On wards I tremble, on wards I crawl My reason profound, the pain above all Secluded from motion, detained to rot Emerging from sacrifice Giving all that I've got
The strive of reaching higher And hold on to what eventually falls Is making sure that the spirit will crumble Once the bloodstained curtains are dropped
Violation of what I've kept inside A nation of remedies all mine
All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all
The weight that's been covering our backs Is now replaced A place where our hearts will turn black That's where we'll stay
Segregation of souls beneath the norms Revelations and the oncoming storm Abandoning pressure, abandoning reasons Overcoming burden that drove us through loss
Outcasts of heaven, beggars in black Escaping the kingdoms of perpetual wrath Needless to say I'm through with you My fallen angel, my fallen star
The strive of reaching higher And hold on to what eventually falls Is making sure that the spirit will crumble Once the bloodstained curtains are dropped
All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all
The weight that's been covering our backs Is now replaced A place where our hearts will turn black That's where we'll stay
[Solo: Andersson]
All along echoing paths The lights are gone Strength in numbers Will burn us all
