Against The Stream Lyrics - Across The Dark - Insomnium

And down we go again... 

Into the ocean of sorrow 

Towards to sea of despair 

In the deep groves of the earth 

Lifeline running in roaring stream 

"Like sand slipping through my fingers 

Nothing ever lasts, ever will" 

"To impart elegance all living 

Experience the grandeur in giving 

Felicity found in commitment 

Tranquillity in mere being" 

And down we go again 

Under the relentless waves 

Into the arms of calm breakers 

Into bayou of forgotten dreams 

Like sand slipping through my fingers 

Nothing ever lasts, ever will 

"To impart elegance all living 

Experience the grandeur in giving 

From existence into oblivion 

Not in cycles but in lines" 

Getting nowhere fast 

By contending with time 

Accept the alteration 

Come to terms with your days 

Down we go just the same 

Into the ocean of sorrow 

Towards to sea of despair 

This river runs relentlessly 

And this river runs deep 

Not in cycles but in lines
