Insomnium - Disengagement Lyrics
What solemnity can be found in this death?A traitor's smile, the honour of betrayalHow comfort could be found in the dreariest of nights?What solace for guilt-driven mind, tarnished heart?Two crestfallen figures clinging together in fathomless darkIn maelstrom of despair dimming each other's shineAnd half of his blood runs like mine - kindred spirit to meBut the gleam in his eyes remind of the one who is gone foreverWhen dreams carry me past this life, to thin shrouding mistI rest in silence, in place lifeless and desolateLong are midwinter's nights as the will to live has diedEvanescent the unwarming light, evoking memories of lifeOf the life long lost, buried in ashes of love and joyAnd half of his blood bleeds like mine - kindred spirit, yet freeBut the gleam in his eyes abates for my guilt shackles him tooWhat sublimity can be found in this love?Weakling's trust, the moral of deceiverThere's no future for a son under this burden of griefNo leading to walk aside this tormented ghostTwo crestfallen figures clinging together in fathomless darkIn maelstrom of despair father suppressing the only shineAs the end is slowly looming our paths must now divergePressure slowly easing, shackles unchained, upliftingBeyond many a weary leagueWhere dimming light gives birth to evening starsAt the treelines of distant, devouring woodsAwait my demons, embodying this longingBetter to sleep now on stranger's porch,find home on foreign soilBrighter the sun to a forsaken child than to a father in despairDisencumbered from this grief with the most cruel wayDeserted to be alone, abandoned to be free
