    1/14

    1. Shadow In Our Blood

    We are delusionalTo go against mortalityStill we fight, love and createAs the only creaturesIn on life's grand secretWe sense the pointlessness beyond

    There is a void between our handsThat drown the sounds of nightAn arrow laced with liquid darknessFor every sungods heart

    It has always been right hereLike a shadow in our bloodIt waits for you and meThe shadow in our blood

    We are delusionalFrom fictional realityTo prayers for prosperityLonelinessCan we resist your pale attraction

    Give in to the dream with open eyes

    How will this world within a world live onAnother page torn from the book of strangersWho says "I" when all voices fear their own soundAnd who remembers the hours

    It has always been right hereLike a shadow in our bloodIt waits for you and meThe shadow in our blood

    Here in the barren and still

    Far from the shores of realDreams borne beyond bordersOn weave of thought and wantHere were invincible

    It has always been right hereLike a shadow in our bloodIt waits for you and meThe shadow in our blood

    2. Dream Oblivion

    He takes a standAnd looks his enemy in the eyeThis goes no further

    I have the upper handThis ends on my termsI challenge non-existenceEvery single day

    The end of mind

    2/14

    End of freedomEnd of everything

    A most violent eventBreaks individualityAnd turns out your shadow

    In devastating lightThat push against our eyeDance to the bloodsongIn dream oblivion

    He makes a pointOf sticking to the lie

    This is the last timeI'm now done with thisI carry my nothingEvery single day

    The end of mindEnd of freedomEnd of everything

    Now with reality on endThe fall of all moralityDance to the bloodsong

    In devastating lightThat push against our eyeDance to the bloodsongIn dream oblivion

    The end of faithEnd of meaningEnd of everthing

    3. The Fatalist

    Eventually they'll comeYour name has been calledOut for aeonsTo claim the bloodAnd salvage what remains

    For once we've seen the fragile natureOf things behind these windowsWhere nothing livesAnd nothing ends

    And seen what drives the hopelessIn between their closing yellowed walls

    The day has comeYou are the fatalistThe day has comeYou are the fatalistYou walk on soil that dreams of blood

    3/14

    How can we fight fatigue?In pre-historic sorrow?When all is preordainedThe cycle never ends

    What once had been an endless realmOf possibility and dreamNow laid to waste and ruinLaid to waste againYou wash your hands in blood

    You squander timeWe borrow from eternityIs it another lame excuse?

    The day has comeYou are the fatalistThe day has comeYou are the fatalistYou walk on soil that dreams of blood

    You are the fatalist

    If nothing changes

    Then nothing ends

    Your thoughts are brokenYour reasoning is flawedThe defense is just an actAnd lies are all you've got

    You are the fatalistYou are the fatalist

    How easy we can see?Defeat behind your argumentThe fatalistic smile

    The day has comeYou are the fatalistThe day has comeYou are the fatalistYou walk on soil that dreams of blood

    The day has comeThe day has comeYou walk the ground that screams for murder

    4. In My Absence

    Eyes that meet to say farewellAnd linger through the sleepless nightsA trail of days that end in tearsBut I can never be there

    The rush of hours that never seem to endWhat life has dealt you can not comprehendI am the absentee

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    4/14

    I know you're out there searching tonightI'm right hereAnother day and I cannot see through your eyes,I'm right here

    How could I have known what preceded your own thoughtsWish that I could listen to what only speaks insideEvery raging dissonanceEach jarring noteBut I could never be there

    How could you think that I would understandWhen words just go around what the heart truly wants?I am the absentee

    I know you're out there searching tonightI'm right hereAnother day and I cannot see through your eyes,I'm right here

    I want to tell you,Of the exploding lightHow everything is visibleMoments before the dark

    I am never, never there

    I know you're out there searching tonightAnother day and I'm not there

    Thrust with nails of conflictAnxiety and painThrough spells of anger, confusion and defeatI wish you'd see me here in front of you,But I am not here

    I know you're out there searching tonight

    I'm right hereAnother day and I cannot see though your eyes

    I know your out there,But I'm right hereAnother day and I cannot see though your eyes,Lead me right

    5. The Grandest Accusation

    What if you are an island of sorrowThen I'll be the raging sea

    What if you are the reaching treesThen I'll be the storm that with fire rages

    The new lonelinessYour name on the doorJust like a diagnoseFor venomous disease

    Man is the cemetery for unlived lifeAll for nought

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    5/14

    The grand accusation

    Your face is your nameWord and shieldSharp as a curse

    Man is the cemetery for unlived lifeAll for noughtThe grand accusation

    You chose rejectionOver thoughts of insightYou take actionFrom focus on intentAnd brace for impactNot waiting for the fall

    What cries here, cries insideMan is the cemetery of unlived lifeThe grand accusation

    What if you were a country of griefWith me the invading forceWhat if you were to measure the hollow

    That captivates and devours you

    The new lonelinessYour name on the doorJust like a diagnoseFor venomous disease

    Man is the cemetery for unlived lifeAll for nought

    6. At The Point Of Ignition

    Do not hide your sorrow,Or banish it from sightTake it out to burn,Turn the pain against it

    In a day, that holds no otherWhat are we? The fuel or the flame?In a life, that hides behind youWhat are you? The fuel or the flame?

    In the proud momentum,Thrust the hand from the startOur fragile fate falls apart

    I hear you in my echo,A few steps behindI see you in my shadow, waiting inside

    What if we don't question the meaning of it allThe answer in our systemBound to kill the spark

    The moments so illusive

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    6/14

    One dream never endsScorns the doubting nomadsThat burn another trail

    In a day that holds no otherWhat are we? The fuel or the flame?In the life, that hides behind youWhat are you?

    The shine of trembling stars,Out in the distantCurse this lack of site,Into darkness without end

    In a day that holds no otherWhat are we? The fuel or the flame?In a life that hides behind youWhat are you? The fuel or the flame?

    In a day that holds no otherWhat are we?In a life that hides behind youWhat are you? What are you?

    7. Her Silent Language

    Why do I see her, the never ending nights?Why do I see her, wearing nothing but the dark?

    Have you come here to warn meOf what I cannot see?You want to tell me somethingBut you do not have the words

    I know where you liveI can see through your darkness

    And when you sleepI hear a heart that beats you

    Have you come here to warn meOf what I cannot see?You want to tell me somethingBut you do not have the words

    Eyes far into the distanceA life that does not connectTime played well its partOn the strings that bind us

    Encounters in silenceWords elude the freeing nightWish I could fathomWhat is too hard to tell

    Her head hangs lowIn the silence of her roomHer head hangs lowShe takes a bite out of her heart

    7/14

    Have you come here to warn meOf what I cannot seeYou want to tell me somethingBut you do not have the words

    8. Arkhangelsk

    Willed by winter's so called frostFix the in anxieties from gripThe frost that burned the honoreesUnderneath the heavy cloudsThe lifted sword, the broken shieldThe hand that drew the final wordFrom the frozen mouth of Arkhangelsk

    Let them go, let them burn the world to cindersLet the rats run downFalling through the tungsten skiesThe burning clouds of Arkhangelsk

    To the eye of judgement nowWhat will stand when time of the end (time of the end)?

    Center stone, into fireAll to nothing and nothing to loseThey gather groaning to the soulsOf the grinding wheels of Arkhangelsk

    With one word, one movement in the fabricEverything diesThe storm that sweeps the world awayFrom the frozen plains of Arkhangelsk

    Inherit from the morning starWhat others broughtAnd the land, forgot

    Soaring through van allen beltsThrough blazing stars, through dying sunsCollide not now, but carry usThrough the burning air of Arkhangelsk

    9. I Am The Void

    Drink this water againThat runs by without memoryWhere your name is lostDrink and forget yourself

    This featureless streamThat carries your face further onThese waters know youIt calls you by your one true name

    Have you ever noticedThe spaces in-betweenWhere life is in recessionAnd agony begins?

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    8/14

    I am the callI speak inside of youI am the voidThat haunts youI am the howlThat calls you outI am the voidI am the... void!

    You rest your weary headOn to the underworldAnd let the silent whispersGuide your waking dreamsIn time with the pulseOf what is long since goneThe beat of the fallenIs cold already in your blood

    The machinery of chaosComes alive in youChained to the grinding wheelOf forces unseen

    I am the call

    I speak inside of youI am the voidThat haunts youI am the howlThat calls you outI am the voidI am the... void!I am the void!

    You have always been between another set of wallsOutside of which the world is watching down on youInside the silence speaksKept close to the endless alibi

    Never reaching outNever give in

    I am the callI speak inside of youI am the voidThat haunts youI am the howlThat calls you outI am the voidI am the void

    10. Surface The Infinite

    It starts belowThe pile and the burning in theDarkness in the recipeAnd fire in the soulTo paralyze and strangle hold

    Disable the designThe remnants of reality

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    9/14

    In our measured timeIs torn apart

    We carry our fear inside,A space that hold the darknessWe stretch our skin around,To cover the abyss

    The smirk on our realityAt the future we foreseeBlood that seeks redemptionIn endless nights of sinSpades without spearsThat pierce the blinding sun

    We heard from the heralds of griefThat nothing remains

    We carry our fear inside,A space that hold the darknessWe stretch our skin around,To cover the abyss

    Breaks into day

    Upsets the systemIt's in our nature to bearThe hidden to the end

    What if this feeling contains the truth?What if our dreams give way to the dogma of old?What if lost desire can be found?

    No shelter, no barriers between what's already insideBetrays what the surface holds

    We wear our livesOn waters and dust

    Like daemons of the lostStill wrapped in our own confusion,The call of the abyss

    We carry our fear inside,A space that hold the darknessWe stretch our skin around,To cover the abyss

    11. Iridium

    Let the horizon lead

    Onto the ether of the nightDraped across the burning heavensFlying homeward like a bird of the soul

    Shattered into a million brighter starsEach flare unique and rareScattered across foreverOut from creation's coreAn end beyond compareIridium

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    10/14

    Now is the time to leaveWe lie awake, we stand afireAt the edge of the worldAbove a myriad of lightBelow the mantle of the starsAnd strangely they fall

    Shattered into a million brighter starsEach flare unique and rareScattered across foreverOut from creation's coreAn end beyond compareIridium

    Shattered into a million brighter starsEach flare unique and rareScattered across foreverOut from creation's coreAn end beyond compareAn end beyond compareIridium

    12. Zero Distance

    [Tour Edition Bonus Track]

    HeeeyWhat is your life about today?

    A pit of emptinessA close resemblanceTo what you thought was right or wrongYou don't belongThe face you hold is false

    Drawn to the darkest emotionsSworn to the vortex of griefDisguised as empathyIt's not supposed to beI know you're faking itSo take a look around

    [Chorus]Zero distanceFrom where do you see yourself?Zero distanceHow far are you willing to go?

    A broken perspectiveThat you impose on the innocentYour fallen set of standards

    You go beyond what is decisively humanTake from others what you do not haveWhat you cannot ownWear the maskBe the mask

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    11/14

    You hide behindYou're not supposed to seeI know you're faking itSo take a look around

    [Chorus]Zero distanceFrom where do you see yourself?Zero distanceHow far are you willing to go?

    Zero distanceCan you see what I see?Zero distanceHow far are you already gone?

    To the end of what you fearTake a hold of that outmost misery

    Oh!

    I want to see you showDisgust for sympathyHonour and bravery

    I know you're faking itSo take a look around

    [Chorus]Zero distanceFrom where do you see yourself?Zero distanceHow far are you willing to go?

    13. Out Of Gravity

    [Japanese and Tour Editions Bonus Track]

    Each and every nightMy heart shoulders the armourAnd charges into the darkTo slay what took you from meBut there in the eye of the preyI see my reflectionThe armour now shatters to piecesUntil I hear the call again

    Alone I set out to find youBelow the timelineAlone and far from the stars

    I walk out of gravity

    As lightning scorns the nightAnd conspires with the sunken seasOut there are hunters of the invisibleTacking mere dust for daysOn cracked soil now they walkOn ground that has lost it's hold

    Alone I set out o find you

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    12/14

    Below the timelineAlone and far from the starsI walk the nether paths

    In void-like silenceThrough veins of manA new disease breaks our groundBy venomous sorrow's hand

    It caught me by surpriseThe sudden weight of my own bloodGravitate towards the endA pull that offers no option

    So steep my longingI give in to vertigoWhipping of cold black tonguesPoisons my wounds

    Alone I set out o find youBelow the timelineAlone and far from the starsI walk out of gravity

    14. Star Of Nothingness

    [Japanese/Limited/Tour Editions Instrumental Bonus Track]

    15. To Where Fires Cannot Feed

    [Limited and Tour Editions Bonus Track]

    We throw ourselvesLike rocks against the heavens

    To call to us attentionAnd set our sights for higher ground

    Weaved within the nervous systemOf our planet and the vows we keepThe dormant fragmentsOf self-destructing code

    Into the emptinessWhere fires cannot feedNo way to holdThe burden of love alive

    We nod at each other from across the open plain graveAnd go to memories to visit our own lives

    We hide in the bodies of greater beingsTogether as one in the face of endless trials

    You carry my lifeInside you my only witnessOur hands held againstIn suffering

  • 7/28/2019 Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void (2010) Lyrics

    13/14

    Into the emptinessWhere fires cannot feedNo way to holdThe burden of love alive

    16. The Bow And The Arrow

    [iTunes and Tour Editions Bonus Track]

    the print you leftbear just witnessto the forceful pushwith which you thrust yourselfout from this worldyour own very beinglaunched away from thistemporary hold

    you are never gonethe letters of your namea scar that never heals

    so be the bow and the arrowbe the rope and the angered screamas time now eats awayat the unmarked gravesand indifferent winds take speedover lands of uncertaintyto hold what can be heldagainst the coming dark

    in the minds of the hollowhollowed outyour words rang once so true

    you are never gonethe letters of your namea scar that never healsyou are never gonefor you are ours nowwe hold you in our hearts

    there are still tremorsthe occational sparksa voice unheardfrom the empty void (you left behind)

    we can still feel it

    your body turned loose in the darknessgrief as the razorwithin these walls of skinto the end of foreverto the end

    you are never gonethe letters of your namea scar that never heals
