Alone Lyrics - Of Chaos And Eternal Night - Dark Tranquility

"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell and I stared in woe at the 

world before me 

My weeping eves could not bear to tell of the shattered kingdom in ruins 

before me 

What became of the lands that were? A pearl in the nest of memories 

Forever gone...departed by the minds of man 

Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood 

Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn your ignorant ways 

Like the leaves of the high trees 

I wither and fall 

Born my autumnal winds 

To my funeral hall 

I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness 

I have been told to honor life and what there in I'll find 

But if all I see is darkness, let me die and wake up blind 

As the gleaming blade before me, singing lullabies of loss 

Whispering "death is your redeemer to the Paradise you've lost" 

Mankind, 

Evoker of inferno 

Let me burn your honored Crown of Creation 

And dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come 

Why should I stay here where I do not belong? 

Of weakness burns my within...an empty shell 

I've lost the way to the sanctity I need 

I'll greet the dawn that brings no life, 

No frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night 

My mournful roam has ended 

I hide in the shadows while biding my time 

Sheltered from this world which disorderly rhymes 

With the fury of damnation 

Once I held in my hand the starlight of eden 

And the white sky lay open in a soul that was free 

(But the years flew so far as the shadows were cast 

And I woke up one morning with no reason to be) 

I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless sorrow 

I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear 

Take me home to whence I came 

Where I'll find light to feed my flame of life 

Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope...
