VATTNET VISKAR LYRICS

1. Dawnlands

It's hard to imagine
What this place was like before
When the land was sovereign
When the houses lined the streets

Those days have gone
A vulgar future is coming
The child of greed has built his house
In the place that I call home

And I wonder,
Will it ever change
All my ill-fated memories die with the past

So lay down your roads
The heat boils the pavement
And pick clean the bones
Leave the bodies by the wayside

2. Colony

This place is ours
It's time we took it back
Now we drag the net

Let us end this masquerade
And rise to our rightful place
With the hands of gods we strike
We strike you down

01010111 01000101

...Are the new lords
The ancient ones born again
You've learned nothing in all your time

The nexus calls
The pulse has been sent
The trumpets are blowing
The process is ending

In our ignorant bliss
We have been surpassed
We are not in control
The window is closed

3. Yearn

We reach for the sun
Reach for the sun

Nature, deny
Live in lies
Eat the light
Wither and die

We reach for the sun
Reach for the sun
And we fall

Fall

4. Impact

I stood upon the ground with legs of fire
And I leapt (sic) into the sky
A life of burning desire
Carry me into the night

On this cold morning
I fly into the arms of god
I really do not want to say goodbye

Light the fuse
And let me go
I'm off to touch the future
It's time for a new world view

Seven
Three
Eternity
I sleep when I reach the sea

A child unaware
A family standing in awe
I look back and wonder
What happened here

Now I rain upon you
Now I rest upon a pillar of smoke

5. Glory

Lock up the old wisdom
Throw away the key
Brought down the forgotten road
Where have you gone

It's hard to see
What you've become
But you'll always be so beautiful to me

Perspective is a strange thing
Was luck his after all?

A small shell of old glory
This greedy place won't let you go
How do I show you
What you've been to me?

6. Heirs

Something has gone horribly wrong
This was never the plan
We've followed this tangent to it's (sic) bitter end
Now there's no escape
God help us all

We shouldn't be here
We should not speak
We are the remnants of an error
We should not speak

True evil was born that day
In the toxic water

Take me back to the beginning
Pull the cord
On this dying machine

I want a front row seat when the sun explodes
Let's not take this ride again
Let's let it end

7. Settler

The air sings a song of disharmony
She's been looking for a safe place
But it isn't me

When you think that your wounds have healed
Here I am to make them fresh
It was only a matter of time
I fell onto my own sharp tongue

Sentenced to bleed eternally
I died for my own sins
But there is no forgiveness here
Keep searching for that peace you need
Because it isn't me

I am passion
I am disease
I am the weight that brings you to your knees

I am fire
Burning through the trees
When I left I took the colors of the leaves

8. Coldwar

A sharp fragment of a thought
Pierced my mind
Right and wrong have no place here
And I bleed an infinite palette of grey

A light is shining
Illuminator
Show me the way
String me up from the aluminum trees

Tear my bruised and beaten flesh away

There is no end in sight
To this war I wage on myself
