In Flames, In Flames 9집 - A Sense Of Purpose (2008) by In Flames (보컬), In Flames (보컬) on maniadb.com

This spectacle will collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in

I guess we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth
should I join the feast
should I acknowledge the leash
A future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be
We're not even trying
Let this light explode

The bleeding we deceive them
Fule the lies their fires
Is there a higher reason
We should live by their laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope
We're not even trying
To ignite life's dream
Let this light explode
We're not even trying
Find the exit sign
and disappear

We're not even trying
To ignite life's dream
Let this light explode
We're not even trying
Find the exit sign
and disappear

You won't Find a friendly face in the crowd, It's quite amusing to see how you suffer I refuse, to let you steal my delight, Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage I've seen you kill many dreams, But I got brand new armour, And your weapons are way out of reach How does it feel to be demolished, Vaporized into thin air? Strange new feeling to be nothing. [Chorus] All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2] All drenched in fear, And the hate you bring Make me bother, I dare you, I've got the strength I need, But I'll await my darkest moment, When the guilt doesn't get to me. [Chorus x2]

Hopeless times approach Just give into the chaos Strangely I find comfort here Impatient and curious of what may come ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus:] Drain Me Keep me in the dark I don't want to take part Prefer to be forever numb Nothing great can come out of this But I'm hostage to myself I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge And I fear I'll realize when it's too late ...And so the rampage begins Against the headache I can't win [Chorus] Sleepless again I need to ease my mind And kill what burns inside Sleepless again I can't win [Chorus]

The serpent knows, When the curtain falls, With denials blindfold, He greets another day Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfect ten, When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Life's wrapped in a riddle, Easier said than done, Way to play the victim, Just run and hide. Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfec ten When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Let them take me far away Crawl back in place, It's easier to cope behind the curtain, Wipe the worries away No thought about the consequence Don't believe the mask It adapts to any lie, A perfec ten, When reality caves in Don't tell me, Tell my ghost, 'cause I blame him For all I don't want to know I found secrets about life's undertow Let them take me far away

I am my deepest shadow, Something I can't ever neglect, Rise above these ashes, Or fall and fade away In dark moments, I know better, Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus:] From here to new grounds, Suppose I will do it alone, With a smile through black design Fearless of your conviction Staring into truth, I am the highway, Existence, care for me in all Your everlasting complications In dark moments, I know better Within destruction, I see clearly [Chorus] Forget the promised land, There was never an invitation, Today I create my own, Before there was sorrow And lack of attention [Chorus]

Everyday takes figuring out how to live, Sometimes it feels like a mistake, Sometimes it's a winner's parade, Delight and angers, I guess that's the way it's supposed to be... [Chorus:] Please heal me, I can't sleep Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable, Lie and set me free I feel the fear take hold Afraid this hell I create is my own Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore, This used to be my own world, But now I've lost control [Chorus] Chasing leftovers, Under the fading sun, Searching for shelter, I feel my time has come [Chorus]

Consume the curse
That brings you down
(A fading liar)
Who wakes up alone

It's there
In front of you

[Chorus:]
Invert this tragedy to come
And reclaim your future
This is a call to arms
One quest at a time

Feed the hunger,
Climb on up
Repress the negative
You are not alone

It's there
In front of you

[Chorus]

Avoid the mould
Desperate you regress
Move through me
I'll be your triumph

[Chorus]

Used to be original, But now I tremble in fear I am like everyone else And that buries me Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? [Chorus:] I've become the distance, I am the sober and irrelevant, I don't feel but in this, What is there to believe? I'm not asking for much, just a moment A chance to pick up the pieces Happiness, please, come home What if it ends right here How do I change it? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus] Is this how it feels To reach rock bottom Want to know how it feels to be forgotten? Hoping to find a saviour I've lost my way [Chorus]

I'm so restless, These walls drain my thoughts Room 307 I can't find my way out It used to be my home These days, far from my comfort zone Alive but without control... Fear is taking hold I should cross the line Confront like the blind [Chorus:] Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in And discover the living? I don't recognise my soul Condemned to live in this black hole Deep within time... and crave what is mine. [Chorus] I should cross the line... Confront like the blind Hear a distant cry... Would you tell me how To break the cycle that I'm in It's a hill to climb Would you dream if I, Design the future Not the end of time

You won't
Find a friendly face in the crowd,
It's quite amusing to see how you suffer

I refuse, to let you steal my daylight,
Barely awake - but it strengthens my night rage
I've seen you kill many dreams,
But I got brand new armour,
And your weapons are way out of reach

How does it feel to be demolished,
Vaporized into thin air?
Strange new feeling to be nothing.

[Chorus]
All the words I hear... they don't mean a thing [x2]
All drenched in fear,
And the hate you bring

Make me bother, I dare you,
I've got the strength I need,
But I'll await my darkest moment,
When the guilt doesn't get to me.

[Chorus x2]

I used to adore you The lies made sense somehow Gave myself away without a fight But the betrayal claims its price At first I was scared Not used to a murder's mind But there was something beautiful So powerful, so definite, so divine Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus:] Falling ideals Broken seals March to the shore You are a killer! Is it something that's always been there? Was it destined to leave its cage? I'm glad we met though I love to release the rage But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me Pushing the faith Build out of rage [Chorus] But everything has its end And I've done my deed The final bullet - always meant for me [Chorus x2]
