From Dusk Till Doom

I could have danced with the demons of the underworld shovelling coal, I could have counselled with the priests using spilt tounge words making heads roll. Either way I won't win, So where do I begin? I learned to swim by the shores of the black flood, Splashing in fear, I traded in twice my share of this martyr blood, To bring me here. Thundering! I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what's not even a sin, Thundering! I'm praying for resurrection although there's no such thing. The anvil fears no blow, no yell, As swept of the face of the earth, Distant fields may seem green, But still better than ten more years at the gates, (From dusk till doom). We're all taking turns at the wheel, spinning fortune round, No amendments for all of my deeds until our doom is announced. When judgement falls I cave in, Meanwhile I'm thundering. Thundering! I seek forgiveness from the dead, for what's not even a sin, Thundering! I'm praying for resurrection although there's no such thing. When judgement falls I cave in, Meanwhile I'm thundering, Although there's no such thing.

At the cost of a feeling, At the costs of a bitterness tear, I rub my eyes, Those treacherous eyes, Stapled and shut at the end of the paragraph, All wrapped! Something's got a hold on me, Summons me back, Banished from reality. Is it worth this damn headache? When you start something over and over again, (Rise, it's time to rise!), Look for the exit, The curtains are closed. It's the end. Something's got a hold on me, Summons me back, Banished from reality. So I fail again, By starting all over, This miserable attempt, To finnish the puzzle. The last good page, Decending, A hollow fate, Searching, A brand new hope, A new ending, You make yourselves saviour this, Valuable moments until the candle is... Burned, it's burned out! So I fail again, By starting all over, This miserable attempt, To finnish the puzzle. Oh it's all wrapped! Something's got a hold of me, Summons me back, But there's still one piece left on the table.

Can I never ever break these wielded gates, Cause I've got a fire burning outside the walls, This time, will the readings become clear? The days of wondering resounding for years. Toss and turn forever, Sticks and stones lie beneath, Prophecies of disbelief. Could I follow all the loose ends that I've found? That leads up to the inevitable defeat, And frights and nerves and shades of hurt and thoughts that, Somehow keeps swirling towards the bleeding end. Toss and turn forever, Sticks and stones lie beneath, Prophecies of disbelief, Whenever you stopped feeling something, Whenever you stopped feeling weak, I turn again, All I want is to sleep. Once I've settled down, My eyes staring out, But still towards the ground, This headache race, Won't back down, If I make this, It will get it's rest, I try to, you know, But the tighttened ropes deny me of shooting rest, Euphoria. Toss and turn forever, Sticks and stones lie beneath, Prophecies of disbelief, Whenever you stopped feeling something, Whenever you stopped feeling weak, I turn again, All I want is to sleep.

The bitter taste of sweetness on my tounge, Seems to be the venomous debris of what went wrong, Try to figure out this, One on one charade my ways have finally found, And it seems that all that shimmer is gold, But not this one. I'll ride this one of. You don't know what you got until it's gone, (Ravaged ravaged), The common excuse exceeds to be enough for everyone. I tuck my wings back in, You try to make the weight lighter, To carry on. Crooked feathered I dwell on like unaffected, This war has just begun, I have nowhere to run, On along. Loathing this bitter taste of emptiness, My solo run, Seems to be the venomous debris of what went wrong, I'll never figure this out, Summoning of fatal flaws, I'm tearing it down, And it seems that all that shimmer is gold, But not this one. Oh I'm burnt again, Beyond recognition, Should I roll over and play dead? I tuck my wings back in, You try to make the weight lighter, To carry on. Crooked feathered I dwell on like unaffected, This war has just begun, I try to even the figures. Torn and ravaged I move on like undetected, This war has just begun, I have nowhere to run, On along. In Loving Memory Of Jan Erik Flissundet.

The temperature is rising, I'm way overdone, Pieces coming toghter, United under the sun. It's getting worse by the minute, Adding spikes to my spine, Beyond all comprehension, I see the nerves at the end of my arm. I need, Time on my hand, a well written end, A proper purpose and plans, Ways to defend this aching, The irrsesistible urge to give in. I lie and crawl, dancing on your grave, At the end of the day, When that chariot have found it's way, Tell me, how to stand this heat. The plot thickens, I trace the white lines, Through blisters and sunburns, I redo the chain of command. Come forht Helios, I curse your arms reach, Give me your ropes, I want to steer. I need, Time on my hand, a well written end, A proper purpose and plans, Ways to defend this aching, The irrsesistible urge to give in. I lie and crawl, dancing on your grave, At the end of the day, When that chariot have found it's way, Tell me, how to stand this heat. We're all being cursed by the same sun.

Once again those eyes stare at me like I somehow knew they would, Wondering how much timeeating shit like I'm not supposed to do, This is not how it used to be, It's not, cause my heart is bent in two, All by you. I'm all out of line, This rescue is tearing on me, I'm all out of words, Mouths versus head, One shut one hanging. If I, could I, should I take that risk, Head first arms down, Eyes looking minus at best. I'm all out of line, This rescue is tearing on me, I'm all out of words, Mouths versus head, One shut one hanging. Oh, this is not how it used to be, Take a look at my heart, My ribcage is torn in pieces. I'm all out of line, This rescue is tearing on me, I'm all out of words, Mouths versus head, One shut one hanging. I'm all out of line, I'm all out of words, I'm all out of line, I'm all out of love.

I told you right? Don't stand close to the fire, Eye for an eye, you got me, I got you like, Zero eyes, A spine awaits an impact of a sigh, Fear struck and shivering. Standing upright and counting, Lost hours, lost minutes, trying to say something, All got lost wearing blinders, Lost hours, lost minutes, loss of well being, I lost minutes, lost hours allmost everything. The last time our axis met, I swore that this, this! Was it. And it went down, With none at the steering wheel, I would watch my step in this. Fervent terrain, traces written, Hope the guiding light's don't go out again. Standing upright and counting, Lost hours, lost minutes, trying to say something, All got lost wearing blinders, Lost hours, lost minutes, loss of well being, I lost minutes, lost hours allmost everything. When a ship has gone out, And shore is out of reach, You try to throw the water out, But an ocean is hard to heave. Horizon meets the eye, On it's way down... Standing upright and counting, Lost hours, lost minutes, trying to say something, All got lost wearing blinders, Lost hours, lost minutes, loss of well being, I lost minutes, lost hours allmost everything.

Thrust you hand, into the wound, (Was it) on demand (or did you) do what you have to? A broken one acting wall, Oh so thorougly torn. Reason, think straight, Reason, think straight, focus and see, Open wide and, Ready for hell, oh wonderful hell, Reason, think straight, Reason, think straight, focus and see. I am stunned by the blade in my back. I am a mess and I just wanted to show you one last time, But then I choked, Got hurt by the blade, And then I awoke, Drawing the line again. Reason, think straight, Reason, think straight, focus and see. I am stunned by the blade in my back, Oh this wonderful hell, I am stunned by the blade in my back. I am a mess, Terrible mess. It's off. Anything or anyone could not forgive the things you've done, I pray to God and clench the trigger, this wall of anger is getting bigger, I follow all the spoken words, brick by brick they build the past, I stumble in I tumble out I'm stuck in this recurring hell. Anything or anyone could not forgive the things you've done. I'm building, Everything is faliing into place. I though time was on my side, But the corrosion sets in, reminding me, As the days roll by the "what if" hammer, Keeps on ramming the shaft in, deeper and deeper. I'm stunned by the blade in my back, I am a mess.

I'm surrounded by a locust, My options cut down to none, Can't really gather no focus, They devour one by one by one. Breath still, Stay upright. I'm stuck in between the lines, I'm stuck in between the lines. Breathe don't panic. Hey! So you wanna know what's on the flipside of me? Around the bend, Hey! So you wanna know what's on the other side of this? Well take a guess, Go ahead, And break your f****** neck. Locust invasion, Encircle in a killing streams, Do I run for cover, Or do I give into the vermin? Breathe don't panic. Extermination, Bugs crawling up everywhere, Disintigration, Breakdown dreads and fears. Hey! So you wanna know what's on the flipside of me? Around the bend, Hey! So you wanna know what's on the other side of this? Well take a guess, Go ahead. You're breathing still, The panics off, You flip the coin, You're out of luck. So you really wanna know what's around the bend, If you think you have figured it all out, then go ahead, So do you wanna know, Do you?
