Comment on English moment
Vintor@retrolemmy.com 2 months agoEnglish is a pretty simple language to learn, but the pronunciation isn’t part of that simplicity. It’s especially tough to unlearn wrong pronunciations you’ve cultivated for years. In my case (for instance), sword (which I pronounced like “word”) and realm (re-alm).

It’s the honesty of these worlds
Ruled by magic and mighty swords

It sounds that way, especially since the next like is pronounced “mighty swerds.” 😂 And that’s what I thought it was for years. But in the context of the rest of the lyrics “worlds” makes sense.
In any case, Nightwish is no stranger to misheard/pronounced lyrics.
