Garden of Earthly Delights Lyrics

Då blir man död
Heart in Hand Lyrics
[Intro]
"Det är för bedrövligt. Usch!
Vem fan är du?"
[Verse 1]
Take it as a threat now and leave
Drop of toxins flows to a habit
Tell me what it is you can't see
Teeth grinding flesh in the sabbat
Factual drowning stream, you believe
Slaves will follow conspiracy
Turn the locks on brother and kin
Murder lust on affinity
[Pre-Chorus]
War in utopia
Slay cornucopia for symmetry
[Chorus]
The parody is real
And we're biding time
And while losing ground, make sure to worship monarchy
Death is but a story in a land of borrowed wealth
The burdened scale weighs heavy with the hunt for dopamine
[Verse 2]
Intolerance disguised as a faith
In secrecy we shun empathy
Soul critique online far too late
A throne for the devout enemy
[Pre-Chorus]
War in utopia
Slay cornucopia for symmetry
[Chorus]
The parody is real
And we're biding time
And while losing ground, make sure to worship monarchy
Death is but a story in a land of borrowed wealth
The burdened scale weighs heavy with the hunt for dopamine
[Outro]
When I was young
So, so much younger than today
It seemed easier to lead your life
There was no time to surrender
And no reason to perceive
The burden of pain
As it passed through our lives every year somehow
And it never really went away
Yet behind my door
Was a kingdom
A secret outline showed the way
To treasures of clay
And beads made of glass
Next of Kin Lyrics
[Refrain]
Every morrow, every year
Choir of sounds
The final sorrow, so shed a tear
[Verse 1]
Someone dies within creation
Doubts in everlasting life
How to lie to one innocent child
You are loved, I'm execrated
You belong, I circle strife
Routine pathways in escape from the wild
[Chorus]
We are left in a city all alone
In the breathing of ashes
On the earth, one second
Just a piece of meat in essence
[Refrain]
Every morrow, every year
Choir of sounds
The final sorrow, so shed a tear
[Chorus]
We are left in a city all alone
In the breathing of ashes
On the earth, one second
Just a piece of meat in essence
We are left in a world that's burning
Crawling through embers to safety
And my name is next to last
Feast on famine and death on the broadcast
[Bridge]
Finding friends in algorithms
Forgot the sound of my daughter's voice
Please remind me of my emptiness
The hissing of machines lost rhythm
As death would give an interview
In a metropolitan holiness
I am outside waiting
Outside waiting
I am outside waiting
Outside waiting
[Outro]
Am I the last one of my kind
Who's afraid of dying?
But I would perish to save a child
And give all I can for love
It seems I might have reconciled
Even if my destiny's lying
For the ones I hold dear I hold close
And force my way through the ether
Lovelorn Crime Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A voice through vapor
20 yards ahead
Is calling for your name
The empty paper
Waiting on the bed
It sets the waiting game
[Refrain]
Credits to a dream
[Chorus]
You can always strike me down
You can always say I'm wrong
You can always strike me down
But I will always wait for you
[Verse 2]
Ghost of memories, heavy on my brow
But changing over time
New ambitions corrupting every vow
Unfolding lovelorn crime
[Refrain]
Credits to a dream
[Chorus]
You can always strike me down
You can always say I'm wrong
You can always strike me down
But I will always wait for you
Yes, I will always wait for you
Universal Truth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow
There comes a time in life when death may come too slow
[Chorus 1]
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
[Post-Chorus]
You have waited far too long
But Spring is set in bloom
You have conquered love inside
Yet sorrow is your doom
The debts are long since paid, inheritance is set
Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget
Lest you forget
[Verse 2]
At sunrise Friday morning, a haven for your sins
The written dedication etched into your skin
[Chorus 2]
Time won't heal the wounds you bear
Between old pride and desperate prayers
[Bridge]
Time won't heal any wounds you bear
A set few years of your life are stolen
Light cast on the obvious
Behold the white when it's faded golden
A stranger's truth holds no water here
But soon we may have learned
Dead sympathy, an aversion proceeds
[Verse 3]
A voice lives in your chest that comforts wary thoughts
Yet the brook is still too wide to bridge the gap you've sought
[Chorus 1]
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
[Verse 4]
You trade your vices every day religiously
A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see
You gave away too much, a harness on your kin
For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin
Mortal sin
You're still alone
[Outro]
The day in zenith now, you made it through the night
Voice of perdition came and went far out of sight
Continuum Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Empty house and empty pockets
There's an echo in the hall
I keep your picture in a locket
In the past, we had it all
But the Summer fades away
Rainy day tomorrow
[Verse 2]
In the company of dawning
In the presence of a friend
I was subject to a wanting
And unable to ascend
So I opened up my gate
It’s too late to wonder
[Interlude]
"Det är bara en ny dag, inget särskilt har hänt"
[Chorus]
Once there was a moment
Time was on my side
Rust and silk bestowment
Balanced on my pride
[Bridge]
You are moving away from home
Escaping the monochrome
One after another
Striding along the road
Past the crest, you will be free
Laid to rest now, let it be
Honest promise to a degree
The edge too sharp for guarantees
[Chorus]
Once there was a moment
Time was on my side
Rust and silk bestowment
Balanced on my pride
[Outro]
A part of our past is still there
Underneath your shoes
The memory's stuck in your chest
The idle truth is up to you
The river of time flows on
Blind and ruthless
Life is so fragile, I know
And even if I heard
A yearning voice in your heart
Old routines always kept us apart
The river of time flows on
Blind and ruthless
The river of time flows on
Blind and ruthless
The river of time flows on
Blind and ruthless
The river of time flows on
Blind and ruthless
