INFERNO album | darknessgbg

Down on my knees again, for you through thick and thin
The promise I once gave, I've kept for far too long
I've learned my ways through you, you cured me from all good
But our final remedy, comes when you die for me

To wake up, you must die!

Come war, come rain; Come everlasting pain
The curse you blessed me with, is here to seal your fate
Come blood, come death; Come sickness and deceit
The eyes that once were shut, now forced to open up

I was incarcerated, in a prison made of lies
Once free I did discover: the truth and that there's more than
A million ways to die and even more to suffer
So hear this final warning:

ALL THAT AVAILS IS FLIGHT

Kneel down and just accept, your death, your fate, the end
You brought this on yourself but placed the blame on me
Come war, come rain; now smile endure the pain
The eyes that once were shut, now forced to open up

The eyes that once were shut, now forced to open up (x4)

A new beginning or another chance
To pick up the pieces that were lost
Take my hand, walk with me
As we head towards the night
And the end of the line... because:

It's time to wake up now and leave this dream behind
You're just another sin, still you're forever mine
Come war, come rain; Come everlasting pain
It fills my soul with joy to see you die for me!

3. Inferno

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

Another life just thrown away
Another promise, you failed to keep
All the hate I've kept within
Is soon to be unleashed

You are not alone in this
I have played my part as well
But the truth you meant to hide
Is waiting to break loose

All of this was your idea
A desperate solution
You left me here alone
In this burning inferno

See the hole I've begun to dig?
It's not only meant for me
Grab a shovel and do your part
Cause this is for both of us

Our shores will disappear
They'll be swallowed by the flood
Hold your breath and sink with me
This hole will be our grave

What if I said
I don't want to be here
Anymore
Without you

What if I told you
My darkest secret
That I want to die
Without you

Would you stay here?
And hold my hand again
Would you start to care?
And hold me as I die

Our journey has reached its end
It falls by your command
I'm left alone again
I don't know what to do...

Should I stay or should I chase?
The dream that we once shared?
Or let you go and die alone
As you search the world to...

Find, peace and true happiness
All that I failed to give
Now go, leave, forget about me
Which I know, you've already done

So please go and find your own way
Who am I, to beg you to stay?
I'll find my peace alone in the dark
I'll find my peace when death comes for me

What if I said
I don't want to be here
Anymore
Without you

What if I told you
My darkest secret
That I just want to die now

What if I said
I don't want to be here
Anymore
Without you

What if I told you
My darkest secret
That I want to die
Without you

Would you stay here?
And hold my hand again
Would you start to care?
And hold me when I die

Would you stay here?
Would you start to care?
And hold me when I die

4. Delivered in Blood

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

I guess I can't explain
or put it into lyrics
The way I feel inside
and how this war evolves

You smile - as you walk away
And I am - left here alone
I wish - you'd feel what I feel
and how I just want to die

If only you could see
All that goes on inside of me
It rips, it hurts and it burns and...
It goes on, never to end

I wish, that you'd be here
Cause I can't stand it no longer
The pain, too much to handle
But now I can finally see the end

Run for your life, the hunt has begun
The walls closing in and soon you'll be trapped
One final act, a final release
The freedom you sought, delivered in blood

Run for your life, run far away
As love turns to hate and friend turns to foe
So how does it feel, to know that the end
Is coming for you; delivered in blood

You delivered tragedies
And wounds that'll never heal
You were not the first
But trust me; you'll be the last

The final darkness comes
The last effort is here
My suicidal dream
The most lethal thought of all

I am the deepest of waters
I am the darkest of secrets
I am the sharpest of blades
Now watch as I cut myself open for you!

I am the one you abandoned
I am the one you discarded
I am the one you rejected
I am a dead man walking

Run for your life, the war has begun
Against what was ours, against what was mine
One final act, a final release
The freedom you sought, delivered in blood

Run for your life, run far away
As love turns to hate and friend turns to foe
So how does it feel, to know that the end
Is coming for you; delivered in blood

Run for your life, run far away
An eye for an eye, now vengeance is mine
Darkness and death, shall conquer your world
The freedom you sought, delivered in blood

Run for your life, to no avail
Destruction and fear, shall lead the way
To see you fall, to see you burn
The only true peace, delivered in blood!

Run for your life, run far away
As love turns to hate, my Queen you will fall
Run for your life, run far away
The freedom you sought, delivered in blood

5. Above the Serpents World

(Music: F. Rasmusson, R. Lagerborg - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

For vengeance and redemption
Through both hell and high water
This moment marks the end
Everything led up to this

For years of grief and anger
Through heartache and disaster
My hatred knows no end
The years just made it worse

Bow down, for me
I might forgive you still
Release your sins
Embrace them as I've done

Come down, from grace
Stop acting like a saint
I will, reclaim
My title as your king

Our future had no end
We were unbreakable
"Your place is here with me
I'll never let you go"

The greatest all of lies
And I believed it too
It pains me to admit
I'd still do all for you

I know, we failed
Before we even tried
I saw, us loose
The road to paradise

Our fate, determined
And written in the stars
I'll wait, beneath
To take back what is mine

The bleeding sky and the serpents world...

High above, what lurks beneath
The bleeding sky and the serpents world
High above, what you forgot
I'll guide you through, the endless waves

Against the test of time
We never stood a chance
I should have seen it then
Forever had a limit

We can't rebuild it now
Or save what can't be saved
I should have understood
Forever had a limit

High above, what lurks beneath
The bleeding sky and the serpents world
High above, what you forgot
I'll guide you through, the endless waves

In hieroglyphs, our end was told
We failed to see, the hidden code
In hieroglyphs, here on the wall
The truth unfolds, of our downfall

High above... What lurks beneath
In hieroglyphs... Our end was told
High above... The serpents world
In hieroglyphs... The truth unfolds

6. Agonizing Endless Burden

(Music: F. Rasmusson, S. Myrén - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

Hold your breath, just for a while
Wait for the night to pass and close your eyes
Just for a moment, I know how it hurts

Wasted, empty, in denial
Now you believe in nothing else
Than in the peace you'll never find
Until the end has set you free

The foundation, that we once created
Shaken, razed, to the ground
Now only dust remains
Your serenade, of lies and of false hope
The pressure of all guilt
Is slowly killing me

Please understand, that time won't heal me
So if you ever cared, then read between the lines

Oh please save me, I need to breathe again
Moving in circles and the air is running out
Still I refuse to let go, it was not the first we lost
Yet I struggle to understand; What you seek among the thorns

Wait for me, I'm falling behind again
Long for me, the day when I'm dead and gone
Despite the facts, against the odds
I still believe that there is a chance for me

I close my eyes, forever haunted
Do you know how it hurts?
As I want to bleed out for you
The last thought comes alive
I gave everything for nothing
And I don't care if it hurts
This life is holding me back

Manipulate to dominate; I'll use your words and love for me
Vengeful, angry; I've decided to use you until you cease to breathe
Cause I'm your haven, I'm your treasure; I am everything you feel
So if you really, truly, love me... well prove yourself and die for me

Wait for me, I'm falling behind again
Long for me, when I am dead and gone
All I am, a tarnished memory
Still I remain; A thorn in your dead-end life

A stone is raised, do you feel free now?
All alone on your meadow of thorns
I close my eyes and though it hurts
This will be the last time, no longer haunted

Close your eyes, I know it hurts
But trust me it gets even worse
Always watching, always waiting
You will never be set free

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

8. For One Last Time

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

Change who you are, change all for me
While I stand here and collect
The last of your autonomy and
All of your last self-respect

You won't notice, you won't see
As I turn my back on you
Four years wasted, all for nothing
And I'll blame it all on you

Forgive me dear
But I did my best for you!
Take a good look at yourself
Can you claim to have done the same?

Shallow, hollow and deluded;
You hide behind your perfect ways
The way you are, it makes me wonder
Did you really ever care?

I did notice, I did see
When you turned your back on me
Four years wasted, I agree
I guess this is all we'll ever be

I gave you all, yes I fought on
While you chose a cowards way
Afraid to see, afraid to hear
That it all came down to you

Down to you...

Take my hand for one last time
Just like we did, when we were young
No-one's perfect, that I know
That goes for all, me and you

I admit, I have my faults
But I chose to learn and grow
So please trust me, face the facts
What you are is but an act

In denial
Refuse to see...
In denial...
Refuse to hear...
In denial..
Refuse to learn...
In denial...
Refuse to grow
In denial

In denial

The truth may hurt more than the lie
But you need to wake up now
My departure was your choice
I did not choose to let you go

The truth may hurt you even more
But you can't hide in here forever
The truth may burn you time after time
But you can't avoid the truth forever

Take my hand, for one last time
Just like we did, when we were young
No-one's perfect, that I know
That goes for all, me and you

I admit, I have my faults
But I chose, to learn and grow
So please trust me, face the facts
What you are is but an act

9. Not Even You

(Music: F. Rasmusson, S. Myrén - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

For nightmares past
And future pain
For all that once
Was good in me

I won't sing
About love or light
Or golden times
That never were

Only you can change the way

Only you can cure this disease

Only you can make me feel

Whole again

And even though

The years have passed

Nothing's changed and it never will...

Because only you can make me feel

Whole again

For failures past
And a future without hope
For all the things
That I have become

I walk this road
Of self-destruction
Now hear me scream
For the dream that you have shattered

I am the sickness which can not be cured
But I am ready to finish this
I am ready to finish
What YOU brought unto us

I'll pull the trigger
For you
For me
For us

Only you can change the way

Only you can cure this disease

Only you can make me feel

Whole again

And even though

The years have passed

Nothing's changed and it never will...

Because only you can make me feel

Whole again

This will be over soon
Give me a moment first
To take a final breath
Before I set you free

This will be over soon
Give me a second to
Remember why we're here
Before I set you free

Only you can change the way

Only you can cure this disease

Only you can make me feel

Whole again

And even though

The years have passed

Nothing's changed and it never will...

Because only you can make me feel

Whole again

Not even you could change the way

Not even you could cure this disease

Not even you could make me feel

Whole again

My heart is dark, it will never change

It is far too late and not even you

Could make me feel whole again

Not even you!

10. Suicidal Final Moment

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

I don't intend, to follow whatever path
That you've laid out, for your own satisfaction
Should I have told you, the rules have changed now?
And I alone, shall choose how my life ends

Take a look, at what's hidden deep within my wounds
You are still there, buried deep under my skin

Mirror mirror on the wall, why don't you show me something else?
Cause what I fear is an illusion
No longer running from myself

The time has come to, leave this place of emptiness
You are now staring at the last decision caused by you!

Just leave me here; leave me to rot
I am ready - got nothing more to give the world
You can't save me - and I don't want you to
There's no reason - to chase the dream that never was

Please leave me here - please let me die alone
Cause I've been waiting - for this moment for so long
I can smile now - this is how I want to go
Turn around - and let me have my way for once

Do you feel it now?
All the pain that I once promised
You to feel one day
I hope it lasts forever

You who never cared
For anyone but for yourself
You became the burden
I've shouldered for too long

Here's the pinnacle, the end and the beginning
I smile in the end
Knowing this will never leave your mind

Mirror mirror on the wall, why don't you show her all of it?
Show her the truth about what happened
And how I choose to end it all myself

Come bleed with me - your path to follow
Come bleed with us - our destiny is set
Come bleed with them - those you discarded
Come bleed - until the end shall set you free

Until the end shall set you free

Until the end shall set you free...

Just leave me here; leave me to rot
I am ready - got nothing more to give the world
You can't save me - and I don't want you to
There's no reason - to chase the dream that never was

Please leave me here - please let me die alone
Cause I've been waiting - for this moment for so long
I can smile now - this is how I want to go
Walk away - just let me have my way for once

Please let me die alone
Cause I've been waiting for this moment for so long
