Dark Tranquillity

In Sight

we are to be something here again
we are to play soldiers now, pretend
we are born inside these endless halls of shame
we are jaded by the error-ways of man

it doesn't make us strong
it doesn't make us strong
the things that i find stranger here
will not let us in
will not let us in
show me, i won't tell
and even if i go today
i won't understand
understand

we are to be something we are not
we are to repeat our faults my friend
we are taken down from sanity's lonely heights
we are shown the downward spiral ways of man

it doesn't make us strong
it doesn't make us strong
the things that i find stranger here
will not let us in
no, they will not let us in
show me, i won't tell
'cause even if i die today
i won't understand
understand


6. No-One

uncontrolled spaces
lifeless til provoked
deep uncharted oceans
nonexistent til claimed
great raging fires
silent

when there is no one
when no one is mine
the no one is me
the no one is me
me, me, me, me

tall reaching branches
pointless to even try
countless flaming cities
measured without cost
all-seeing eyes
without stories to tell

inside the orchard there's a scent of devilry
as was in my heart
...the sweetness overripe...
rancid in attempt to overcome the shackles
if only the soil could hold

when there is no one
when no one is mine
the no one is me

when there is no one
when no one is mine
the no one is me
the no one is me

when there is no one
when no one is mine
the no one is me
the no one is me

the wide open wound
won't heal without purpose
it never stops
the wide open wound
that never heals
the no one is me
the no one is me
