Dark Tranquillity - Skywards lyrics

(Lyrics: Stanne)

Cast out from a world of selfdeceit

in senseless fear of denial

Forgive the others indifference

and on paths of wisdom trait

In grief thou shalt not wander

With hopefilled heart now walk

Do not fear the slow proceeding

Fear only the stillness of invention

Mocking words and actions a defeat

for intellect and mind

Saveth me for I know not how

to break free from these chains of scorn

Oh I wonder how can I turn the sense of doubt

in the minds of them all

Our needs are depending in images in life

and the more you agree in the far more they ask

I am an outcast but I am free to speak

the words from my heart

And when I know the secrets

in the minds of the weak

I shall return and be grateful

For the lessons learned from the past

Hear me, See me

I am now forever one with myself

I sense the forces that deep within me burn

I smell remains of fear forever gone

I feel now comfort with who I have to be

Now is the time for retributive thoughts

To be content is happiness

Not the overflow of material things

that we seek to make a stand

in this era of greed and self-inflicted

pain in the shape of disappointment

Do not fear the slow proceeding

That's all I ask of thee

What lies ahead you will never know

so come prepared

Oh I wish for thee to see the vast plains

and the field, The open seas, The wailing trees

The treasures of my kingdom

reach the level of understanding now

exploring, Considering the actions of the past

On a journey forever

Still you're in the water struggling

while I clasp the skies

Can you see the lifeblood dripping

from the cheek of everscorn?

Yes I can!

I am an outcast but I am free to speak

the words from my heart

And when I know the secrets

in the minds of the weak

I shall return and be grateful

For the lessons learned from the past

Hear me, See me

I am now forever one with myself
