| I think it's about that Jesus did in fact not try to save the world but only to ease the pain while the unavoidable end of everything was coming near. There is nothing that could be saved. | |

| The Carpentar, which is probably my least favourite Nightwish song, is about Jesus Christ, who was raised as a carpentar's son. It is partly for this reason why I do not like it very much. To me, religious songs are very cheap and hollow. Though every other Nightwish song, with the exception of Beauty and the Beast (not of the Beast) is excellent! | |

| I am not a Christian, but I still love this song, I really love how Tuomas's voice works in contrast to Tarja's in this song... | |

| I think it is about people who try to accomplish great things, like gifted people that belive that human salvation lies in their hands, and their life-sacrifiyng trials they must overcome, sometimes imposed by themselves. And the way we all seem oblivious to their efforts and don't follow their examples. About the grial, I think it is pointing the fact that Jesus is a humanized god, that suffered for us... why did our salvation required a god's sacrifice? why was not a human sacrifice enough, if so many people immolate themselves for the sake of humanity? I think it mentions a carpenter because it is a humble, common profession, and maybe alludes to Joseph; the Virgin Mary is venerated, while Joseph goes almost ignored. Also, if Jesus became human, he had the same tools every human's got and some use with no recongnition. "The one they Lick...promises of eternal peace", I think this alludes to the fact that people wants a savior to avoid their own fights, they'd rather "lie on the grass and observe their saviour" and I think in this paragraph, God and nature are one and the same, that's why he is "crucified to the chirping of birds", something like the voice of god prophetizing the crucifixion, birds singing for the dawn -God foretelling an espiritual dawn- that required the sacrifice of a goddish human, because we are not pure and worthy enough to save ourselves no matter how much we try. | |

| I agree - its definitely religious in some way. Anyway, I dont really like this song much - I really hate Tuomas's vocals; they remind me too much of American Pop. | |

| grail? carpenter? saviour? crucified? if Tuo didn't write about Christ he shouldn't have used those words. Anyway, RainbowDeamon just said it right, the song isn't a christian song in the real meaning of that word. It's a song inspired by the person of Jesus | |

| I agree with Neithan. It's definitely referring to Jesus, but I don't think it's a direct christian translation as to "yay for Jesus" or anything like that. It almost seems like a curiosity of what he thinks Jesus's goal was or something along those lines. | |
