IN FLAMES – Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone

Find time and play with innocence
Like you ever would
I don’t see you make any sense
I guess you deliver misery
Just like you should

1 o’clock and you paint the skies grey
It’s not your fault We’re the ones who betray
But how can you say it with such ease
You want to take a stand or just wanna please

Your bedtime story is scaring everyone
But you make me understand
The evil that man do
The evil that man do

IN FLAMES – Zombie Inc

Truth serves them embrace
And defend her case
Part flattery, part threats
“For those who cling to this
Dominion will partake in its fall”

With his silence, he passes the
Judgement over them
“With your feverish signs of force
You’ll make them and yourself to
Believe that he still retains his full power”

As a platform for divine foundations,
You want to make them suck

Shallowness and beauty
Was all that concerned her body
But the soul, her divine guest
Were thrust to the bottom

Surrendered to the sect
That has risen from its womb
“For those who cling to this
Dominion will partake in its fall”

IN FLAMES – Versus Terminus

When all is said and done
We’ll know what’s right, what’s wrong
But does it matter then
When all is said and done

When all is dead and gone
We’ll know who lost, who won
But does it matter then
When all is dead and gone

See everything go
End of all things
The life that we know
Shift your point of view
You’ve been warned
This one way ticket is for you

When all the lights go out
We know what life’s about
But does it matter then
When all the lights go out

When all that’s left is lies
We’ll see nothingness and realize.
But does it matter then
When all that’s left is lies?

IN FLAMES – Where The Dead Ships Dwell

The picture slowely fades
Walls are closing in
And there I was, cursing the ground
Unable to understand

I won’t let the world break me
So I need to change direction
Nothing special I’m far from perfect
Light the way for me

Feel I was running an endless mile
Last time it burns
And I’m dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

Walking where the dead ships dwell
These are shores I left behind
Streets were getting smaller
And I have to leave

Feel I was running an endless mile
Last time it burns
And I’m dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

All I hear is noise
Heart so false
So guess, I took it for granted
I know I went too far
I won’t say I’m sorry
I got what I deserved
I got what I deserved

Feel I was running an endless mile
Last time it burns
And I’m dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

Feel I was running an endless mile
Last time it burns
And I’m dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

IN FLAMES – Worlds Within The Margin

Raindrop hits the leaf changing it’s position slightly on the street
next to polls of monotonous waters He walks Slipping feet from
steps at random He falls

In the space of between his body and the ground
comets cast off their names stellar neurones misfire

Witnesses
inhale the seed
and spit out a million branches

Buds abloom in all directions
frin which events occur
relations and virused meetings
catch fire and explode
In the margin of butterfly wings
entire cycles of evolution
outplayed and faded
sparked away and leaned back into
vacuum-filled nirvana

Between the two of my eyes
feverish fractal scar
Dance like were they on drugs
peyote labyrinth re-mapped exits
A hasty blink
and a million life-to-comes
will never be the same
as they never were

In the kinetic energy of a moving fist
lies a birth-machine for a parallel universe

With the first movement in organic scap
came a bouquet of alternative answers
all different multiplied and re-divided

Coded in the spinal cord of a trilobite
written between the legs on the Meganeura
suburban city maps and dormant dictator semen
marked their way through time

IN FLAMES – The Quiet Place

Spinning further, deeper
I know you’re out to try me
I’m not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world

..and then I close my eyes
..and then I close my eyes

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything’s in place so much brighter from today

Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars, the quiet place
All the bridges fall to the ground and you say you sacrificed

..and then I close my eyes
..and then I close my eyes

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything’s in place so much brighter from today
A king in my own mind

Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind

Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, Bow down, bow down!
A king in my own mind
Everything’s in place so much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
