Insanity's Crescendo

Dark Tranquility

Gently hold our heads

gently hold our heads on high



Aimless time in fear new hide

overthrow the plan

confusion lies in all my words

mad is the soul



We barricade ourselves in holes of temperament

this is the dawning of a new age

A heart that beats the wrong way

insanity's crescendo



Windcolour - second sight

a touch of silence and the violence of dark

Illusion span - the aroma of time

shadowlife and the scent of nothingness



Infinite fall of instinct

order of one spells deceit

Infinite lack of trust

order of one obsolete



Oh escaping time is all we lost ahead?

When it's found, can judgement make amends?



From force-fed impressions

let us mortify the mind

each soul to violate

each instinct to be rendered false



Torn asunder be the conventional forms and frames

now for the blood of heaven

Unlearn and the cleansing comes



Fell a tremor in the pillars of the senses

Cursed victim of a distance near

The first dreams - the clearest vision



Aimlessly steer towards our night

we belong to thee

Oh dearest bliss, unnerving silence

entangled within



Dimly begotten in clarity found

virginlike tears for impurity bound

Beseech he who darken the stars and the sky

to greet now this vision an emerald dawn



Empty the sun - carve out the wind

Insanity's crescendo

tear out the blinded eye



Lament of thunder - take comfort in fear

lightning veins in crude exterior

Voice the oppression - voice the hypocrisy

lay down the law that made instince fall



Escape now and revert

this cleansing rebirth

torn asunder be

Affect me not; darkened vision

insanity's crescendo



Grimly tread the footsteps torn

rebellious stand the seeker tall

The thorn of insanity's hand

take this darkened vision from my sight



Nailed to the image of ignorance

Each soul to violate

for the blood of h
