Dark Tranquillity
Album • 2005
What you enforce Once stronger than logical Beyond the focus With the grander ideas One microcosmos In this wretched piece of hell Distant memories of what empathy we felt No revolution No revolution In what they must overthrow It's not a secret we have known The need that is our enemy Chorus: I don't ever want to see you Doing all the same things as me Don't ever let this be you Knowing what it is that drives me! It's all in the future What's said with one foot in the grave It's all in the plan Well what we never could achieve No satisfaction - no satisfaction We excuse ourselves from progress By those wondering the motives Our story said too much Whatever beat that drives the impulse Whatever tune that carries through What fierce soul that rattles empty It's one reality too few Were we just never wider Another drop of what we grasp… DOWN Oh a vicious curse What law that we forsake inside A conflict And the one against the wiser None the wiser Our space invaded! Selfish, they begin to cover The sentences of utopia One to escape the arguments Put another filter on Chorus

Let no one be their selves Turn off the saturating lights Now within the others Turn off the watchful eye The brightest is the night Shelter for the shattered In unison we strive Dare to disassociate That cuts the pass of time What's actual lies further The ends that fast unfold Will the hour of meeting Let silence speak the truth I want to hear you scream I want to see you.. Stand and top the canyon A vision and your failure Thirsting for a higher place Marking different strokes What weak reflection It tears your soul apart…. No selection It tears our world apart These walls are protecting us Burn them to the ground This haven of refuge Burn it to the ground So smudge your lense a little What matter the void Phase out of sound a while And let it go Sentences of choice Is what I want of your design Left to our devices We stumble on I want to hear you scream, I want to hear you scream Burn it to the ground No final word to save you Burn it to the ground Take me to the keep Where bear the darkest void Thousandfold the agony Where silence speaks alone To rely on static With it sides the dark How else can we move on? I want to hear you scream, I want to see you die!

Make enemies of truth and reason In that a rage is born Start out the promise and adventure When the was never the goal Chorus: How does it feel, to run out of nothing? Where do you go, when you run out? Never you mind, the grand perspective Your outer forces, kept at bay Washing out of the field of vision To retain a sense of control Your focus will remain unfixed In the haze of a world unhinged Create a sense of purpose Around which you base your faith The doubt that haunts your skin An itch that will linger on Forever Chorus You wade forth, critique as an offender But never question, where your motives lie As a part of the greatest fable The beast aread forgotten Is this in a deadened rampage Destruction as a saving grace RAAGGH!!! You run out of nothing Chorus

You try to hide the fact that you're from yourself Your own feeble entertainer Is none other than the one we call you And you need the others to fortify your disgust For the worst of us, to the rest of us No!! Chorus: Entertain the thought that we are still alive Entertain the notion of impending doom Entertain the worst suspicions and our fears Just pull us in and take us down I hear a mighty cheer Your fate can not be any stronger Re-read, the stage is set A product of what will be fed Oblivious, all by design Non susceptible to any mind Chorus I can take what's being given I can down whatever comes I will do what you deem necessary My fear compels me! No more fictitious names I will not be made a mockery No more chaos seed I am not what you're supposed to see No!! With all the signs of the danger Everything is lost In the name of entertainment We're all doomed Chorus

You are all that matters In my private demonology Those who fail us now The sons of wishes The bastard child of dream Enemies of hope Let it be gone - it's all pretend Mind matters, matters not. Never. Again. In perfect clarity. We'll see the day with child-like vision. It doesn't leave a- We're all without guidance The old disaster All matter without import Our search is wider RAGH Cast off the white and wholesome dreams Mind matters, matters not YEAAGH. No need to see you there The path we made is clear Just stay ahead of me This is not safe for me to see Mind Matters, matters not. This time, I'll bring you up to nothing Project again, direct the pose to action All across the board Judge comings close to call Let it be gone It's all pretend Mind. Matters. Matters. Not.

Insufficient facts Make up for a free foundation I'm bringing the obscene Form the opinion Uncustomized Sticks are numb, that substance void of purpose - we, were we wrong? Let him decide it Let him decide it - who will take the blame Another soul to drain What is it that we see? x2 Chorus: One thought bringing it down Original sinners One thought bringing it down Switch it off How's it come to this? Enjoying things by proxy Live through others Die just like the rest We all end up screaming A little louder To cover up another piece of silence You scream a little louder! Fortune has run to me Turn it off! Chorus Brace for impact! Towards a greater vision When life will stand to fall Tyranny of fear A stranglehold on us Stronger day by day It's time to turn it off Chorus

It comes from all we're giving In seemingly endless supply Our signals crossed defiantly Into this volatile mix we guard You stop and I repeat The error of character, grounds are a part of the deeds that take you Run back down, no! You were .. one's that see Misgivings in historic nightlight Fill in the blanks That one will fall To the heart set to others Chorus: NO! There is nothing left! A mere shadow, when adrenalin runs dry NO! There is nothing there, an empty prop When adrenalin runs dry It gets you deep down - NO! NO! Yes they told you about the blazing heights The space from which the world is viewed Where's the mirror, that shatters the image? The crypt is careful hiding, retreat from another attack Painlessly forgiving, a refuge indeceptive back It works within the system, and they wont understand When it is a lone deceiver, will fool you .. NO! NO! NO! Torn to waste .. and it's all about nothing We want to scream within the span of attention Brought to grow Let the chaos pass That one will fail I hear screams in terrors, I hear screams in terrors Chorus

I grant to you - No privilege of person No sense of self A denial of choice It wants out So from all the little bits and pieces A simple case of lost and found A wicked new beginning I don't ever want to see It's the oldest trick in the book Just like everything you always knew Torn apart its very end There's nothing left to be I can't have a mind to say All the things that bother me today Yeah you better check if it's me, in that coffin of yours I'm just the one The one you thought you knew Chorus: I am one? Who am I? No character to be lost inside The mind is hard to please Surrendering with ease Words clenched in fists of rage Can't feel the frustration There's a part of me that cannot deal With the character I am forced to be It's a thinly failed plan To lay a world afoot Lost in community Light in belonging Is there really nothing more than this? All the emptiness remains So pull up your preface And take your place again Chorus

Riddled by the tropics What was that makes the edges burn Here on the outskirts - the prosperity - the pride Stretched as far as one can reach But I learned (to) defy your meaning There's something out there, lost beyond your power lines It's all the same to me - it's all the same to me Lost all faith in promises, and deadline closing in Tired of deciphering, the wayward strands of truth Chorus: I don't care - Cause I can't feel! I don't know - Anymore! What's sure we better conjure up With vowels, nouns and letters But within it's very nature, The ability to distort There's nothing in the words I hear That makes me want to take a stand ... and show it is a cage It's all the same to me - It's all the same to me. The years of our conditioning This world - Rather keep me in the dark than look me in the eye and LIE! Chorus Chorus (2): It's all the same thing pulling us down The senses punish here It's all the same things making us blind There's nothing here for me Hear it coming? Waiting for you now. I can't even stand and tone a fabricate - A denial on display Make you a lithmus - left for dead Thinking about what .. We touch the very .. When nears that hear no end to which Unwilling or unable, the difference left for just judgement It's all the same to me, it's all the same to me It passes on, from wicked mouth, as vision takes another role New bound oppressor - What teachers brought down now stand tall Chorus Chorus (2)

It's all in ego crave The sun can never set Why do threat of anger never linger? Why does the ember turn to stone? To where the longing goes In with the sense of old A face of nothing can never see As blind as free Everything you want - Is in the end of this Everything I need - Will be at the end of me Chorus: My negation (How) will you know my name? You sense the danger coming My negation (How) can you see my face? What's to become of me? The art of reduction Stripped down to - What seems defendable Scale to bare revisions Learn to stop making sense Ravelling pillars - Of towering fear Rational instincts - And insight to spare With the forces End of grace Everything I fear - Is in this failing Not the end - Of what I am Is in this end Chorus (How) will you know my name?
