Terminus (where Death Is Most Alive) Lyrics - Fiction - Dark Tranquillity

This is a ghost town 

Alive with the echoes of failures fled 

Lit up by shining faces 

That parade these streets 

What used to be 

Of humility is gone 

You walk the mounds 

Of skull and bones 

Where living is denied 

I see more movement in decomposition 

Than in those hollow eyes 

It is the only place I know 

Where death is most alive 

It is when truth is turned to lie 

That death is most alive

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Set flame to the ensnarers 

And pierce that ornate shield 

Branded by what claims you 

You wear the mark of death 

Tear from loss and agony 

A character defined 

Stripped of all but tragedy 

What life is left to find 

Go now, until there's nothing left 

Go now, the dying has begun 

It is the only place I know 

Where death is most alive 

It is when truth is turned to lie 

That death is most alive 

Photos 

So I flee from all that is me 

To hide behind this pale dead face 

Whatever happened to desire, want and need 

Whatever happened to integrity 

Imagination is a curse in all of this 

Whatever happened to the ones left behind 

This is a ghost town 

Bodies dragged through endless streets 

Go now, to never return 

I've seen more pitiful humiliation 

Than you could never hide 

It is the only place I know 

Where death is most alive 

It is when truth is turned to lie 

That death is most alive
