Silence, And The Firmament Withdrew Lyrics - The Gallery - Dark Tranquility

Make all the cold trees mourn 

Their branches frozen in sightless motion 

Waving, reaching for the whipping rain 

There was silence and the firmament withdrew 

Revealing all, shapelessly and swiftly 

In carmine and crimson stood flaming the sky 

The relics of myths that exploded and died 

Dismantle the sun and stars in their rise 

And rend from the skyline, the black in our eyes 

The skyline so empty, all but one, nonexistent 

Words were not, nor gesture, thought or life 

The sky dancers laid slain and old 

The firmament in perpetual withdrawal
