Final Resistance

Dark Tranquility

Disaffected, left to internal struggle

let ring with the cries of disaccord

They told of outposts firm as trees

Whispers laid no basis for

the plunge to the chasm depths

Seen none, nor felt the safety

Perimeter alarm



I see the bearings of disaster



What can you tell me of the inside

Is it as bright as all can see?



To make a chemical stand

a final front to the days ahead

In attempt to tame their mineral estrangement

Smothered by the numeral that

haunts each waking day



Request for countertmeasures

to state claim of this my cavern

None to take and none be given

as the window breaks to black

A process left to solitude

is the action left undone

Answers left to echo

in the silent halls of none



Cast down the hopes and aspirations

Shut the windows tight

Everybody said No

Reset your fears and good intentions

Barred up for life

Everybody said No



This is the final resistance
