Dark Tranquillity

Let me die, I cried as the curtain fell and I stared in woe at the
world before me
My weeping eves could not bear to tell of the shattered kingdom in ruins
before me
What became of the lands that were? A pearl in the nest of memories
Forever gone...departed by the minds of man
Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood
Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn your ignorant ways
Like the leaves of the high trees
I wither and fall
Born my autumnal winds
To my funeral hall
I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness
I have been told to honor life and what there in I'll find
But if all I see is darkness, let me die and wake up blind
As the gleaming blade before me, singing lullabies of loss
Whispering death is your redeemer to the Paradise you've lost
Mankind,
Evoker of inferno
Let me burn your honored Crown of Creation
