The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove Nightwish

[Chorus]
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I've had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

[Verse 1]
A crow flew to me, kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had

An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had

[Chorus]
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I've had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

[Verse 2]
A dove came to me, had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had
