For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion
Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don`t care
Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this unbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain It`ll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves"
"Not a hero unless you die Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
"- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivors` guilt
In us forevermore
15 candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know?"

Review about The Kinslayer Most important | Reviewer: Iron Angel | 4/18/09
The most important thing to notice about the song is that it doesn't take a one-sided stance on the cause of Columbine. It also makes an important, and I feel under-represented, observation of the fact that the boys didn't necessarily start out that way, and they didn't turn into homicidal maniacs on their own.
"Dwell in hypocrisy, "How were we supposed to know?""
Incredibly powerful piece, with an incredibly deep meaning...
Tuomas wrote "The Kinslayer" about the victims of the Columbine High School massacre. 15 candles refers to those killed, there were 15 deaths. 9 boys, the "blue," 4 girls, the "pink," and the 2 perpetrators, the "black."
Kinslayer | Reviewer: Ciara | 9/23/08
This song is about Columbine's high school massacre at 20.04.1999.
15 candles: each one for a dead one. Pink candles for dead girls, blue ones for dead boys, and the black ones for those killers.
It's really sad, how stupid little boys kill other people. They're young, they deserve to live.
I really like this song. It's like most of the nightwish-lyrics. It's really hard to understand the meaning behind the song. What does the 15 candles mean? can somebody tell me zthe meaning of the song?
like all of nightwishes music this is another good song...with meaning. thank god for a band that can right lyrics for a change.
