DARK FLOOD LYRICS

1. Hearts Into Museums

The history is gone
The plague of our time
Giving wings to children
In the heavy presence of oceans

Letters from death row
Hummed in songs bygone
Farewells reach back the centuries
Now humble by death

And came the great end
When things were just beginning
Youth peeked through the skin
In animal spirit
And in covert longing

I carve my name to the last tree
To mark my final territory
The count of days for symmetry
And the universe is solitary

2. Misery Is Music

Misery has become a music
Silence has a professional tone
Yes I could play along
But it's a wordless song

It's woeful giant's sluggish walk
A hidden virtue
In a discontinuous talk

It's the end of the world
A glimpse of a light
Shows a few wounds I had
In defeated fight

Orphan spirits
And a love child's part
A wish of something good to come
In a little boy's eyes
A sudden smile
Of a random stranger

Sigh is a silent note
Yes I could play along
But I have hands of stone

A croon is a clear note
Yes I could sing along
But it's a wordless song

It's woeful giant's sluggish walk
A hidden virtue
In a discontinuous talk

It's the end of the world
A glimpse of a light
It's carved in mind
When something is said nice

3. The Fallibles

Mornings from the east
This time infallibly
In the morning
In great understanding
Enlightened

There is no new beginning
No alternative end
There is no such meaning for this
There is no plan B

How quiet we are these evenings
It leaves your palms passive
And I survey through your runaway eyes
And your tones of goodbyes

And you find yourself dreaming
In the small hour minute
The fingers fumble the leavings
If there’s something left to give

And you lay your body rest
On the side of the sea
Just to be able to escape
While I’m still asleep

We look for another view
Mornings from the east
This time infallibly
In the morning
In great understanding
Enlightened

4. Culprit's Script

Keep it quiet forever
You have read a culprit's script
Now I run out of sight
With a face of a mercury

No other characteristics
Than the palms calloused in fists
The winter-chilled lips
That shared a few cold kisses

Keep it quiet forever
It's my childhood's only crime
Memories just stories
Images of Necropolis

And repentance has bent my posture
Like photos put to rest
Silhouette of an old man
Vital signs through my chest

Keep it quiet forever
It is my childhood's only crime
I didn't say
My mouth was shut
I underline

Whatever I did
I did it not
I wear a cross forever
Like a sinner hides in a lie
I underline

Like a sinner hides in a lie
The compassion will be measured
Put a heart once in their hands
They will chase you to the desert

5. Force Of Nature

Today we forget something for good
The names of our children
Names on the sheets of paper

The night froze the water in furrows
Cold spell settled in for a while
Lingered here those early hours

Our future in family graves
Our past in lines of blood
Breathed the scent of strangers
Into these familiar rooms

They will mark this earth with ruins
And walk the way of five senses
Faces against the wind

They will measure the destination
From the distance
And the mountains height
More than they seem

Chambers into the mature soil
Berths in the felled woods
In the garden of our heritors
The foundation of future cities

We dug our own graves on time
Long before the Heaven heard
Our comfortless cries

6. The Voice Of Absolution

Give me the apocalypse
For I have scorched the remaining ground
Or other grand emotions
For I have felt the all great loving

Move the world back to its threshold
For there’s no stead for the future here
Give a judgement in the break of dawn
For I made a fortune in perishable dreams

Reveal the truths from the ends of the earth
For it’s too low to speak the commonplace
Take this guilt from the hearts of men
For no one confessed the violence

Choose me the side to believe in
For I have shouted at the borders for years
Let the rain come as waves of relief
For deserts born to where once was deep

Leave one seat free for an absentee
For the south of the river I rowed
Talk to me with the voice of absolution

How I long for an amnesty
For there’s no value for my name to give

7. Never-Ending Credits

I tell you something
I tell you what
Pain is something
You'll never learn

I’m starving artist suffering
While inspiration flows
My time’s constantly ending
Like this is the time

And I tell you something
Tell you these words
The body remembers
As long as it hurts

When my chances are fading
Instance by instance
I join the dust
And so it becomes my lust

The winds have been fair to me
As long as I see
Pariahs will soon see the sun
On the edge of a dream

And I tell you something
Tell you these words
It's too late tonight
To drag me into the light
I’ll keep these credits to myself

And I tell you something
Tell you these words
The body remembers
As long as it hurts

It’s not coincidental
A rebel dies young
Lay garlands on barricade
Cast the crown aside

I had a little credulous luck
But less faith than yesterday
My heart’s barely functional
But mouth spoken dry

And being innocent
For all the things I have done
I leave a cold streak behind me
Being ungrateful for what I became
Throw my body into sea

8. Summer

I've been drinking oblivion
Forsaken my gods for sense of freedom
And then one morning' s tide
Another story flows to the ocean

The foliage has turned sheer
And the fragrances come strong
And the world of freedom
Closes the borders
For the shadow of the fall

And life goes in circles
What goes in circles
Never ends
And life goes on in circles
One moment poorer

You carry the branches
For the winter's rushing fast
The summer is still in your hair

Keep the fires up
For the days ahead
The summer is still in your hair

And then one morning's tide
You have turned the page to another

I've been drinking oblivion
Forsaken my gods for sense of freedom
And the ocean leaves me on the shore

And the world of freedom
Closes the borders
For the shadow of the fall

9. Inverno

[Instrumental]

10. Archetype's Aspect

Is there a method to this madness
Would it make any difference at all
Just a moratorium before this aspect
Turns to nothing more than the frivolous cries
Of all those who couldn't follow the call

The same mirage as from afar
The hypocrites line up for all time
Garrulous horde marching on and in unison go
We're just a number on our way to the gallows of fall

Take this picture to the heart
Masquerade coming apart
Just as sparrows high and far
Freedom is just another farce
The human way of ignoring it all
Visceral thoughts leading the cattle home

Give this vision a somber sigh
Resolve the madness eye to eye
Give this vision a somber sigh
Take your time and realize
It’s just another lie

Give this vision a somber sigh
Resolve the madness eye to eye
Take your time and realize
They’re just another lie

Contradictions and misconceptions
Shining as a beacon to dull the mind
An epoch to lead the blind
Into a mindless archetype
