Dark Tranquillity Album

Forcing to begin
Smoke and flame
Can fire burn through sin?
Darkening is denied
Over and over again

Keep me down from all things private
Expose this failed creation
What is done is dead
What is done is dead
To be contentLyrics
Beyond abomination
Are you satisfied?
Are you done with this?

The ultimate rebellion
The sacrifice is endless
The ultimate rebellion
Mean nothing to no one

What’s in a true life,
Beyond the crumbling walls?
I’ll dream an infant illusion
Action without movement
Desire without heart

It is over and done
It is over and done

To cleave our judgment subjects
What fathom without eyes
The fall of all things personal
That no one sees

The ultimate rebellion
The sacrifice is endless
The ultimate rebellion
Nothing to no one

Awaken to the screams of unresolve
Demands accusations of the free
No
These are the outer centers
Of bitter detonation
That will force us to inaction
Glitters of resolve

Take the burden off me
Lead me to the grave

The ultimate rebellion
The sacrifice is endless
The ultimate rebellion
The nothing to no one

Dreamed 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

I dreamed 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 feel it 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 the staff that must be broken in two

This is a ghost town
Alive with the echoes of failures fled
Lit up by shining faces
That parade these streets
What used to be
Of humility is gone
You walk the mounds
Of skull and bones
Where living is denied
I see more movement in decomposition
Than in those hollow eyes

It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is when truth is turned to lie
That death is most alive

Set flame to the ensnarers
And pierce that ornate shield
Branded by what claims you
You wear the mark of death
Tear from loss and agony
A character defined
Stripped of all but tragedy
What life is left to find
Go now, until there's nothing left
Go now, the dying has begun

It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is when truth is turned to lie
That death is most alive

So I flee from all that is me
To hide behind this pale dead face
Whatever happened to desire, want and need
Whatever happened to integrity
Imagination is a curse in all of this
Whatever happened to the ones left behind

This is a ghost town
Bodies dragged through endless streets
Go now, to never return
I've seen more pitiful humiliation
Than you could never hide

It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is when truth is turned to lie
That death is most alive

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

LyricsInvaders 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
Rushing to fail me
No power
To subside
My instinct
Never broken
This downfall
So close at hand
And the thing that scares me most
Is the fear I see in others
And the thing that really frightens me to the coreLyrics
Is when I see that fear in you

Like shields
Against the action
No enemy
To subdue
We barricade
Forever
The wish hides
Inside of us all

The thing that scares me most
Is the fear I feel in others
And 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 scared enough?
Before the end is here
Are you scared enough

Are you scared enough?
Are you scared enough?

And the thing that scares me most
Is the fear I see in others
The look that sent shivers down my spine
Will haunt me
Till the end of living days and nights

You’re the thing that matters to me most
And I sense the fear in you

Inside the particle storm
Where clouds of napalm shimmer
With the promise of one final dawn

Inside the particle blitz
Where rages collide into nothingness
A veneration’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 scarsLyrics

Inside the particle blaze
A shiver of disillusion
Proclaiming the end of days
We leave now
Nothing will follow
Nothing at all
The cleansing flames of entropy
To defer us all
Our lungs are filled with sarin
Our children drowning like ducks
Anger to the weight of cold of cold dark matter
Without promise, meaning, or name

Inside the particle storm
The poison gene of humanity
Undefined
This is the moment
When blood ships anger to the skies
The heavy blinds of chaos descend in merciless demise

What night never abandoned
In shallow darkness dwell
The evidence in pools of black
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 satisfires
Cut and lick these wounds
In reversal of repentance
This bastard son of lies
To bring meaning to it all

Have you come for my forgiveness?
There's nothing left to give
No response to your repentance
LyricsThis 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 of chaos

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

[No lyrics]

I think i just forgot
To pick up the shells
From a recent discharge
And you took the blame
Explanations falter
To ears fallen deaf
Wherever I go I get lost

A reference to something
That both of us knew
A nothing that favors the few Lyrics
In the darkness electric we see
Of the silence that's spoken tonight

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone

I let my focus shift

Your face is a map I fail to discover
Drowned in the sound, so lost in the order
It's an understated word, the unbreaking knowledge
Interlocked and holding, a stalemate to break
I take hold of the flame that unites
In the silence that speaks to me now

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone

I let my focus shift

I struggle to find the words that negate my meaning
I fail to comprehend what message is given

I decline the sleight of hand that leads to rejection
An attempt to find closure with no sense of pride
Drown the fury and swallow the fire
Drown the fury
Swallow the fire

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone

I let my focus shift

Seeing through these dreamless eyes
Blind buildings storm through the sky
Silhouettes this dividing world
Guarding the eternal secrets

Where is the flame to haunt you,
And who do you answer to?
My lies are always wishes
Lies that make me
See beyond the rational
Accept the fate that nothing is meant to beLyrics
Be the least connected
Stay true to the last original

My layers to reality
Things only you can see
And a beast of normality
Digs out the core of his sanity

I let my dreams press over
The tale of endless gray

If I can merge the mundane and the magic
We’ve forged a new unknown

I let my dreams press over
To nothingness and back again

If I can merge the mundane and the magic
Where is the dark I came to find?

In light of days as time will find you
Memories will never let you get closer
The silent sighs
The 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
Objectivities you denied

My layers to reality
Things only you can see
And a beast of normality
Digs out core of his sanity

I let my dreams pass over
The tale of endless gray

If I can merge the mundane and the magic
We’ve forged a new unknown

I let my dreams press over
To nothingness and back again

If I can merge the mundane and the magic
Where is the dark I came to find?

As in the life of rain
You're only alive when you're falling
The coldest chill
In the emptiness of reason

You brought it upon yourself
It's slow but final
With nothing to gain
You brought it upon yourself
It's slow but final
It begins today

Light up the days
With the darkest of waking dreams
For endless puzzles
To reflect our aim

You brought it upon yourself
It's slow but final
With nothing to gain
You brought it upon yourself
It's slow but final
It starts today

It seems you've passed the mark
Of indescribable dark
I fear you've drowned
In hope of what you think will come

Extracted from the sharpest of moments
Built to greet you when the time will come
Empty spaces on foundations of denial
Your structure is dust

As in the death of dream
Awakenings will leave you stranded
Where no one is listening
Where no one is around

[No lyrics]

I don't mind the fall
It's in the climb of its bottom
That hurts the most

Here today, a stab of emptiness
Divert your eyes
From the judgemental stares
So nonforgiving
Yet what do they know
What have they seen
I cannot do it

I plunge myself against the rocks of ice
Helldriven hounds now on my trail

To play apart
Uphold a bland facade
Do the expected
If only nothing remained
Of facts and furies
These are the seconds
That will not be forgotten
This is the time
What have i done
What if they know
I cannot do it

Eyes on the prize
Yet never tell them
In shadows hide it
What eyes can tell
How well you know
Familiar urges
The same old place
Where you will know it
And they will pay

[No lyrics]
