Insomnium - Daughter Of The Moon
Trail amidst the snow-clad trees, winding is the way
Sunless is the path we roam, bitter is the air we breathe
Fell is the icy blast, coming from the hills
Blowing through my ailing heart, wailing in the emptiness inside
Vanished is the light we had, hidden deep in rimy soil
Bereft of us the one we cherished, lost for ever our love
Still at night I see her figure
Flickering on moonlit glades
But passing is the hope she's giving
Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again
The clouds are moving heavily, across the livid sky
Yonder the hues are darkening, slowly turning grey to black
For the two who stray in dusk, all hope is long since gone
Cruel is the winter's reign, merciless the grasp of despair
For what mirth there is left in life for a motherless son
What solace in this world for a widower to find
Slender the shape in night, unbearable the beauty
Shining in the silvery light, watching me with wistful eyes
Evanescent this vision, unattainable this illusion
But an image in my troubled dreams, hewn out of yearning and rue
Insomnium - Last Statement
I have come to the end of my line
With these final steps I take back my freedom
Unchain the shackles that never could hold my mind
Time keeps running and running
Outstripping the dead tired ones
The hours will run out from us all
And in the end no one differs from the other
Only the blue sky and the green grass
Go on forever in this world
Where seconds feel like eternity
And years pass in blink of an eye
When the last rays of light
Set behind these shores
Night wraps me in its blanket
And leads my way to the stars
Through the fear and the ache
Pass the storm and the rain
I have made peace with the world
I am born again
I may be gone in the flesh
But my love will stay here
I am always with you in spirit
So just stay strong
No one wins tonight
No one gets a closure
No one walks away victorious
But don’t forget me
Don’t you forget me
Burn a candle for me when you can
Agalloch - In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion
Through vast valleys I wonder
To the highest peaks
On pathways through a wild forgotten landscape
In search of God, in spite of man
'til the lost forsaken endless. . .
This is where I choose to tread
Fall. . .so shall we fall into the nihil?
The nothingness that we feel in the arms of the pale
In the shadow of the grim companion who walks with us
Here is the landscape
Here is the sun
Here in the balance of the earth
Where is the god?
Has he fallen and abandoned us?
As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
The fire in my heart is forged across the land
Here at the edge of this world
Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead
I walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be done
An offering of crimson flowed into the water below
A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away
. . .like every hope I've ever had. . .
. . .like every dream I've ever known. . .
It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world
From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea. . .
. . .wash away. . .
. . .fade away. . .
Here is the landscape
Here is the sun
Here at the edge of the earth
Where is the god?
Has he fallen to ruin?
As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand
My heathen pride is scarred across the land
Daylight Dies - I Wait
Things in this world
Seem so far away
Once again I wonder
Where I am
Somewhere someone's
Speaking
But I cannot hear
And once again it all
Falls apart
But still I wait here trying
To find some remnant of myself
My days a dull aching
Please tell me what
I'm waiting for
Things in this world
Have never seems so gray
Once again I wonder
What I've become
Somewhere somethings breaking
This world's so dead
When I cannot feel
What's in my head
Iced Earth - Watching Over Me
I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear, He's watching me
Guiding me through hard times
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Summoning - The Loud Music Of The Sky
What I am, I must not show
What I am thou could (not know)
Something between heaven and hell
Something that neither stood nor fell
Something that through thy wit or will
May work thee good, may work thee ill
Neither substance quite, nor shadow
Haunting lonely moor and meadow
Dancing by the haunted spring
Riding on the whirlwinds wing
Far less happy, for we have
Help nor hope beyond the grave
Man awakes to joy or sorrow
Ours the sleep that knows no morrow
This is all that I can show
This is all that you may know
A year there is a lifetime
And a second but a day
And an older would will meet you
Each morn' you come away
The thunder's noise is our delight
And lightning makes us day by night
And in the air we dance on high
To the loud music of the sky
Swallow The Sun - Hope
Deep into the flesh the arrow cut
From the hope of a hunter's bow
Wounded we fall
With bleeding hearts we crawl
Taking shelter from the arrows
Cut the trembling flesh
And don't let the tears tame you
Rip your arrows out
And make them cut deeper
Crush my mouth, for it still sings praises to you
Run the blood out from my throat
For I'm still your's
"And the hope will die
When the curtains fall
And silence the pain"
We drink from the well
The well of poisoned hope
Until the water will burn
All pure hearts away
Keep your eyes on the wounds
Those rivers will run dry soon
Will it leave you wanting more
The taste of flesh that bleeds in your honour
And nissan, was it completely necessary that you post 4 times in a row?
