Stargazers
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom
Child of dew-spangled cobweb, Mother to the Moon
Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant
Theater for the play of life
Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A Planetride for Mother and Child
Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes
In this ambrosial merrry-go-round they will gaze
Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show
Separating the poet from the woe
(Repeat chorus)
Oracle of the Delfian Domine
Witness of Adam's frailty
Seer of the master prophecy
The stellar world her betrothed
Wanderers in cosmic caravan
Universal bond - The Starborn
A son in search for the truth
Following the pages of Almagest
Discovering the origin of dreams
Stargazers ride through the ancient realms
(Repeat chorus)
. . .
Gethsemane
Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...
You wake up, where's the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you
Another beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinitely dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me, for I don't know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose
(Repeat chorus)
"Iknew you never before
I see you never more
But the love, the pain, the hope, O beautifull one
Have made you mine, 'till all my years are done"
Without you
The poetry within me is dead
"You tell me, my love; It's not love if it's not forever. But let me tell
you; A Scene could brmuch more to remember than the play itself."
With Wishes for you, in June '98

Musically it's pretty good too.
And andersap pretty much nailed the meaning.
"A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom"
Earth in the vastness of the dark universe.
"Child of dew-spangled cobweb, Mother to the Moon"
The cobweb is our solar-system. Dewdrops = the planets. Mother to the Moon = Earth.
"Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant"
Star constellations. 3rd vagrant = 3rd planet from the Sun = Earth. The constellations are the audience to the play of life.
"Theater for the play of life"
Earth is where life unfolds.
"Tragedienne of heavens"
Tragedienne can also mean the writer of tragedies, and the Earth is full of tragedies, especially when we are talking Nightwish. So the tragedienne of heavens is also the Earth. Fits with the theater nicely
"Watching the eyes of the night"
Eyes of the night = stars. It can be both the Earth and/or the astronomers (stargazers) watching the stars. I believe it is both.
"Sailing the virgin oceans"
Earth moving in the universe. AND astronomers/navigators sailing the seas and navigating by the stars.
"A Planetride for Mother and Child"
The Earth and the Moon moving. AND the people of Earth riding around the universe on the Earth.
"Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes"
Hydrogen is the basic material of the universe. AND hydrogen is part of the water molecule, the hydrogen lakes are thus also the oceans of earth. It is Earth and the sailors/navigators/astronomers floating.
"In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze"
The Earth is spinning. The astronomers/navigators gazing at the sky as they move around the world and the Earth moves around.
"Ephemeral life touched by a billion-year-show"
Humans' short lives compared to the age of the universe
"Separating the poet from the woe"
The knowledge of the age of the universe is comforting to the poet.
"Oracle of the Delfian Domine"
Astrologists using the sky and Earth to foresee events, they are the Delfian Domine. The Earth is the Oracle.
"Witness of Adam's frailty"
Earth saw the dawn of mankind.
"Seer of the master prophecy"
Master prophecy = end of the Earth, or = end of the universe, or = the entire history of the universe. The Earth is the seer.
"The stellar world her betrothed"
Earth will eventually be destroyed and the matter from which it is made will rejoin all the matter in the universe and take a new form.
"Wanderers in cosmic caravan"
The nearest stars are part of our galaxy which is the cosmic caravan.
"Universal bond - The Starborn"
Univeral bond = gravity and the unity of the universe. Starborn = The Earth, born from the stars. Perhaps the starborn are also the stargazers.
"A son in search for the truth"
The Earth is the son. The son is also a stargazer(an astronomer/astrologist/navigator and so on).
"Following the pages of Almagest"
Almagest being a series of ancient books about the movement of celestial bodies. The Earth is following its patch. The stargazers are using/following the knowledge of Almagest.
"Discovering the origin of dreams"
Now moving on to dealing only with the stargazers. They discover the origin of dreams which I read as a metaphor for obtaining the knowledge of The Riddler, which is the knowledge of the answer to the universe and the meaning of life.
"Stargazers ride through the ancient realms"
Might be the notion of building spacecrafts capable of interstellar travel. Might be the Earth moving in space. Might be riding in the ancient knowledge. Might be all three!
Well that ended up being long…
when listening to it i dont only get the impression that it is about stars and planets, i think it tells a story of the "Tragedienne" being a lady of heaven(s), who watches the stargazers as
they watch the sky.
I am not sure why this lady would be named "Tragedienne".
I am probably way off the actual meaning :p

The Almagest is an ancient book which outlines the paths of stars and planets.
This song definitely touches on the planets and stars. Makes me think just how special we are to be able to look up at the sky and see such amazing things.
