THE DUSKFALL LYRICS

1. The Light

One man in his darkness, lying in his tomb
waiting for the silence to greet his final moon
Shadows start to gather, embracing his release
a journey to the darkside, a forever rest in peace

There will be light if you believe
just let your memories flow free

Show me light where only shadows breed
embrace my soul and set me free

Honoured in remembrance, locked in precious mind
mourned among the living - a hurt that never dies
Kept alive through heartbeats, and within bloodline
failed to be forgiven, erased by human kind

2. Age Of Errors

A final departure - from this world we know
a race lost in a dreamworld
we've reaped the seeds we've sown
One fatal error - of the human race
we're burning our candles
as we end up in flames

This is the final stage
the end of human race
Lets crawl back in...to our caves

Let us arise, the sun sets dawn
another era of life will be born
we'll end this story but we carry on - somewhere, somehow...

A recollection, of what we've done
a case lost in a dreamworld
we were of chaos spawned
We have scorned the stillborned and ripped up the soil
we've unleashed the madness
that tear this world apart

3. Agoraphobic

So you think you are safe, and nothing can hurt you
it's all an illusion, created from lies
made yourself a safehouse, no one can get in
but you are the prisoner, in your imaginary world

You should take a look - at the concrete maze
cause you'll die alone

Yes your loosing grip, though you never had control
never going back, cause insanity takes hold
and now you're walking away...

And in the dark corners, your demons dwell
haunting your mind, infecting the cells
you're lost in your hallways, the walls are closing in
built your house for protection, and now you're crippled by fear

4. Poison The Waters

Take a sip of this my friend
a little grey water won't hurt
A sample of your own mistakes
the more destruction, the higher the stakes

Climb down from your pediestal
if you can't show us how to act
A little suffering is all it takes
and you have so much to gain

Drain the world from what it's got
let the inhabitants drown in your sewage
thirst for more

Stretch out to the heavens
and pull it down

No antidote for your followers
greed survives lives morals
Your love fills up graveyards
and let children starve in their cradles

5. None

Born of perfection, emotions must die
a surface soo flawless - still empty inside
A search for enlightment, with blindfolded eyes
if truth came to visit - you would kill it with lies
Uncover the world cause I'm sick of it all...

Stand and deliver, behold what is yours
you're blind to the darkness, no heaven above
I've stared at your image, uncovered your soul
controlled by the standards, unable to know
Uncover the world cause I'm sick of it all...

I am none, alone in my paradise- I shed my tears in forgivness

Wake, wake me - Uncover the world
Hate, hatebreed - I'm sick of it all

Born of perfection, emotions must die
a surface soo flawless - still empty inside
A search for enlightment, with blindfolded eyes
if truth came to visit - you would kill it with lies
Uncover the world cause I'm sick of it all...

6. Farewell Song

I can't hear a sound of the world above
above the ground I lie underneath it all
So damn sick of everything, sick of loosing grip

I choose to lose control - one last time
Goodbye, farewell - you know where you can find me

Taking control...

And yes I do miss my life, the way it was
the smiles and laughters turned into dark days
I couldn't be saved... I am

7. Frailty

I'm here tonight with a will to find
extracting the moments to live
What no one knows, cause they're never told
we're empty til' the day we die
Skip a breath and figure out the rest
you're one of the billions to go
Extract your heart, cause it's fragile art
it's time to make peace with your fears

Take all the blows, don't regret a thing
our anthem will be sung out loud
Take all the blows, don't regret a thing
don't show me how frail you are

Take all the blows, and let it go - we are empty now

I was there a night and I took my flight
to the place we once feared
Now I've learned to live with all my heart
I know I wasn't that far
Skip a breath and figure out the rest
you're one of the billions to go
Extract your heart, it's fragile art
it's time to make peace with your fears

Take all the blows, and never bow
find peace when in death
Take all the blows, and let it go
we are empty now

8. Tune Of Slaughtered Hearts

Have you ever felt the scars
touched the wounds of a slaughtered heart?
I greet you to my world, come join me, I hope you'll learn
(as your emotions burn)
There's nothing more to say, don't walk my path, just turn away
so wipe that smile my friend, this is my life in vain
(in a race towards time )

I'd drink the world to drown the pain living in me
that's far from right, but hey I'm never wrong?
So give me strenght to face the day this final time
I'll change my ways and face my fears

So here I go again, the future's lost and my past still burns
I search within wondering what's wrong, same old story, same old song
(the tune of slaughtered hearts)
I have always been alone, since the day when I was born
So come, bring on the war, show me what I was created for
(there must be more to life than this?)

9. Just Follow

Am I mentally weak?
as the masses, acting like rats
And now killing eachother
and it feels like they deserve it
Denied all the lies so far
begging for the fall
The smiling plague that we are
don't think it doesn't suite you, just follow...

And now they all walk through the flames
and still they follow them blindly

Let's give in to the madness
as so many times before
History repeats itself
what a happy ending
Denied all the lies so far
begging for the fall
The smiling plague that we are
don't think it doesn't suite you, just follow...

10. Deliverance

Show me a place, where nothing is wrong
where thruth sets the standards, and lies are forlorn
A place we all dream of, were greed wasn't born
a world without chaos, with no love torn

So bring deliverance, and heal all vicious wounds
reroute all mankind, the jester of the fools
Bring forth salvation, unleash us from our fate
come bear our burdens, before it is too late

Under the skies we're reborn, unleashed from covenant sins
into the dawn we are one, walking towards what's right

Show me a face, where nothing is wrong
a body that's flawless, a mind yet untorn
Wipe out the heavens, to end all the wars
life has no meaning, when the world is no more

11. Unspoken

[2005 Special Edition Bonus Track]

You're my world
The light of my life
I die
These moments we part
You embrace my heart
And pierce through my soul
Your eyes are like oceans
For reasons I drown

No man or God can keep us apart
Withhold my emotions
And tear through this heart
At night I whisper
Your name in the dark
At dawn I awake
But the dream is still dead
And I smile

[Pre-chorus:]
And I smile
At the memories
As they live for eternity

[Chorus:]
You will
Embrace my heart and consume my soul
You eyes are [unintelligible]
Your eyes are [unintelligible]
You will embrace my heart and consume my soul
For reasons I drown

You're my world
The light of my heart
I cry
These moments we part
You embrace my heart
Stare into my soul
Your eyes are like oceans
For reasons I drown

[Pre-chorus:]
And I smile
At the memories
As they live for eternity

[Chorus:]
You will
Embrace my heart and consume my soul
You eyes are [unintelligible]
Your eyes are [unintelligible]
You will embrace my heart and consume my soul
For reasons I drown

[Solo]

You eyes are [unintelligible]
Your eyes are [unintelligible]
For reasons I drown

You will
Embrace my heart and consume my soul
You will
Embrace my heart and consume my soul
