Dark Tranquility - Tongues Lyrics
Tongues, lost in meYours be the sharp and the vileGlide neath my skinStorm trough my nervesI bury the nomad yearsHours in the earthCouldnt exorcise these searing,Peaking tonguesImmune you sayYet venom stakes in strangest guisesTongue, throat, tongueSlayer of the word and stealerOf visionA monumental reign of terrorsThroats slit up to stain the targetWere food for the hounds of trauma,Prey to the crows of stressNo power left to retrieve my stolenLanguageFiltered though the illiterateFingers of deathFliesLet sickness be pouredFrom the cupped hands of bedlamOn account of their brightnessI made friends with the word andThe moonWent with the tide and left forThe soundOf dead instruments thrown outOf tuneThe red square patterns, dragonriseAnd evenclawDecoying from pandemonia syfometryLet ringA disgonant note in the music ofThe spheresThe streak of promise in the nuclearSkyThese whipping black tonguesAching to lick me back to lifeTo inject their truths within me
