Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
It was the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams
Then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
[Verse 2]
I am the journey
I am the destination
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night
The elusive high
Follow the madness
Alice you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
[Post-Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth...
[Orchestral]
[Bridge]
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear

Tarja: The sorceress Anette: The dark fairy Floor: The valkyrie

Stop hating on Annette, people. In fact, don't hate on any of the singers. Each one brought their own unique sound to NW and I just don't see what the big deal is and why people are strangling each other through the internet. If you don't like a certain era or album, don't listen to it. Simple.
-
Annette was awesome. This is one of their best songs.
-
i love how every nightwish album fits to the singer! This song is perfect for Annette!
-
This song fits perfect for Anette's voice. Wonderful.
-
momentarily! Tarjas songs?perfect. Anettes songs?perfect. Anette can't sing Tarjas songs like her,Tarja wouldn't song Anettes songs like her. Every singer has his own magic.Love them both
-
Anette got a lot of hate because she wasn't Tarja, but songs like these suit both her and the band perfectly. Although she couldn't do songs such as Ghost love Score, her voice helped Nightwish to evolve as a band and create a more complex sound.
-
Probably my favorite Nightwish' song
-
I'm a new Nightwish fan and after reading comment sections of various Nightwish songs, I think I'm one of those few who like all the three lead singers
-
Anyone here in 2024
-
All three of NW singers are magical. Nuff said.
-
Without overreacting, one of the best produced song video spot I have ever seen in my 54 years.
-
Anette's performance here is mind blowing not just music-wise, but also in artistic terms. This dark fairy she personifies is really something!
-
Annette sounds fantastic.
-
Best female voice I ever heard
-
She's wonderful
-
This is the first time I've gotten around to listening to Anette-era Nightwish, and I'm VERY impressed.
-
They all brought their own unique sound to Nightwish. Be it Tarja, Annette, or Floor. Even Marco and Troy. They all have left a mark, all are exceptionally talented singers. I thank all members of the band, for the music and the great memories that go o with all of their songs.
-
She’s the most under-appreciated vocalist, but the two albums she was in are Nightwish’s peak songwriting. This song alone tops the next two albums they have made, with the exceptions of tracks, The Greatest Show on Earth, Endlessness, and Pan. With that said, Anette original’ed Nightwish’s best offerings. :)

Annette is perfect for Imagaerum album!
