Beyond the Shores (On Death and Dying) [feat. Mikko Kotamäki, Swallow the Sun, Thomas A. G. Jensen, Saturnus, Elisabetta Marchetti & Inno]

Woke up to this Blissful morning Blazing sunlight Laid down the veil Blissful yearning Strains will be gone, far behind Wandering through these Cheerful moments The truce I've come to realize The grasp of your hand Let me relish In failure I'll find Why? Why me? This cannot be true Aren't we immortal? Why? Why me? From this fear I run away From this fear I shy away Why? Why me? Awareness of finitude Truth is a dish best served cold Why? Why? Is there a God punishing me? Is there a heaven for the doomed? When denial is a broken weapon Here I stand contemplating my own death Through isolation I strive In order to pursue life Tribulation has never left this hall Neither life nor death can make me whole Hope got past the defence line A barricade against myself I'm at war, no matter where I'll go Swallowing poison as a sour antidote I must stop striving for illusory ends The day will surely come, here I am Life is at war Life is at war with us Life is at war On life's battlefield Look for no allies but yourself Life is at war Life is at war with us Sailing on waves of turmoil Wavering into the downpour As rain plays the music of sadness A sinking wreck is what I am Consume the dreams Above my fearful thoughts Pristine and weak Devouring all hopes Until pain will guide me home Until pain will guide me home On the brink of eternity, my desperate hope I will never regain what once has gone Under the bright stars of a winter evening All this pain surely has some meaning Come down, grief Ride the waves As the cold wind blows A matter of time Till I drown in the glow On the brink of eternity, my desperate hope I will never regain what once has gone Under the bright stars of a winter evening All this pain surely has some meaning Where's God? Oh, I beg you I'm clinging to the threads of fate I know I'm sinking Will you give me some more time? Will you give me some more time? Consume the dreams Above my fearful thoughts Pristine and weak Devouring all hopes Until pain will guide me home Until pain will guide me home No more anger, no more rage Bound to face the final loss Can't no longer bear the pain Words are hollow and futile Sit with me Hear this silence so loud As my own hands grow cold Grief eternal Dolefulness For every failure I can't amend Life denied me I'm her hostage Silently waiting for this to end Sit with me Hear this silence so loud As my own hands grow cold So cold Death is my servant She's at my door Crossed the unknown seas To bring me home It ain't forever It ain't forever In a heartbeat We lose everything Every hour passed awaiting Keep on seeing my world through tears Hope's lurking out Death's lurking out Life is at war Life is at war with us Life is at war I'm ready for my departure Yes, bid me farewell Mourned the loss of beauty Ready for my journey to end I'm going beyond the shores To doze off Day has dawned Dark becomes light I am ready to move on Here I stand A bare framework I've come to terms with my own fate In my quiet expectation Child's sleep in reverse Tired, weak, placid Void of feelings, my journey is done Sit with me Hear the silence so loud As my scrawny hands grow cold So cold Within the vast sky We are fallen stars We flare up briefly Then die out Come down, grief Ride the waves As the cold wind blows A matter of time Till I drown in the glow
