Dark Tranquillity - The Mundane And The Magic lyrics and song videoclip

Seen through these dreamless eyes
Blind buildings stark to the sky
Silhouettes as dividing walls
Guarding the eternal secret
Where is the flame to haunt you
Who do you answer to
My lies are always wishes
Lies that make me
See beyond the rationale
Accept the fate that nothing is meant to be
Be the least connected
Stay true to the last original

Apply layers to reality
Things only you can see
Add a beat to normality
To tap the core of insanity

I let my dreams cross over
To days of endless gray
If I could merge the mundane and the magic
We'd forged a new unknown
I let my dreams cross over
To nothingness and back again
If I could merge the mundane and the magic
Where is the dark I came to find

In latter days as time will find you
Memories will never let you get closer
The silent sighs in useless company
Wish for darkness and death again
In the face of ignorance and fear
I cast it right back
Some things were never there to begin with
Objectivity is truth denied

Apply layers to reality
Things only you can see
Add a beat to normality
To tap the core of insanity

I let my dreams cross over
To days of endless gray
If I could merge the mundane and the magic
We'd forged a new unknown
I let my dreams cross over
To nothingness and back again
If I could merge the mundane and the magic
Where is the dark I came to find

Dark Tranquillity - Focus Shift lyrics and music videoclip

I think I just forgot
To pick up the shells
From my recent discharge
And you took the blame
Explanations falter
To ears fallen deaf
Wherever I go I get lost

A reference to something
That both of us knew
Nothing that favors the few
In the darkness electric we see
That silence has spoken tonight

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone
I let my focus shift

Your face is a map
I fail to discover
Drowned the sounds
Lost in the order
It's the look that stayed my words
The unblinking knowledge
Interlocked and holding
No stalemate to break
Take hold of the flame that unites
In the silence that speaks to me now

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone
I let my focus shift

I struggle to find the words
That negate my meaning
I fail to comprehend
What message is given

I decline the steady hand
That leads to rejection
Tempted by the closure
With no sense of pride
Drown the fury and swallow the fire
Drown the fury, swallow the fire

I think I have lost my language
Whatever I've said I deny
I think I have lost my way
Whatever was missing is gone
I let my focus shift

Dark Tranquillity - Fabric lyrics

Scattered throughout now
Indefinite form
Willed to find strangers
In the wickedest state
When it comes upon you my friend
Fear not - it makes us men
Hidden within ourselves now
Lured into hiding out of sight

Creation in purity
We don't need no host

Suck it in
It waits for no one
Take it down
The coming of descent

Fiery changeling
Reddened and frail
Perspire to save it
The remnant of this game
If it launches again today
Will our lives begin again
Turning away from tides of lust
Stronger return against all odds

Suck it in
It waits for no one
Take it down
The coming of descent

Raised to take stand
To separate grace
Shown in the wake of new light
Seeing it will break
The flavour of acquired taste
Another boundary yet to face
Witness the revolution
The fabric of essence
Come again

Dark Tranquillity - The Same lyrics

What we always fear and loathe
Becomes of us
Repay the visit of our loss
Reset the marks again
The turning point
Seems to be holding on

Sands of ages and the stars above
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
Repeating 'til the end
Seas of slander and the soil we walk
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
It ends up all the same

The sail that never knew the wind
Barren and lost
Our wrecks these shores will never reach
A trek on darker trails
Let days be done
It takes forever

Dark Tranquillity - Haven lyrics and music videoclip

Now as the lights go down
Deeper now it seems than long before
There are no noises here
Just a silence gone bad
Something I will never hide
This urging need to

Invite the darkside in
Into my haven

If there were words for this
Would I sing or should I scream?
I'd give my blood to stay
My blood just to stay right here
Something can never share
This urging need to

Invite the darkside in
Into my haven

From the album - "Haven" (2000)

Dark Tranquillity - Indifferent Suns lyrics

And although it can be argued
Whether time will ever come to end
There is an overcoming sense of failing
If you never can see the end
In the giving of our hope eternal
We stumble blindly and forget the way
Is there ever time for answers
When the world comes tumbling down

All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come

And even if in days of wonders
A glance that may stray from the fold
Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
A mere nuisance when it?s time to pay
Come undone now the strive and the passion
Giving under to the forces that be
Can you even think of questions
When the world comes tumbling down
We shut our eyes and turn away

All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come
