Empty Me — Dark Tranquillity

What night never abandoned In shallow darkness dwell The evidence in pools of black Light cannot penetrate, light cannot penetrate

Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me

Lifted from the living days To be bent right out of shape Let blades and satisfiers Cut and lick these wounds In reversal of repentance This bastard son of lies To bring meaning to it all, meaning to it all

Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me

Take now from this body A coward's heart And a soul beyond repair Empty me

Between insecurity and reason Self deprecation as a means to the end Out of reach but never closer A cure that searches for the cause Cause for chaos

Have you come for my forgiveness There's nothing left to give No response to your repentance This empty me

Drawn from memories the fragments linger On ages of thought and seconds of sleep What is it here that tempts the night To stab the day and kill the light
