Dark Tranquillity - Terminus - Текст песни

 This is a ghost town
 Alive with the echoes of failures fled
 Lit up by shining faces,
 That parade these streets
 What used to be
 Of humility is gone
 You walk the mounds
 Of skull and bones
 Where living is denied
 I see more movement in decomposition
 Than in those hollow eyes

 It is the only place I know
 Where death is most alive
 It is when truth is turned to lie
 That death is most alive

 Set flame to the ensnarers
 And pierce that ornate shield
 Branded by what claims you
 You wear the mark of death
 Tear from loss and agony
 A character defined
 Stripped of all but tragedy
 What life is left to find
 Go now, until there's nothing left
 Go now, the dying has begun

 It is the only place I know
 Where death is most alive
 It is when truth is turned to lie
 That death is most alive

 So I flee from all that is me
 To hide behind this pale dead face
 Whatever happened to desire, want and need
 Whatever happened to integrity
 Imagination is a curse in all of this
 Whatever happened to the ones left behind

 This is a ghost town
 Bodies dragged through endless streets
 Go now, to never return
 I've seen more pitiful humiliation
 Than you could never hide

 It is the only place I know
 Where death is most alive
 It is when truth is turned to lie
 That death is most alive
