Insomnium - Drawn to Black

Band: Insomnium
Album: Above the Weeping World
Song: Drawn to Black
Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Lyrics:

Wreathed in silence, laid down in shades
Swathed in regrets, deluded astray
Forgotten in half-light, drawn in despair
Soothed in slumber so dreadful and fair

Rending and searing and twisting my dreams
Alone in the gloom with the nightmares unseen

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done

Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies
Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides
First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare
Then left in the dark for the demons to share

Only the stars see, only the moon hears

And quietly the water-lilies sigh
Like the last breath of a weary soul
And the weed sway in the dreary waters
Like a girls dark hair they wave about

And the black stones under my bare feet
Cold and smooth like her milk-white palm
And the silence which falls upon this shore
Resounds now louder than oncoming storm

For all is gone

@Donut117 The only group of hip-hop I know that makes decent songs with good lyrics is Immortal Technique they deserve some respect...although I don't like all their songs because I still don't like hip-hop, but they have my approval of being more serious about making music instead of something boring, lame and mainstream.
