Dark Tranquillity
Album • 2007
Force it to begin Spark the flame To firebursting sin Doctrine denied Over and over again Keeping death of all things private Expose this failed creation What is done is dead What is done is dead To be content, an abomination Are you satisfied Are you done with this The ultimate rebellion The sacrifice is endless The ultimate rebellion Be nothing to no one What's in a true life? Behind the crumbling walls Of dream and infant illusion Action without movement Desire without heart It is over and done It is over and done To crave for touchless objects And fathom without eyes The fall of all things personal That no one sees The ultimate rebellion The sacrifice is endless The ultimate rebellion Leave nothing to no one Awaken to the screams Of unresolved Demands and accusations Words are free These are the outer symptoms Of inner detonation Will force us to inaction Rid us of resolve Take the burden off me Lead me to my grave The ultimate rebellion The sacrifice is endless The ultimate rebellion Leave nothing to no one

Dreamt up a new word today In my ignorance I gave it meaning Who was I to know To say it is to know it To hear it is to believe, is to believe I dreamt the world would end I was not wrong To doubt, to discredit The words I've heard before From inside a shell pretending It's all you've shown your faith And what you've always known So lay your trust in the unthinkable It's time to justify your lesser faith It's all your faith has shown And all you'll ever know Why do you matter, you're insignificant How can you justify your lesser faith? To know it is to fear it To fear it is to say no, is to say no To the blazing highs and lows I know I'll fail To break, to cast it down You take your lead From a staff that must be broken in two It's all your faith has shown And all you'll ever know Why do you matter, you're insignificant How can you justify your lesser faith?

I tell you here Of all that crimes and hours broken What never came, will never be the same I tell you this, I tell you what The mind that has been flooded All the exits sealed A poison set to enter The unforgiving me Probes and infiltrators Infiltrate me It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves) Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)...Go No need for your defenses My angerwall will hold Take your steady pride In monotony and beat Invaders and corruptors Invade me It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves) And never again Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself) A super nova of flame on fire This broken spirit, blind at heart Bite down hard on frustration The siege that can't be broken This hollow flame of fear I tell you this, I tell you what So close without connection Locked inside the sphere I take the blame upon me And scream at what I see I'm blind at heart So blind at heart It's in these hour we forget ourselves (Ourselves) And never again Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)

Like lust has yet to fail me No power to subside My instincts never broken This downfall so close at hand The thing that scares me most Is the fear I see in others And the thing that really Frightens me to the core Is when I see that fear in you Like shields against the action No enemy to subdue We barricade forever The which hinds inside of us all The thing that scares me the most Is the fear I see in others The thing that really Frightens me to the core Is when I see that fear in you To break the rules and patterns Are you're scared enough Before the end is here Are you scared enough Are you scared enough Are you scared enough The thing that scares me the most Is the fear I see in others That look that sends shivers Down my spine Will haunt me to the end Of living days and nights You're the thing that matters to me most And I sense this fear in you

Inside the particle storm Where clouds of napalm shimmer With the promise of one final dawn Inside the particle bliss Where ages collide into nothingness Obliteration's one final kiss A claw in the garden of eden Clogging the bloodstream of birth Tearing a hole in the fabric of life The horizon enriched with scars Inside the particle blaze A chamber of dissolution Proclaiming the end of days We leave now Nothing will follow, nothing at all The cleansing flames of entropy To devour us all Our lungs are filled with sarin Our children drowning like dogs Handcuffed to the weight of cold dark matter Without purpose, meaning, or name Inside the particle storm The poison gene of humanity Nullified This is the moment When black ships anchor to the sky The heavy hands of chaos Descend in merciless demise

What night never abandoned In shallow darkness dwell The evidence in pools of black Light cannot penetrate, light cannot penetrate Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me Lifted from the living days To be bent right out of shape Let blades and satisfiers Cut and lick these wounds In reversal of repentance This bastard son of lies To bring meaning to it all, meaning to it all Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me Take now from this body A coward's heart And a soul beyond repair Empty me Between insecurity and reason Self deprecation as a means to the end Out of reach but never closer A cure that searches for the cause Cause for chaos Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me Drawn from memories the fragments linger On ages of thought and seconds of sleep What is it here that tempts the night To stab the day and kill the light

Seen through these dreamless eyes Blind buildings stark to the sky Silhouettes as dividing walls Guarding the eternal secret Where is the flame to haunt you Who do you answer to My lies are always wishes Lies that make me See beyond the rationale Accept the fate that nothing is meant to be Be the least connected Stay true to the last original Apply layers to reality Things only you can see Add a beat to normality To tap the core of insanity I let my dreams cross over To days of endless gray If I could merge the mundane and the magic We'd forged a new unknown I let my dreams cross over To nothingness and back again If I could merge the mundane and the magic Where is the dark I came to find In latter days as time will find you Memories will never let you get closer The silent sighs in useless company Wish for darkness and death again In the face of ignorance and fear I cast it right back Some things were never there to begin with Objectivity is truth denied Apply layers to reality Things only you can see Add a beat to normality To tap the core of insanity I let my dreams cross over To days of endless gray If I could merge the mundane and the magic We'd forged a new unknown I let my dreams cross over To nothingness and back again If I could merge the mundane and the magic Where is the dark I came to find
