Dark Tranquillity

Where were the eyes that followed?

How could they've found?

These misery's merchants

Struck the message deep

We have come to stay



Dogs fled there in the dark of his path

Feared him as once they all did



Like a ghost in daylight

On an overcrowded street

He wishes

To be something he is not



Like a shadow at midnight

That originated in air

He wishes for release



Deep in the back it had caught him

The anchor they threw at his life

Oh these misery's merchants

Dragged through life as a burden



Rushed off to his cage of glass

To open the single window

A means of escape, out in the open

There are still holes in these walls

Puking information into the unwanting

Probing the last hope of defense

So he plugged up the holes

Shut the outside window

In doing that, madness paid a visit



And then suddenly in mid-thought

Escape was a factor and as from inside

Pushing out were words

Through fingers came uncovering

Revealing the truth of him there in the dark



Skin began to crawl as they neared him

Is all pleasure release?

Oh these misery's merchants

Saw the message clear

It is time to pay



Dogs fled there in the dark of his path

Feared him as once they all did



Like a ghost in daylight

On an overcrowded street
