Naiad Lyrics - Act 1 - Tarja Turunen

She hears the distant soft caress 

There in the gloom. 

Colors surround with tenderness 

Guiding her through. 

In the forgotten sweet abyss 

Another sound 

Twilight floating memories 

Always without. 

Gloaming 

There above the surface 

An illusion 

Reaching down for me. 

What lies beneath 

Beyond the ocean's door 

Tranquil is the kiss 

Of the azure rising deep 

Sleeping ever more 

Naiad's mystery 

What lies beneath. 

Guarding their immorality 

Saints in the sand. 

Stranger than beautiful eerie 

An ancient land 

Circle of sixteen turned to stone 

And still they keep 

Shimmering crystal promises 

One space between. 

Gloaming 

There above the surface 

An illusion 

Reaching down for me. 

What lies beneath 

Beyond the ocean's door 

Tranquil is the kiss 

Of the azure rising deep 

Sleeping ever more 

Naiad's mystery 

What lies beneath. 

What lies beneath 

Beyond the ocean's door 

Tranquil is the kiss 

Of the azure rising deep 

Sleeping ever more 

Naiad's mystery 

What lies beneath. 

Breathing the newborn waves. 

Kneeling for the sea she became. 

What lies beneath 

Beyond the ocean's door 

Tranquil is the kiss 

Of the azure rising deep 

Sleeping ever more 

Naiad's mystery 

What lies beneath. 

What lies beneath.
