Sweetness like a whisper
Sharpness, dragon claws If you could be my sister If you could trace my paws I long for unforgiveness The words still never read I seek the undetermined The fluids never bled So won't you bleed for me? Bleed for me If you can stand The silence, it drags you in You're on your own and now it spits you out The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again You've been waiting for so long If you can stand Now you've been hanging on for so long If you can stand... The scent of pure damnation The force that pulls you through You've had enough sensations And now it's only you So would you bleed for me? If you can stand The silence, it drags you in You're on your own and now it spits you out The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again You've been waiting for so long If you can stand Now you've been hanging on for so long If you can stand... If you can stand The silence, it drags you in You're on your own and now it spits you out The wind and the rain keeps on shutting you down again You've been waiting for so long If you can stand Now you've been hanging on for so long If you can stand... 02. Nous Sommes La Guerre
Nous sommes la guerre
Nous sommes le contraire Nous sommes l'opposition Nous attendons le porteur de lumière I can feel the shadows enter, risin' from the earth Now that everyone is giving me the widest berth I have nightly visits, sentient absence watchin' me Nurturin' the itch where other worlds are scratchin' me When I heard the voices from below Gently tellin' me where I should go Speakin' demon tongues in stereo Face the undetermined, let it show Let it show So could you hold my fire? Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite? Nothing's new It's just the fear that Something's comin' after you It's the brimstone sparkling, touching me at parts unseen Just a sharp reminder prodding at what could have been Would you share my burden, help me lay this ghost to rest? If you disagree then please pretend it's for the best Every trial that we must undergo Trapped between the current and the flow Melodies above the hellish drone Sound the unrefined and let it go So could you hold my fire? Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite? Nothing's new It's just the fear that Something's comin' after you Hold my fire Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite? Nothing's new It's just the fear that Something's comin' after you Nous sommes la guerre Nous sommes le contraire Nous sommes l'opposition Nous attendons le porteur de lumière 03. Electric Again
I long for silence
A cold embrace A sheltered place Where my past is erased You know I miss you You don't know how Eternal pain In the blink of an eye And now I'm hurtling Towards the void All for a bond that can't be destroyed And it's haunting me What we used to be Like a ghost in me Whispering endlessly And you know I would If I only could Be electric Electric again I sense the currents A feathered touch A heightened sense Where your fingers once brushed I serve no master But still I'm drawn To where life breaks As it enters the dawn And now I'm hurtling Towards the void All for a bond that can't be destroyed And it's haunting me What we used to be Like a ghost in me Whispering endlessly And you know I would If I only could Be electric Electric again And now I'm hurtling Towards the void All for a bond that can't be destroyed And it's haunting me What we used to be Like a ghost in me Whispering endlessly And you know I would If I only could Be electric Electric again 04. Valleys Of Gloam
It sends me back in time
From all the symbols and signs to you So I'll take down that shield again Every thought every feeling I preciously overspent Let me see every fire that's burning Let me worship the days ahead Despite a sudden change I am bound to feel the same, the same The same until the valleys of gloam call my name It breaks the silence of mine Erases words between lines too soon I would ease all those worries within a blink Drag my faith through the waters and offer you everything Let me see every fire that's burning Let me worship the days ahead Despite a sudden change I am bound to feel the same, the same The same I'd run my feet to the bone on cold and cobbled streets Anything to make you weep, to catch you in your sleep Our world was blind, but we stood side by side But then my soul went through all those darker times Let me see every fire that's burning Let me worship the days ahead Despite a sudden change I am bound to feel the same, the same The same 05. Is It In Your Darkness
Is it in your darkness
To break free from all the pain Now is it in your darkness To share your dreams with all that is sane As you speak those words and incinerate Everything you've forged from within Giving fire to the heart of your universe And lead to your dying kin You're spitting worms in all your glory Redeemer of coming deaths It's in your eyes, no one seems sorry I saw you in the shadows Just as bleak as the night Through a veil, crimson red You looked just like a child The creature keeps on leaping Through your buried soul You'll get through, if you do I'll be the first to embrace you Now is it in your darkness To rely on forgotten sins Is it in your darkness To fall from grace and let your demons win You're spitting worms in all your glory It's in your eyes, no one seems sorry I saw you in the shadows Just as bleak as the night Through a veil, crimson red You looked just like a child The creature keeps on leaping Through your buried soul You'll get through, if you do I'll be the first to embrace First to embrace First to envy you Is it in your darkness To break free from all the pain Now is it in your darkness To share your dreams with all that is sane I saw you in the shadows Just as bleak as the night Through a veil, crimson red You looked just like a child The creature keeps on leaping Through your buried soul You'll get through, if you do I'll be the first to embrace First to envy you 06. Vultures
No need for apologies
If you let me in No need for astronomy Where our space begins I've been looking for the truth In shards of evermore Now they're circling over bodies Where I used to dwell before All you vultures Hold me nameless Hold me close Hold me breathless No one knows (No one knows) That gaze in your scarlet eyes Towards the other side Short lived as a dragonfly But the end is nigh Life in itself is an unknown disease But I will try to put you at ease Those nooks and crannies Harboring light Fulgur ignis spiritus Level the veil tonight Hold me nameless Hold me close Hold me breathless No one knows (No one knows) All you vultures All you vultures Hold me nameless Hold me close Hold me breathless No one knows (No one knows) Hold me nameless Hold me close Hold me breathless No one knows 07. Morgongåva / Stormfågel

08. Death, I Hear You Calling
I know you've had the same sensation
Invitations to explore the great unknown But you never want to talk about it And I never want to talk about it Some things are better left unsaid Death, I hear you calling But I can't reply Though you've seen me falling There's still life inside Death, I hear you calling And I can't deny That you left me wanting But there's no time to die I know you've felt the pull from the electric third rail Your gaze when staring at the sky But you never want to talk about it And I never want to talk about it Some words are meant for the undead Death, I hear you calling But I can't reply Though you've seen me falling There's still life inside Death, I hear you calling And I can't deny That you left me wanting But there's no time to die Death! Death! Death! Death, I hear you calling But I can't reply Though you've seen me falling There's still life inside Death, I hear you calling And I can't deny That you left me wanting But there's no time to die There's just no time to die 09. This Godless Universe
Solve the riddle and the numbness is gone
Squeeze the trigger and the countdown is on I have a feeling that it won't be long I have a feeling that it won't be long And I have watched me from the outside Slowly shutting down The shapes and forms of beauty's downside All around We were never meant to stay Just to die another day 'Cause all we are is dust In this Godless universe Radiation from electrical minds Mass sedation and we're frozen in time I have a feeling that it won't be long I have a feeling that it won't be long And I have watched me from the outside Slowly shutting down The shapes and forms of beauty's downside All around We were never meant to stay Just to die another day 'Cause all we are is dust In this Godless universe Shades of embers still surround me Like the ghosts of something new So I'll let the void pass through me Where there once was only you 10. Dreams Of Nowhere
It reaps your soul
It won't leave you alone It runs through everything It ravages hope Believe these words Can't escape your curse You keep on treading water Taking a turn for the worst Bleeding through the blanching skin you're Offering the Gods your name Bound to see the sunrise fading The everlasting flame No, it ain't your time To waste another miracle Can you read the signs? Your burden isn't biblical All that fire inside Transcending from the physical You are damned but alive Already reached the pinnacle It's a relentless chase For the apocalyptic sake It's paved the road For your ancient pain To serve and protect Your own neglect You're falling free And in his heaven he wept Bleeding through the blanching skin you're Offering the Gods your name Bound to see the sunrise fading The everlasting flame No, it ain't your time To waste another miracle Can you read the signs? Your burden isn't biblical All that fire inside Transcending from the physical You are damned but alive Already reached the pinnacle A never dying stigma It shuts you down and let you sleep It reaps your soul It won't leave you alone It runs through everything It ravages hope Believe these words Can't escape your curse You keep on treading water Taking a turn for the worst Illuminating dreams of nowhere The darkest way to conquer your regime No, it ain't your time To waste another miracle Can you read the signs? Your burden isn't biblical Your burden isn't biblical 11. The Everlasting Flame
[Instrumental]
12. Golgata
Out of the ordinary chaos occurs
Lines that are drawn turn into a blur I'm not an empath but you know how I yearn Wrote you a message now I'm watching it burn If everything we said was nothing but lies Wish you were here to watch them wither and die I've felt the essence, I've seen the truth I've seen the end and it was nothing but you I have seen it all in your starless eyes Premonitions of one last goodbye That will take us anywhere but here 'Cause the end's all that's certain Guess I never took the easy way out Hid myself behind a shadow of doubt I've shut out the things that I have missed And deny they even exist If I could have had a final wish It's for life to be more than this But I've felt the thrill of it all And now I wait for eternity's call I have seen it in your starless eyes Premonitions of one last goodbye That will take us anywhere but here 'Cause the end's all that's certain Out of the ordinary chaos occurs Lines that are drawn turn into a blur I'm not an empath but you know how I yearn Wrote you a message now I'm watching it burn If everything we said was nothing but lies Wish you were here to watch them wither and die I've felt the essence, I've seen the truth I've seen the end and it was nothing but you I have seen it all in your starless eyes Premonitions of one last goodbye That will take us anywhere but here 'Cause the end's all that's certain I have seen it in your starless eyes Premonitions of one last goodbye That will take us anywhere but here 'Cause the end's all that's certain 13. Harvest Spine
I am the logical master
I am the thousand winds that blow Not aware of the chain reaction The diamond that glints on the coming snow A seasonal triumph, sacrificial hearts It is in your judgement but still too far A pack of your demons in circled flight Are eating me up, I'm befriending the night Set to incite Condemned by the voices in your chest Permission to burn the rest A winter inside your soul Protector of sulphur and gold Reaching harbours where the flickering light never dies Fields lie open as you fall Tend to overlook the sky that's weighing you down Lost in sleep, slothfulness, riddled by death, empty inside Harvest spine I am the 'I' in illusion What you see is the pain that you feel inside A man of seclusion Forever to bleed when I hide Abandoning spirits and offsprings Sinners and scapegoats, grains of sand Preparing your offerings As poison now runs from the palm of your hands From your hands Condemned by the voices in your chest Permission to burn the rest A winter inside your soul Protector of sulphur and gold Reaching harbours where the flickering light never dies Fields lie open as you fall Tend to overlook the sky that's weighing you down Lost in sleep (Lost in sleep), slothfulness (Slothfulness), riddled by death, empty inside Harvest spine Reaching harbours where the flickering light never dies Fields lie open as you fall Tend to overlook the sky that's weighing you down Lost in sleep, slothfulness, riddled by death, empty inside Harvest spine 14. On The Wings Of A Goddess Through Flaming Sheets Of Rain
J'ai cherche la lumière
J'ai erré aveuglément dans la nuit Mais je suis la Princesse Dragon Intouchable, inoubliable et invulnerable I've seen you in my visions Your struggles and your fears Your sudden quick decisions The mist that's drawing near And on the wings of a Goddess Through flaming sheets of rain I've come to enter this process By simply sharing your pain, your pain I've watched you wrapped in silence To quell your raging mind You never asked for guidance But I still saw the signs And on the wings of a Goddess Through flaming sheets of rain I've come to enter this process By simply sharing your pain, your pain Is this the final outcome Of all you tried to achieve? Is this what made your soul numb The day you ceased to believe? And the truth in your face As you're asking why Tiny hands just like birds Longing for the sky Tied down by your selves As their worlds collide When you try to defend All that you denied Sweet is the poison that rages through thee Freed from the dead zone enveloping me Now is the blueprint, the plan and the start I slew the past with a stake through my heart I know how they trampled you I know how they spat on you Let's not turn the other cheek We're not shallow, we're not meek We're the calm before the storm Enlightenment above the norm Let's not turn the other cheek We're not shallow, we're not meek And on the wings of a Goddess Through flaming sheets of rain I've come to enter this process By simply sharing your pain, your pain (Your pain) |
