Away, Delight, Away

Dark Tranquillity

As false as our minds our eyes refuse to see

They claw for the falseness in me

From where all life springs anew

We are cleansed through the crystal fire



Fill me with sound, fill me with hatred

Let my blood bring life to the soil

The soil beneath my feet



Messenger of pain, sailing silence

Commander of my sorrow, riding rage

This is my garden, leave me be



Infinity is eternal

Never born so it may never die

The colours speak my name

Through the crowns I am baptised in the

First gnawing rays from a blackened sun

In the name of my blood I curse thee

Shelter me under the trees

Spread your twilight wings for me



My broken body is dripping with sin



Your skin so delicate in taste

Your undemanding bliss will carry me far



I bid farewell to this godforsaken land

Nevermore shall I return

I join with the riders on the horizon

For they are my blood

For they are my saviours

They bring me hatred, bring me fire

They take me down to the land I know not

They crush me, take me down

Then they build me once more again



Slayer of my anger

Sailing silence

The angel of my lust

She is tasting shame
