Insanity's Crescendo Lyrics - Singles - Dark Tranquility

Gently hold our heads 

Gently hold our heads on high 

Aimless time in fear now hide 

Overthrow the plan 

Confusion lies in all my words 

Mad is the soul 

We barricade ourselves in holes of temperament 

This is the dawning of a new age 

A heart that beats the wrong way 

Insanity's crescendo 

Gently hold our heads 

Gently hold our heads on high 

Windcolor, second sight 

A touch of silence and the violence of dark 

Illusion span, the aroma of time 

Shadowlife and the scent of nothingness 

Insanity's crescendo 

Infinite fall of instinct 

Order of one spells deceit 

Infinite lack of trust 

Order of one obsolete 

Oh, escaping time is all we lost ahead 

When it's found, can judgment make amends? 

From force fed impressions 

Let us mortify the mind 

Each soul to violate 

Each instinct to be rendered false 

Torn asunder be the conventional forms and frames 

Now for the blood of heaven 

Unlearn the cleansing acmes 

Felt a tremor in the pillars of the senses 

Cursed victim of a distance near 

The first dream, the clearest vision 

Aimlessly steer towards our night 

We belong to thee 

Dearest bliss, unnerving silence 

Entangled within 

Dimly begotten in clarity found 

Virginlike tears for impurity bound 

Beseech he who darken the stars and the sky 

Greet now this vision an emerald dawn 

Empty the sun, carve out the wind 

Insanity's crescendo 

Tear out the blinded eye 

Insanity's crescendo 

Lament of thunder, take comfort in fear 

Lightning veins in crude exterior 

Voice the oppression, voice the hypocrisy 

Lay down the law that made instinct fall 

Escape now and revert 

This cleansing rebirth, torn asunder be 

Affect me not, darkened vision 

Insanity's crescendo 

Grimly tread the footsteps torn 

Rebellious stand the seeker tall 

The thorn of insanity's hand 

Take this darkened vision from my sight 

Nailed to the image of ignorance 

Each soul to violate 

For the blood of heaven
