Novembers Doom - The Knowing lyrics



Tracks



01. Awaken

My eyes open with dawn.
The sun shines on my face.
I will die someday,
until that day,
I embrace the knowing.

02. Harmony Divine

Come follow me,
in the dark void running away from the burning of the fallen sun.
The pain I have shown you is more than anyone could endure,
It is your end as shown in a dream.

I can carry you, far from this place,
only time will heal, the truth I give.
Empathy for the helpless ones,
I can't save them all from the darkness that encircles us,
but now is not your time,
I forbid this to be.

You can't run forever, It touches all.
All love is lost, in the eye of the flame.

Sacrifice in the name of your God,
to splendor in life and wallow in fear of the days you await,
but now is not your time,
I take you with me.

In harmony, I break my smile.
Vertigo, the truth is revealed.

Careless, sin-filled life, mourning,
before your end.
Help me, I cannot see,
I am blind, to all that surrounds me.
Falling, from my grasp, reach out, and take my hand.

Fearful, inner child.
Dreaming, your time away.
Curse the day, I saw your face,
for now I see, your tragic end.
Forward into life's calling,
and reap its pleasures divine.

03. Shadows Of Light

A dream, shown to me by countless shapes.
Visions that will never leave my mind.
Voices that cry out to me.
Saddened by the wars within,
and lifted high above the crowds below.

Spirit felt promises that wind the clocks of time,
and pass me by in a sudden rage of light.

In shadows I am prophecy.
In sunlight I am death.
On water I will always walk.
In fire no one burns.
Falling far from crimson skies,
all eyes rest upon me.
Enchanting winds that call your name,
and place fear in your smile.

I have been shown the end of my world,
and the beginning of the new age.

Red is cast upon my eyes.
I dream of the rain and smile.
Vary your speed to which you live,
and count every last grain of sand.

Clouds invade my thought no more.
Sunlight has drifted away.
May the moon above guide me, and save me from my pain.

Forgive me not, I'm losing control.
I fear the dreams that dance within.
How can I ever leave?
The goad of your tongue plunges into my soul

04. Intervene

Instrumental

05. Silent Tomorrow

Eternity, a gift I no longer want.
Forever, I can't go on with these endless nights.
My sanity has been stripped away.
Everything is beauty, and I have no love to share.

Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.

Each time I close my eyes, I only wish for my end to come.
No angels sing for me, and the light of my life dims away.

Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.

Crippled by fear, the sights I see.
No means to this end.
This is my only way.

Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.

06. In Faith

Falling down, far from Grace.
Confusing me, for these gifts I have received.
Challenging, the faith I have in tomorrow.
Open eyes, to witness this miracle.

Cure the sick, or destroy a world, this gift is mine, to wield its strength.
What's right and wrong,
It's my decision, no man alive, can deny me that.

Cloudy skies, and blood-filled moons, worldwide plagues, and raging tides.
Seven signs, to the end of time, this is all lies, I hold the only key.

Why can't you see, I can show you his face.
If every fear of your life, can only be swept away.

Believe in my sanity, carried by faith,
the truth that binds, the words I speak.
Thunder claps, and angels cry, inside this prophet,
behold a new Messiah.

I can take you far away, far from your scarlet lives.
I hold tomorrow's fate and grip this entity.

Trust in me, I'll tell you all of final beauty, and dying smiles.
Put your faith in me.
Falling.

07. Searching The Betrayal

I have searched for the words and emptiness is all I find.
The countless lies of love that fell from spoken dreams.

What do I say to a man who knows my thoughts?
I thought I loved you in the lifetime we shared,
but I always knew you were never the one.
Even though you made me your queen,
the feelings for you never grew.

Wasted time in life pass by, shattered mirrors we built as one.
An aging world of broken hearts
and I am added to the long list of souls.
I'll never regret giving my all for you and to my grave,
your betrayal will die.

If we could go back, and repeat this life again,
I would stop at the day my love failed you.
I would pray to above for those feelings to return,
and not let my wandering eyes take me from you.
Know in my heart, that there is a place,
that your disappointment has broken.

08. Last God

Please take this away,
I never wanted this pain.
Why have you left me here all alone?
I will always cry for you.
Catching the fallen tears from my eyes,
dreaming of life with you,
all is lost tonight.

This pain is killing me,
there's nothing that I can do.
The visions of your face,
Makes my stomach sick.
You were stripped from me,
when my back was turned.
I should have been there for you,
It should be me that's gone.

I can't let you win,
I just won't walk away.
It's time I see the end, and leave this gift behind.
You're no friend to me,
You've caused me too much pain.
So you step beyond my grasp,
escape this last God's fate.

In chambers light, you pine over me and I can only look upon you and smile.
I wish the pain would disappear.
A frigid breath on the back of your neck,
a soft glowing voice that you always hear.
I'm sorry for the pain,
I'm sorry for the lies.
with open arms, I await you.

An emptiness I can never fill,
a loss of all my being.
Carry away my lust for your taste.
A blue rose for my soiled life.
Reliving our moments over again,
consumes my every day.

No more can I keep going on with this guilt,
You've taken everything that I care about.
Eating away at my own pathetic life,
the skies have turned to blood on this very night.
I will see you again, and I tremble at the thought.

09. In Memories Past

The scent of you is always on my mind,
searching for the strength to carry on.
Buried deep within my soul,
your memory will punish me.
I no longer see a future with your smile.

When shadows fall dark upon your stone,
and dying leaves have covered all the words,
I hold the answers to the questions that I dare not speak.
In this darkest hour I'm alone.

A careless walk through fields of virtue,
and calling out to every shattered dream.
Circling the innermost thoughts,
for this is the day I have truly died.

The scent of you is always on my mind,
searching for the strength to carry on.
Buried deep within my soul,
your memory will punish me.
I no longer see a future with your smile.

When shadows fall dark upon your stone,
and dying leaves have covered all the words,
I hold the answers to the questions that I dare not speak.
In this darkest hour I'm alone.

10. The Day I Return

I can't believe, the hell that has taken my life.
Stripped me away, from every hope and dream.
Countless days, for a thousand years,
in a cold and lonely place,
I right the wrongs.

On solid ground, and a mind now clear,
it all seems to have left me,
forever wanting no more.
Picking up the shards,
of my broken life and placing each piece in perfect harmony.

This is the day,
The day I return,
to claim my victory,
and laugh in man's face.
To once again take a breath,
and not fight back a single tear.

To hold my head up high,
and unveil my pride once again.
To live a life of normal days,
and sleep an entire night.

Nothing but pain will rest on my mind.
Never forgetting the smile she gave.
Spending my days, thinking of you, knowing
that we will be one again.
Return to me.

11. Aura Blue

Today, I am a different man, yesterday was meaningless.
I once saw with the sight of a God,
and I hear the voices pray.
My dreams were reality, even the darkest of all cast aside.

It reaches out to grab my throat,
and squeeze the breath from me,
to show me sights of days to come,
and nights of restlessness.
In a good man's heart, a gift this would truly be,
but left in my hands,
lies a cold bitter fear.

So I awake with a newfound friend,
who begs me to play,
who taunts one tired eye,
and I shudder to think of what I've become,
as my journey has ended, to capture my ease.

My pride has returned,
and life is anew,
accepting my fate,
and remembrance of what I saw, of what I lived.
Sleep.

With closed eyes, I dream of your return and in the darkness,
I again see a light.
A perfect glow of aura blue,
with open arms I greet my old friend.

12. Silent Tomorrow

Eternity - A gift I no longer want.
Forever - I can't go on with these endless nights.
My sanity has been stripped away.
Everything is beauty, and I have no love to share.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Each time I close my eyes, I only wish for my end to come.
No angels sing for me, and the light of my life dims away.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
Crippled by fear, the sights I see.
No means to this end.
This is my only way.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
