“I have come to the end of my line
With these final steps I take back my freedom
Unchain the shackles that never could hold my mind
Time keeps running and running
Outstripping the dead tired ones
The hours will run out from us all
And in the end no one differs from the other
Only the blue sky and the green grass
Go on forever in this world
Where seconds feel like eternity
And years pass in blink of an eye
When the last rays of light
Set behind these shores
Night wraps me in its blanket
And leads my way to the stars
Through the fear and the ache
Pass the storm and the rain
I have made peace with the world
I am born again
I may be gone in the flesh
But my love will stay here
I am always with you in spirit
So just stay strong
No one wins tonight
No one gets a closure
No one walks away victorious
But dont forget me
Dont you forget me
Burn a candle for me when you can”
-Insomnium
“What solemnity can be found in this death?
A traitors smile, the honour of betrayal
How comfort could be found in the dreariest of nights?
What solace for guilt-driven mind, tarnished heart?
Two crestfallen figures clinging together in fathomless dark
In maelstrom of despair dimming each others shine
And half of his blood runs like mine – kindred spirit to me
But the gleam in his eyes remind of the one who is gone forever
When dreams carry me past this life, to thin shrouding mist
I rest in silence, in place lifeless and desolate
