Atome Heart 243.5 Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

Still alive 

all knowing eye 

beneath your stream of words 

your rapid stream of words 

Though none will 

ever live to share 

the radiant stream 

the promised lives 

from which your picture fell 

Re-seal the components from atom hearts 

Revert, non-owner of worlds 

As uncommunication becomes the manifest 

our alien, architectural skeletons in unison collapse 

Death rode these silent caravans 

and steered them to the rim of the world. 

Their diaries and withered letters 

all devoted to the art of dying 

The enterprise, academy 

the crafts held in our hands 

all devoted to the art of dying 

No room to arrange 

the final row of masks 

drenched in chameleon-ink 

for the grand charade 

The tongues that burn in you 

the slowly altered language 

that colonised your heartland 

advanced through broken doors 

And they still believe in you 

They seem to see 

so many things 

hooked in your pestilent eye 

Your stale lids, your iris punctured 

by tongues licking a lie 

The enterprise, wolvenlore 

the cursed seed of man 

plunged through the tunnels of uncreation 

We reach out to move the landmark, 

hands seeping down from the chronicles of time 

The quill now blunt 

the scribe devoured
