[I. White Lands Of Empathica]
The end
The songwriter’s dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of empathica Of innocence Empathica Innocence
[II. Home]
The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
One last perfect verse Is still the same old song Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
Take me home
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
My home was there ‘n then Those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face
Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world (Whore for the cold world Whore for the cold world)
[III. The Pacific]
Sparkle my scenery With turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The Ever Free
Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the pain, beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby
On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all
“I’m afraid, I’m so afraid Being raped again, and again, and again I know I will die alone But loved
You live long enough to hear the sound of guns long enough to find yourself screaming every night long enough to see your friends betray you
For years I’ve been strapped unto this altar Now I only have three minutes and counting I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for.”
[IV. Dark Passion Play]
2nd robber to the right of Christ Cut in half – infanticide The world will rejoice today As the crows feast on the rotting poet
Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he’s home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
The morning dawned, upon his altar Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came
Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God Save me I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world (Whore for the cold world Whore for the cold world)
“Today, in the year of our Lord 2005 Tuomas was called from the cares of the world He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day The music he wrote had too long been without silence
He was found naked and dead, With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text”
Save me
[V. Mother and Father]
Be still, my son You’re home Oh when did you become so cold? The blade will keep on descending All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end I will always love you
Arch Enemy is a Swedish melodic death metal band, from Halmstad, formed in 1995.
[Verse 1] When I was born, the seed was sown I will not obey, my life is my own Battle those, who wish to enslave me Expose the lies, that enrage me
[Verse 2] I don’t believe in heaven, I don’t believe in hell Never joined the herd, could not adjust well Slave and master, it’s not for me I chose my own path, set my self free
[Chorus] I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone
[Verse 3] Reject the system, that dictates the norm This world is full of lies and deceit I have felt betrayal, cut so deep Suffered defeat, only to rise again
[Chorus] I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone
Alone
[Chorus] I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone
Dark Funeral is a Swedish black metal band from Stockholm, founded by guitarists Blackmoon and Lord Ahriman in 1993.
From tombs of forgotten times, I summon thee from thy sleep Across the river, ferocious and wild, from the graves and vaults of my thoughts
I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life and drift away beyond the borders of this realm You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave this world forever, I swear not to return Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home
So rise from the dead Release me from this pain I raise the dead To unfold the gates to Hell
I summon all the forces from the darkness that gave birth to our exsistence and lit the hellish flames We shall stand tall and wander Where the heavens can not reach us as the path will lead into the dark and cold We can not stay and wait, the passage has been cleared The gates are open, there is no turning back Those left behind, shall die as slaves, as servants of their humble ways and Satan will be laughing from his throne
So rise from the dead Release me from these chains I raise the dead To reclaim my throne in Hell
And before the rise of dawn, my soul will be free
I call for you my brother let me leave this awful life and drift away beyond the borders of this realm You wandered off before me, now come back and pick me up Unchain my soul and bring me where all light will fade I cannot stay, I will not wait, I have to leave this world forever, I swear not to return Behind their masks there stand but slaves and servitude was not our trade so rise and set me free and bring me home
So rise from the dead Release me from this pain I raise the dead To unfold the gates to Hell So rise from the dead Release me from these chains I raise the dead To reclaim my throne in Hell
