Williwaw (A Musical Tribute to Nightwish) Lyrics


Dark, black sky

Fear the williwaw

Waves run high

Fight the merman’s maw

Looming clouds

Fear the williwaw

Seamen’s shrouds

Hide from heaven’s saw

Cold, wild wind

Fear the williwaw

Torn and skinned

Freeze in fear and awe

If you feel a sudden rise in temperature

Then beware

Might be due to a williwaw

If you cruise all along a mountain coast

You should fear a sudden blast into Neptune’s maw

Hey seamen

Will you dare to sail ahead

Past Cape Horn

Sheer fright of the williwaw

Hey sailors

Won’t you pray for merman’s grace

Keep the faith

Otherwise you will feel his claw

Cold erratic, katabatic

Violent and devastating

Gust of falling wind

See the deadly cloud

Touching down the sea

Lashes it to a wild sintflood

Hear the elvengust

Crashing on the sea

Mixing it with you sailor’s blood

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch

To a touch of a cold wet grave

Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance

To survive this wave

Dark, black sky

Fear the williwaw

Waves run high

Fight the merman’s maw

Looming clouds

Fear the williwaw

Seamen’s shrouds

Hide from heaven’s saw

In cold fangs

In the fangs of the williwaw

You might hear a screech of your ship itself

Hey seamen

Will you sail into the maw

Of this beast

Broke out, out of hell itself

Cold erratic, katabatic

Violent and devastating

Gust of heavens rage

See the deadly cloud

Touching down the sea

Lashes it to a wild sintflood

Hear the elvengust

Crashing on the sea

Mixing it with you sailor’s blood

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch

To a touch of a cold wet grave

Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance

To survive this wave

This might may hit your ship out of the sky

Cold, wild wind

Fear the williwaw

Cold, wild wind

Fear the williwaw

Torn and skinned

Freeze in fear and awe

See the deadly cloud

Touching down the sea

Lashes it to a wild sintflood

Hear the elvengust

Crashing on the sea

Mixing it with you sailor’s blood

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch

To a touch of a cold wet grave

Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance

To survive this wave

See the deadly cloud

Touching down the sea

Lashes it to a wild sintflood

Hear the elvengust

Crashing on the sea

Mixing it with you sailor’s blood!

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch

To a touch of a cold wet grave

Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance

To survive this wave

This williwaw

Dark, black sky

Fear the williwaw

Waves run high

Fight the merman’s maw

Looming clouds

Fear the williwaw

Seamen’s shrouds

Hide from heaven’s saw
