Dark Tranquility - Haven
now as the lights go down
deeper now it seems than long before
there are no noises here
just a silence gone bad
something i will never hide
this urging need to
invite the darkside in
invite the darkside
invite the darkside in
invite the darkside
in, in, in
into my haven
if there were words for this
would i sing, or should i scream?
i'd give my blood to stay
my blood just to stay right here
something i can never share
this urging need to
invite the darkside in
invite the darkside
invite the darkside in
invite the darkside
in, in, in
into my haven
Dark Tranquility - The Same
what we always fear and loathe
becomes of us
repay the visit of our loss
reset the marks again
the turning point
the turning point
seems to be holding on
sands of ages and the stars above
everchanging as the same hearts beat
repeating 'till the end
seas of slander and the soil we walk
everchanging as these old hearts beat
it ends up all the same
the sail that never knew the wind
barren and lost
our wrecks whose shores will never reach
a trek on darker trails
let days be done, let days be done
let days
it takes forever holding on
sands of ages and the stars above
everchanging as the same hearts beat
repeating 'till the end
seas of slander and the soil we walk
everchanging as the same hearts beat
it ends up all the same
sands of ages and the stars above
everchanging as the same hearts beat
repeating 'till the end
seas of slander and the soil we walk
everchanging as these old hearts beat
it ends up
the same
Dark Tranquility - Through Ebony Archways
there is a silent man in a tower
mute in a blinded world
yet words dance on virgin lips
freezing the winds of blood
clad in layers of darkest velvet
drenched in the gloomy light of dawn
...all black...
and in his wait for the grand finale
standing atop of the stairs
from dawn to dusk his heart's ablaze
uncovering words from
an obsolete state of mind
sharpen them
turn them into arrows
descend into grief
without a bow no arrows fly
bitter (bitter)
black (black)
bitter (bitter)
black (black)
all is dark
passing through the ebony archways(-passing through the ebony archways)
hand in hand with the wisdom of stars (hand in hand with the wisdom of stars)
wisdom dressed in the blackest array(...wisdom dressed in the blackest array...)
there is no man in that tower
walking the shores in black
bitter frost now bites the walls of hope
no traces in the sand
Dark Tranquility - Lost to Apathy
The unsaid tone of weak despair
fail to resonate
frayed ends of our binding threads
will disintegrate
By laws our physique state
failure to communicate
None too sentient
Hear no, see no works its magic
Against all function
Ongoing choices
the trials will end
filter the nonsense
and laugh at what’s left
Indecision/non vision
what matters taken away
Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to Apathy
So overcome with pointless tears
to test pain receptors
nothing matters ever here
put up a non reaction
These eyes will never see
covered up from reality
Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon this battle is over
Lost to Apathy
The unknown world that you deny
no priority
Cannot fail if you never start
How predictable
I want to know
Where did it end?
for madness to start
Always the sceptic
Never be part
Introvertive /non descriptive
It matters not
Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon this battle is over
Lost to Apathy
