once before Marco decided to leave the music industry. Though I respect his decision, this is one of the songs that he played such a pivitol role in and desverved to be captured live!!!
Why do we pay a huge chunk of merch revenue to a company in a country where our music is forbidden.. yup, 100% respect his thinking and reasons to step away from "the business".
"Fear is a choice you embrace", wow, what a powerful song, what an amazingly powerful performance!
In this day and age "Fear is a choice you embrace" is oh so powerful.
Damn this band just keeps getting better and better and Stronger and Stronger!!! Floor takes the cake on this one. She is so strong and powerful and is like Wonder Woman in this band. She's got the looks, the beauty, the muscles, the voice and the charisma to lead this band to the next level. It's awesome how she has the crowd roaring for more. Love it. A+++
No one does it better:)
And what is most important they finally have a vocalist that has the range to match the ingenuity that is compositions by Tuomas. That is something they sadly have lacked before. Tuomas said in an interview that if Floor ever leaves he will end the band. So he clearly considers her the perfect choice for them.
@@Aquelll I believe it is in the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" where Tuomas admits Floor was at the top of a very short list of singers he even considered as the new vocalist for Nightwish after they split ways with Annet. Considering Floor had at that time only just recovered from a serious burn-out, we're all very lucky that the pieces fell into place. Floor herself has admitted in an interview that they shouldn't have called her a month earlier or she would have said "no" because she wouldn't have been up for it.
@@RudyBleeker He has specifically said it in one of the Finnish language interviews later on.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeees !!!!!!!!!!
Man Floor is 10/10 full dark elf mode
I Have to add that this song shows Floor’s incredible range and power of her voice. And her stage presence...... there is no one like her. She has risen to the top.
Any song that opens with a Richard Dawkins monologue is going to be good!
Indeed, and if you watch The greatest show on Earth (live at tampere) you have a song that both starts and end with Richard Dawkins monoloque :)
@@argantyr5154 And on the Wembley DVD Dawkins even delivers the final lines of The Greatest Show live!
I love how Tuomas and Foor's headbanging are sinchronized!
tuomas playing keyboard like a god and headbanging like a boss
or vice versa :D
She has a very strong voice. Her live performances are always amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God - her eyes at 3:10 during the "show off toys" line - this woman truly is a sorceress. Beware, lest ye fall under her spell! It took me a couple of times through until I realized that Floor sang the "Once upon a time" line. Good Lord, what a range she has - and that much power that low in her range is just incredible.
Tuomas drumming on a synth and Floor singing like Ronnie James... This band is getting stronger again
Yes, a female-Dio! i.e. Goddess:)
THAT's why I like her so much! :D
Yes you are correct! This band keeps getting better and stronger! Floor has taken this band to the extreme next level. A+++
OMG you're right, she kinda sounds like Dio
Yap! The other day I realized the same. She's is the female equivalent of RJD.
HELL YEAH!! Floor a real life warrior princess!
Kuncoro Hadi Wibowo Hell yeah! Who can’t resist?
Princess?! GODDESS!!
Kuch Queen
Fucking awesome song!!!!! This is just pure brilliance. Nightwish is on a level most bands can only dream of.
As much as I love Nightwish's studio recordings, I actual prefer their live performances!
I was in a touring band for well over a decade, and every time we played with a new band I always wanted to get out into the audience to see them live. Between that, and just buying tickets to bands that I loved, I've probably seen a thousand shows! Before I saw Nightwish in concert, believe it or not, I felt 38 Special was the best sounding band I've ever seen. I wasn't even into that genre! When I was young and dumb, it was Metal or nothing! When I saw 38 Special in the mid 80's, when they still had two drummers, and two backup singers, the metal or nothing attitude flew right out the window! lol They were fantastic! After seeing Nightwish, 38 Special became the second best live sounding band I have ever seen! Nightwish kicks ass:)
How old are you now?
@@nickname3380 I'm 49, yes I'm old, but I feel like I'm 25. lol
I've always believed the truest measure of a great band is their live shows. The best musicians are often the best performers as well.
@@brendasnow6024 Hell, I'm 73, and I think Nightwish is the best band out there (after maybe the BBC symphony).
Nightwish is amazing in live. Always.
4:00 that look :O
That look would melt metal.
The look of a Nightwish
Tuomas = Metal's mad scientist
Tuomas - Wizard
Emppu - Elf
Troy - Druid
Kai - Not sure, but his predecessor Jukka was a fucking pirate
Marco - Viking
Floor - Amazon
@@furioussherman7265 How about beast? I think his doing very well on the drums.
@@furioussherman7265 Honestly, here I'd say Berserker.
@@MsMeffie Berserkers were Vikings. That one's already covered.
@@furioussherman7265 I know they were Vikings, but Berserker was a bit more specific, so I guess I tried? (Why, there can always be more than one in the team,you never know.)
Enjoyed nightwish with the previous two... But since Floor, I'm absolutely hooked!!
Headbangin would be difficult without a proper Floor
Same for me, Kevin
I wondered why I had never got into them before, my daughters have always liked them. So I went back to the Tarja period and honestly I can't take her voice seriously.
I'm an addict...I know them since 2020, 56 years and I never felt this kind a music before... in my vains. I'm glad I'm Dutch, otherwise I never heard of NW in my whole life...
Floor was the best thing that could ever happen to Nightwish
Kai is F*ckin drum machine!!!! Iml
The man is part robot! His timing, and consistency is impeccable! What a great addition to this awesome band!
@@brendasnow6024 It was already perfect with Jukka and could not be better but a miracle happened.
his belly is so cute!
That drum line is... Out off the world
My 6 year old loves nightwish...we listen together and so I ask him "whos singing?" him: "Floor" ❤ thats my boy
Parenting done right!
I decided not to have children... But I respect parents who teach their kids to listen to good music
Mine does too :) and he also loves Marco.
My eldest daughter introduced me 18 years ago to Nightwish. I never regret it. Still my no 1 favorite.
Mi Kids sings the songs and the melodies, they love it
Floor and Marco are magnificent in this. I love the way they change things up, both power belting then one still singing but more like a back-up, round and round. 'They play off of each other so well, it's just too good.
I used to be an atheist but now I've come to the conclusion that Floor is a deity!
Amen!!!!
From an anti religion song? :0
@@gargamel1940 irony doth indeed abound...
With the difference that Floor actually exists
@@thelonespecter If we go by Tolkien's On Fairy Stories, the "gods" are repeated exaggerations of actual people. It makes perfect sense, then, that actual people sometimes fit the patterns laid down.
Floor is amazing live!!!
Joe Clark Absolutly. Seen Nightwish plus Floor live about 2 1/2 years ago. Had been stunned. This year I'll see them again.
Yvette Kamm I saw them in March on the Decades tour here in the States. They were phenomenal!!
epic marco hietala!!!!!!
All hail the Queen of Metal: Floor Jansen
such energy !!! One of my favorite songs
Marco sounds amazing here 😍
This performance is a master piece and floor looks epic
This song is epic - and after listening to the live version, I just can't listen to the studio version.
And damn, I'm so pleased to see them going all out, especially Marco. I may be wrong but he really sounds like he can take up that space, and him and Floor are just a match made in heavens.
As another commenter said - god-tier musicians.
Whenever I come to RUclips to listen to nightwish, I always search for live versions. I can't even listen to studio versions after Floor joined xD she makes everything so good!
This is hands down my favorite song from Nightwish!
This song shows just how incredible Floor is. Unbelievable range and tone. One singer comes close. Love her.
WOW!! HOW HAVE i MISSED THIS SONG ALL THESE YEARS!!! That kicked ass!!!
"From Words to War of the Worlds" - that section is just amazing.
Can't agree more, the entire song is spot on, but at that point it just reaches a higher lvl.
Sounds like the band ghost.
I absolutely love the moment before that when all song went tribal. So damn awesome😍
Floor is out of this world
This is my new favorite Nightwish performance and song. I really love the lyrics. A brilliant indictment of organized religion. And then Marko and Floor's voices sound amazing together as always. They both have such expressiveness and subtlety in their technical choices. That's not even getting into all the great things the band is playing.
Wooowwww!!! Awesome!!! Floor is just what Nightwish needed
yes and more yes
I REALLY DO LOVE THIS BAND!!!! 😍😍😍❤❤❤💜💜💜
Man I liked the hell out of that. The both of them are awesome Floor and Marco.
When the world ends, I want this played at it's funereal.
Tuomas must have got high from music :D No explanation to those headbangs
Ginpachi Sensei, I can confirm... it is possible to get high from listening to amazing music! 😃
Could the drums sound any better? Kick ass:)
Somebody tell me what insane eyelashes shes wearing cause HOW havent they been flung off by all the headbanging??
Really good adhesive?
What I love about Nightwish concerts is that they're belting it out at you, Floor is giving it max, and all the people around you know the lyrics and are belting it right back at her. It's a cult thing and I'm glad I'm part of it.
Floor bein majestic AF at 3:55
best version
I'm mad that I didn't find this out until now because this is one of my favourite Nightwish songs: Marco co-wrote it with Tuomas.
Man this is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
MASTERPIECE
Tuomas' playing from 0:51 to 1:03 and his facial expression doing so never ceases to entertain me. Fantastic stuff. The fact that it's followed by some great headbanging is just awesome.
Phenomenal. Floor, Marco, everyone 🙏😍
amazing musicians!
It's impossible not to bang your head to this
Drummer is bad ass!!!
That reaction of Emppu to Marco. 1:04
INSANE!
at wembley marco said, Kai hahto drums. what does that mean?
he saying Kai haito is the one playing drums
What voice. !!
Está hermosa mujer si que siente el metal!! Me encanta floor!!
Adoro la energía de floor, aparte de hermosa su voz puede pasar de lo rasposo a lo angelical 😍😍😍💘 la amo, con su aspecto de guerrera
Fntastic drumming of Kai !!!
The Name itself is awesome. But the song... Oh boy...
What an AMAZING song !
Oh God!
This is breathtaking.
Nightwish: we’re gonna play Weak Fantasy
Kai: don’t think so... let’s have Painkiller by Judas Priest 😂😂😂
Love the idea and concept of this video!!! Lyrics added to the actual concert video!!! AWESOME Job!!! Thank You!!! You couldn't do the whole concert like this could you???
Best of the best ever . 💖💖💖👍👍👍
Freaking amazing!!
May Odin bless you all!
Odin and company was for sure a better tale than the insane crap that is told now.
Perfect ! In lyrics and vibes ! Go ahead Nightwish, you all have a story to tell.....to the world !
This song is amazing!
4:20 Holy moly Marco!!!
Did she just imitate one of those evil looking old jack in the box toys? Awesome performance
AMAZING song and performance!!!
These lyrics are brutal: "Mother's milk laced with poison for this newborn."
Nightwish isn't known for being a band for children :P
Average pop listeners: Lana Del Rey is so underrated.
Floor Jansen:
Man man man wat gaaffff dit
This tune has less views and is way less popular than GLS, Phantom of the Opera, Romanticide and tGSoE. But to be fair, this one seems most organic and energetic to me, with much better team work and distrubution, top notch soundwise, greater dynamics. Deserves more views and comments 🤔🤬🤬🤬🤬 Lead singers voice might be not so powerful as in GLS (or, to be more precise, it is just less promiment on much more active music backstage, than is GLS). Greatest Show on Earth is also great and kinda like similar, but to be fair, this one has more dynamics, and sounds even more metal than tGSoE. Tribal vibe present in both. But in this one it is way more organic and more clever way fitted in - while in tGSoE tribal part comes as a break as a changeover between song parts, here it is just a part during song, sounds much more natural and native sounding.
Tho, might be it not the best performance in 1 particular definition, but if we summarise all, it is superior to GLS, Romanticide , Phantom , and Greatest Show too. Overall level of this song is just top-notch. This song just keeps all the Nightwish definitive scopes, maybe making them tad bit less prominent (which is still pretty much enough to know it is Nightwish) in return making them sounds more powerful and metal. Which is damn good.
I think all the Wacken 2013 songs are stealing the limelight a bit, and that's very understandable because it was such an amazing production in every way. But I agree with you that this performance is way up there with the best Nightwish has done. Definitely one of my favorites.
Where else but a Nightwish show would you get a bouzouki solo? Gotta love Troy!
damn i love how Floor comes closer slowly and with the music it gives me Van Helsing vibe
I love this text
tuomas headbanging to that fan looks dope lol
Floor, Kai, and Troy = Checkmate
Can we all just appreciate how Marco destroys Worlds with his voice :)
I'm so sad I'll never see him live. I still love nightwish and plan to see them live but I wanted so badly to see THIS nightwish
@@ronswasonbutcuter4474 same tho ! i know what you mean. I want to see them live too. Marco had a immense impact on Nightwish and is a incredible musican tbh ^^
Amazing
