Beyond Enlightenment Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

[lyrics: Sundin] 

Now oppression stalks the remnants of compassion, 

brewing hatred to surface in wicked actions 

Cloaked in peace and mercy, force their false confessions 

Sentenced am I dying, cleansed from all salvation 

"Defy our accusations and a certain death you'll meet 

A fool denies the obvious, and fools we shall defeat" 

All sanity now vanquished, ever mould beyond control 

My guilt stands yet unproven though they still demand my fall 

Demand my fall 

Blood runs beyond enlightenment at inquisition's hands 

Vicious burn the fires swiftly out of hand 

Now my fate lies in their "hands of liberation" 

forming law and justice into obscuration 

leading lies ensuring my life ceased in fire, 

In the name of peace, to cleance my dark desires 

"You stand accused of herasy and all what that implies 

With darkened minds you summon those who're fallen from the skies" 

Envenomed bleed their poisoned hearts, the power they've abused 

A deadly game of envy in which my life I'll lose 

Blood runs beyond enlightenment at inquisition's hands 

Vicious burn the fires swiftly out of hand 

Shackled, fettered - choking as I drown 

Fooled and tortured - confess comitted crimes 

Shackled, fettered - choking as I drown 

Fooled and tortured - confess comitted crimes 

Sentenced by superstition - my innocense denied 

Truth is strange than fiction - religious genocide 

Alone in blind desperation, I face my mournful death 

In flames I meet termination, but my memory will be left
