Of Chaos And Eternal Night Lyrics - Singles - Dark Tranquility

By the wind and by time, by everything that flees 

A torment of my liking: exploring extremes 

All thoughts secluded as fear stalks its blooded soil 

In the winding path where a chain now rattles 

With links merely death can break 

Stains of pride - derelict 

In feverish visions of agonizing light 

Pulsating rhythm unpure 

So pound the drum 

And strike the chords of chaos 

So scream out to the skies: 

Of chaos and eternal night 

Never is the dark any threat to my existence 

Comforting ravens claws grip the stars that fell tonight 

The stealth of infinite beauty 

Nevertheless heaven fell tonight 

Racing along with the strangled teardrop 

Life's elixir in benevolent lust 

Slit open the throat that is virtue 

Let fire ravage its caverns with joy 

Ardent but silent in twilight resigned 

Delivered from virtue in vehement plight 

Yet ask not of your vanity 

(the hooved agitator in your creed) 

Stray across the vault your seed 

Concealed cravings must through fulfillment be broken 

Hide no longer behind the veil of unconvincing lies 

So pound the drum 

And strike the chords of chaos 

So scream out to the skies: 

Of chaos and eternal night 

I've seen fires weaving patterns 

Forging ornaments - hidden from a world of distress 

Grace through hatred: 

Of chaos and eternal night 

In shadows now vengeful waiting out your bitter foe 

The mirror distorts 

Sinful is the perceiving eye 

Tearless in nondescript form 

Scarlet secrets tell of nightmarish fear 

Illusions that speak of endless night 

A venture in terms of one hazardous journey 

Into chaos and eternal night 

Deliver me from virtue, 

Hidden no more beneath your tender veil of lies 

And let 'em all out; 

Unseen and sinful... 

...Of chaos and eternal night
