Dark Tranquility - Of Chaos And Eternal Night lyrics

By the wind and by time, by everything that flees

A torment of my liking: exploring extremes

All thoughts secluded as fear stalks its blooded soil

In the winding path where a chain now rattles

With links merely death can break

Stains of pride - derelict

In feverish visions of agonizing light

Pulsating rhythm unpure

So pound the drum

And strike the chords of chaos

So scream out to the skies:

Of chaos and eternal night

Never is the dark any threat to my existence

Comforting ravens claws grip the stars that fell tonight

The stealth of infinite beauty

Nevertheless heaven fell tonight

Racing along with the strangled teardrop

Life's elixir in benevolent lust

Slit open the throat that is virtue

Let fire ravage its caverns with joy

Ardent but silent in twilight resigned

Delivered from virtue in vehement plight

Yet ask not of your vanity

(the hooved agitator in your creed)

Stray across the vault your seed

Concealed cravings must through fulfillment be broken

Hide no longer behind the veil of unconvincing lies

So pound the drum

And strike the chords of chaos

So scream out to the skies:

Of chaos and eternal night

I've seen fires weaving patterns

Forging ornaments - hidden from a world of distress

Grace through hatred:

Of chaos and eternal night

In shadows now vengeful waiting out your bitter foe

The mirror distorts

Sinful is the perceiving eye

Tearless in nondescript form

Scarlet secrets tell of nightmarish fear

Illusions that speak of endless night

A venture in terms of one hazardous journey

Into chaos and eternal night

Deliver me from virtue,

Hidden no more beneath your tender veil of lies

And let 'em all out;

Unseen and sinful...

...Of chaos and eternal night
