Lethe

Dark Tranquillity

Give me the drink of the fluid

That disintegrates

And lend me the sweet balm and blessing

Of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Lethe

Oh, lethe



Hold me near, unravel the stars

As I speed through the heavens

Speed through the night

For you are my blade and my rope

You are my lethe

You are my all



In currents of cobalt

You storm through my heart

To sever, to puncture

The memories that burn

Let sweep through the arteries

In sharp stabs of pain

Your talon-like fingers to kill me again



Steal me, invade me and charge me again

For I burn and I shudder

Burn with each movement of



So, cleansed through a floodlight

I appear, renewed and reforged

Caressed by the sweet balm and blessing

Of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Lethe



Hold me near, my one friend and guide

As I drown through your fingers

Drown through your love

For you are the life I hate

You are my



Drag me down, in passionate sighs

With the ocean above me

And flames in my eyes

And grant me a life I can live

Without

Take me away



From the life that I hate
