Lyrics: The Kinslayer
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
Fifteen candles
Redeemers of this world
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know?"
Four pink ones
Nine blue ones
Two black ones

Tuomas wrote this song about the Colombine school shootings in Colorado. He was really upset by what happened.

@@fdsannie that's awesome. Thanks for the background information. I'm really trying to get them to react to While Your Lips Are Still Red. Shows how good a vocalist Marco is. The version at Wembley - with Marco and Floor duo is so emotional. Marco as main singer and Floor with back up vocals. Am very surprised there are so little reactions to this song in general. Tuomas wrote it for a movie. Lieska. The guitar solo is done by Troy Dockery instead of Emppu. Floor's background vocals take it to another level. I damn near cried when I heard the new version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4prsq2vZJyZecY.html There is a Wacken version but only with Marco and Tuomas on keyboards. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXtk1sWNhNSroag.html

@@alstlew You are right about the Wembley version. It is so unbelievable. The first one I saw was the one with scenes from the movie. I must have hit rewind at least 50 times. lol
Tarja has such a massive stage presence when she performs unlike any other female singer I've seen to date. She is so natural and ingrained in the performance as well as connected with the audience. Something that is rarely done easily. For me this will forever be the best time for Nightwish fans when she was heading the band.

Please do Nightwish - Over the Hills and far away - End of an Era !! Guitar and Drums are so epic on this one😍
I like it.. Wonderful reaction..Tarja love it
Absolutely epic performance that was as the whole gig of this dvd (that i have of course). Despite loving Floor era too, i miss Tarja as well. Greetings as always guys 🤘
The Kinslayer is a tribute to the victims of Columbine High School massacre. Tuomas shocked by this tragic event, because he was an exchange student in U.S. in the early 90's.
Congratulations on 30 k 👍🏻 who’s w me?

She onws this song perfectly!
Good reaction. End of an era is an amazing concert. It"s epic. It will be interesting to check out the upcoming Nightwish live DVD of the Decades tour. They performed many old songs, the Kinslayer is among them. Getsemane, Dead boy"s poem, The Carpenter , etc. All performed by Floor. I can't wait for that DVD. It will be amazing. And recorded in Colombia and Argentina. I was in the Buenos Aires' concert that day and the crowd... well you know how we are in South America.
This song is sadly timeless..the song is written by Tuomas Holopainen about the victims of the Columbine High School massacre in April 20, 1999. The dialogue in the middle of the song quotes the actual phrases between the killers and their schoolmates during the shooting. You should watch " bowling for columbine " documentary.

That guitar player Emppu vuorinen has other bands too, you should check Brothers Firetribe - heart full of fire (that song even has Nightwishs second singer anette in it) or other songs 😃
Btw you still have songs to react from Wacken ;). Hope you will also react to Planet Hell from end of an era. Tuomas said on interview that the music is ready for the new album so there’s gonna be new songs to react for you :).
this gig was takening place, our biggest ice hockey hall, about 12t or bit over 13T+ ppl, if it is getting SOLD OUT
React to Bless the child - same concert 😍
The one Nightwish song that fits Jaime Lannister is probably Ever Dream, probably the second part of Beauty of the Beast too. Yes, I think about Jaime Lannister a lot. :)) PS: this song is about the Columbine massacre.
When you want to go back to the more metal side of Nightwish be sure to check out Weak Fantasy live at Wembley. That song kicks ass.
Well, Tarja is bit to metal what Bruce Lee is to kung fu.
Pleas Rammstein - Rammlied (Madison Square Garden) 🤘
Amazing Song, best singer in my opinion. Just E P I C
Great reaction as usual. MORE NIGHTWISH. You should do "Ghost Love Score" from the End Of An Era version just to contrast with Floor's version. This DVD the audio mix is perfect, so you can hear all the KEYS, BASS, DRUMS, etc. its wonderful. Plus Tuomas has some epic solos in this version that you don't see much in other live clips. The climax isn't there since Tarja leaves the stage in the middle of a note but otherwise its great sound wise. You guys would enjoy it. Thanks!
ROOTS of NIGHTWISH, the real and only good gathering of this band !
"Running Wild - The brotherhood" Pleeeeeeese, guys!!!
I love your T-shirt "Make Power Metal great again" Stratovarius still doing great power
Guys you have to check out The Kinslayer from the live ' from wishes to eternity ' , that version is much faster and much epic than End of An Era !
I really love your Nightwish Sunday and this song is a master piece as all Nightwish songs. And as I said before your reactions videos are amazing. Maybe some day you could do a reaction video with some Ayreon songs like Age of Shadows, Beneath the Waves, Day Two: Isolation or The Day That The World Breaks Down. Thank you guys. Love your channel ❤❤
How Do not love this woman?
The Kin(g)slayer was here, the guy wasn't king for a long time, almost just King for a Day (Battle Beast), so the Death of a King (Amorphis) happened... Good pick, good reaction!
Also Powerwolf has some new videos for their most recent album that came out oct 2018
Catching up with _reactions_ of yours I forgot to watch *over* the last "1 month", with quick comments, *part 1:* Emppu (the guitarist) has been using _that_ pose as long as I remember - that is since I first saw them live circa *2000* I'd be disappointed if he stopped :)
Another masterpiece! Hoping to one day see you guys react to Promethean - The Nameless Colour.
I'm actually surprised you guys haven't done Yours is an Empty Hope - Live (with Floor) yet. You two will love it. Maybe cause it's not from Wacken :P
Jason Richardson & Luke Holland - Tendinitis!
Hey guys, you will Love this vídeo (and the song as well): Demons on you by Tarja turunen(ex Nightwish) feat Alissa white gluz. Abraços do BRASIL.
Rammstein - Amerika, Volkerball, Les Arenes de Nimes 2005!
What a Brilliant song by their best singer, in my humble opinion. I think they sacked her straight after this show. When you get a chance check out Haggard Awakening the Centuries, I believe they are of a genre which you may not have done before. Have a lovely day.

I think that the missing G was added when the kinslayer found her sister's G-spot and became kingslayer.
Nothing wrong with comparison of Tarja and Bruce Lee... Immortals both!

please react to Nightwish Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley !!!
Try anything from "From Wishes To Eternity DVD" by Nightwish. Maybe Wanderlust.
Intsresting factoid. Tarja is a martial arts fan. So she could have been inspired by Game of Death.
Please react nightwish stargazers live
Hi guys you should make cry my name by bloodbath live at Rockpalast 2018 please!!!
please do nightwish - yours is an empty hope. best wishes from FRYSLAN.

Can you please react to storytime nightwish live in Tampere.
I'm going to keep trolling you until you do Troldhaugen - Viva Loa Vegas I saw someone react to this song on another reaction channel, and immediately went and downloaded all their albums. Not a very well-known band, but very creative and talented. They are from Australia. Very similar style to TrollfesT, but perhaps more experimental, crazy, and catchy if you can imagine that. They might be my favorite of all the troll bands you have reacted to so far. Oh, and if Finntroll, Trollfest, Trollwar, and Troldhaugen all did a tour together, it could be called "The Tetra-Trolling Tour." You may be annoyed by my trolling now, but trust me, you will thank me later. That is, if you can ever trust a troll.
I think you guys should do a re-reaction to Ghost Love Score. Let's call it a "review" more than reaction. See how your feelings changed from the first time.
This song is for the victim s of Columbine shool schooting. Sadly we have had in Finland two school shootings, where 20 students was killed. If you wanna see Tuomas go crazy on the keyboards...check out a video Phantom Of The Opera in Italy...😁 If I am.not mistaken Emppu has the same or similar black jacket at the Tampere concert 2015.
LOL nothing to do with GOT. "Good wombs hath born bad sons" what a line!
Do wishmaster for next sunday!
Guys, you still missing a really big thing. You're into Nightwish, Epica, Blind Guardian, Queensryche, etc. But you still missing a really big one. Ayreon. You need to do Ayreon. It's a project with many singers. I won't say more... For a light first one, I recommend Everybody dies live kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3V1utaOlLCdqKg.html For something more epic: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXqpr62dot22obg.html I'd even dare you to watch it blind-folded and try to recognize the singers. I think you know most of them
This is REAL NIGHTWISH,with TARJA!!!!
Please react to the song "throttle" of within the fire !!!!!
Is the better version in dvd live 2001
The only problem with tarja was her goofy moves on stage, other than that, she was perfect.
Do Creeks Mary's Blood!!!!
Please react to X Japan’s song Kurenai from The Last Live. You will not be sorry. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Its more depend on tipe of songs..early songs are better with tarja because they darker and her voice fits perfectly...later heavier songs fits more to floor...also on the live shows floor is better-more versatile voice...on studio albums tarja is better they can capture tarjas powerfull voice way better and its more stable there...just my opinion(that i know is right:)
just a question do you always shake yur head when listen to music.or just on video ;) ?
