Disengagement Lyrics - Singles - Insomnium

What solemnity can be found in this death? 

A traitor's smile, the honour of betrayal 

How comfort could be found in the dreariest of nights? 

What solace for guilt-driven mind, tarnished heart? 

Two crestfallen figures clinging together in fathomless dark 

In maelstrom of despair dimming each other's shine 

And half of his blood runs like mine - kindred spirit to me 

But the gleam in his eyes remind of the one who is gone forever 

When dreams carry me past this life, to thin shrouding mist 

I rest in silence, in place lifeless and desolate 

Long are midwinter's nights as the will to live has died 

Evanescent the unwarming light, evoking memories of life 

Of the life long lost, buried in ashes of love and joy 

And half of his blood bleeds like mine - kindred spirit, yet free 

But the gleam in his eyes abates for my guilt shackles him too 

What sublimity can be found in this love? 

Weakling's trust, the moral of deceiver 

There's no future for a son under this burden of grief 

No leading to walk aside this tormented ghost 

Two crestfallen figures clinging together in fathomless dark 

In maelstrom of despair father suppressing the only shine 

As the end is slowly looming our paths must now diverge 

Pressure slowly easing, shackles unchained, uplifting 

Beyond many a weary league 

Where dimming light gives birth to evening stars 

At the treelines of distant, devouring woods 

Await my demons, embodying this longing 

Better to sleep now on stranger's porch, 

find home on foreign soil 

Brighter the sun to a forsaken child than to a father in despair 

Disencumbered from this grief with the most cruel way 

Deserted to be alone, abandoned to be free
