tabbed by daniel geers,
from germany / westerkappeln
Explanation:
When i searched for a guitar tab of crownless i found 4 or 5 different versions
on the net.. most of them very hard to play, so i made my own tab - a logical,
finger - friendly version
This is only the main part because i was too lazy to write down the following
chars / tones... the rest is very easy...it doesn't matter which "version"
you play ...
Guitar friendly version of the intro :
( "/ " means slide )

| I think "the Riddler" is a personification of the desire to question everything in life...just like the "Child" in Nightwish is a personification of the idea of innocence. In the song "The Riddler" Toumas talks about how the desire to question everything can lead only to madness...he says ignorance (or acceptance) is the key...also he is perhaps saying that if there were answers to everything then there would be nothing for the poet to imagine. Has no one else noticed that the quote "Crownless Again Shall Be King" is a quote from Lord of the Rings by Tolkien? I think he is making a play on the meaning of that...he also makes reference to several other books "Iron, Sword in stone, etc..." | |

| ItTakesAShoob, you should dig a little deeper and put some thought into these things before accussing true artists such as Tuomas of not thinking about their lyrics and poor songwriting. The gull is a symbol of opportunism and taking advantage of what others have built. The "gull covered in oil" is not a victim of an oil spill, but an opportunistic person "anointed" as king or queen, and the "broken wing" suggests that their achievement will be their downfall, as they have no wisdom or talent other than manipulation that brought them to this point. The responsibility that comes with true power weighs too heavily on them. | |
