Through Smudged Lenses Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

Let no one be themselves 

Turn of the century lies 

Not within the others 

Turn on the wretchful eye 

The blindness ends tonight 

Shelter for the shattered 

In unison we strive 

Dare to disassociate 

And cut the blinds that tie 

Abstractualize further 

To the ends of fact and foe 

Will it out of meaning 

As silence speaks the truth 

I want to hear 

You scream 

I want to see 

You stand 

Atop the Pantheon of fiction 

And your failure 

Grasping for a hiding place 

Among indifferent stones 

A brief reflection 

It sets the soul apart 

No selection 

It tears our world apart 

These walls are protecting us 

Burn them to the ground 

This haven of refuge 

Burn it to the ground 

So smudge the lens a little 

Muffle the voice 

Phase out of sound a while 

And let it go 

Citizens of choice 

In a twilight world of your design 

Left to our devices 

We stumble on 

I want to hear 

You scream 

I want to hear 

You scream 

Burn it to the ground 

No firewall will save you 

Burn it to the ground 

Take me to the keep 

And bare the darkest void 

Thousandfold the agony 

Of silenced screams alone 

Tune right out of static 

Exorcise the dark 

How else can we move on 

I want to hear 

You scream 

I want to see 

You die
