Dark Tranquillity все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

Jackal, aches for pain beyond me
Bestiality beckons - The anger set free
For there is no pain greater than thine
For there is no gain but the fury inside

Desolated since derived
Torn screaming from the gaping wound

If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue

Meet a lady that I know, so if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for, everybody's got their vice

A bolt of blazing gold,
lifted from the horizon's edge
Another radiant dawn sends new hope,
avowed my hearty pledge
My yearning to be part
of nature's truthful solitude
Of wisdom's inner light
that shines in mystic multitude

"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell and I stared in woe at the
world before me
My weeping eves could not bear to tell of the shattered kingdom in ruins
before me
What became of the lands that were? A pearl in the nest of memories
Forever gone...departed by the minds of man
Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood
Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn your ignorant ways

"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell
and I stared in woe at the world before me
My weeping eyes could not bear to tell
or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me
What became of the lands that were?
A pearl in the nest of memories
Forever gone... departed by the minds of man
Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood

Take the loss to heart
A new beginning
Start anew
Apocalyptic bliss
Lost to the hours
Bare essential needs
Succumb to this
Non-reality

Willed by winter's so called frost
Fix the in anxieties from grip
The frost that burned the honorees
Underneath the heavy clouds
The lifted sword, the broken shield
The hand that drew the final word
From the frozen mouth of Arkhangelsk

waiting for the signs to bring
the first to sing
felt inbetween these fears
set to unknown tunes
so tempt these fragile fiends
a grace gone dark
you'll never know
never feel

Do not hide your sorrow
Or banish it from sight
Take it out to burn
Turn the pain against it

In our day that holds no other
What are we
The fuel or the flame

Есть такое универсальное правило. Оно не только про музыку. Как отличить просто талант от гения? Очень просто. Когда слушаешь талантливых исполнителей, говоришь себе: "Да, так и должна звучать хорошая музыка", а когда слушаешь гениев думаешь: "Никогда бы не подумал, что музыка может звучать и захватывать вот так". Dark Tranquillity каждый раз выпускают альбомы, от которых на ум приходит именно вторая мысль.

Если немного покаламбурить с названием этой свежей пластинки, то сразу же вспоминается броуновское движение. Беспорядочное движение самых разных частиц, жидкостей и газа. Только тут не таблица Менделеева перемешана, а наследие современной музыкальной индустрии.

С одной стороны, здесь узнаваемый, как вкладыши от жвачки из детства, MDM. Станне фирменно зубоскалит, иногда отвлекаясь на свой неподражаемый чистый голос, по привычке аллюром скачут риффы, тащат соляки. С другой стороны, здесь зернь и скань электроники, клавишных, post’а.

Ни один слушатель не останется в сушь и впроголодь. Музыканты не играют, они визионируют с самыми разными средствами. Их по инерции называют клубными резчиками по металу, а они уже давно переквалифицировались в музейных гравировщиков. И даже если вам не понравится звук на этом альбоме, вы не сможете сказать, что Dark Tranquillity - это эпигоны, застрявшие на полустанке 90-х.

Outsmart the fever
And take us farther from
The killing life in capsules
A life that can't belong

So if I wake up dead to the world
With the helm at my command
The reaching out of this

As false as our minds our eyes refuse to see
They claw for the falseness in me
From where all life springs anew
We are cleansed through the crystal fire

Fill me with sound, fill me with hatred
Let my life bring life to the soil
The soil beneath my feet

Now oppression stalks the remnants of compassion,
brewing hatred to surface in wicked actions
Cloaked in peace and mercy, force their false confessions
Sentenced am I dying, cleansed from all salvation

"Defy our accusations and a certain death you'll meet
A fool denies the obvious, and fools we shall defeat"
All sanity now vanquished, ever mould beyond control

I tell you here
of all the crimes and hours broken
what never came, will never be the same
I tell you this, I tell you what

the mind has been flooded
all the exits sealed
a poison set to enter

Despite what is out there burning
Our faces remain intact
We hear the screaming of the voiceless
Yet we are numb to the pain of others
We filter out the light
It never penetrates our blinding screens
We can take a stand

There never was a night like this
How could there ever be
Through sweat and velvet misery
The fever race in me

Cornered in a symetrical design
Spherelike chrome on a sea enraged

Force of anger, Mordant senseless wrath
Manifold is the Terminus of oneself
Invocate ye lord of the Left-behinds
Preserve a seat for the weakened minds

Reserving that limpid yet so used
Veil of deceiving hostility
Close now is the threshold of insanity

[2002] Damage Done

Went inside the caves of seven wolves
Felt of the forces that lend themselves to speed
those final words to fracture the very structure
can't stand this glacial pace
the damage done

What if:

a) some things are destined to failure
b) some things are never meant to be
c) someone never sees
d) someone never opens
e) somehow we are different

To each; a blind eye
To all; a filter of self control
To none; a sense
That we are lost inside

Victims not witnesses
An accomplice not a bystander
In a time when words collide

He takes a stand
And looks his enemy in the eye
This goes no further
I have the upper hand
This ends on my terms
I challenge non-existence
Every single day

For thou sweepst me in thy robe of guilt
with garments forged in spiteful steel
No tainted pride shall make conviction cease

For none shall be unto thee proven
worthy of thy outmost fear
Let alone the silent longing

It comes from all we're giving
in seemingly endless supply
as signals cross defiantly into this volatile mix
we charge and the stubborn mind repeats the errors
to challenge our grounds
either soar above or the detour takes you right back down
to where no one wants to see
misgivings in this starry nightlights fill in the blanks that one will fall

Time conceals itself in error
when all is turned to lie
oh blissful rapture flee from me
the liquid light shares its grandeur
the spring of Eden shall never run dry
Creation holds its breath

Tomorrow is no friend of mind

wrestled on its back
the ego showed his face
charged up, receiving
came out knowing

hopeless intrusion
where nothing can be found
strewn, the seeds were wasted

What I'd never abandon
We channel darkness well
The evidence in pools of blood
I cannot penetrate, I cannot penetrate

Will you come for my forgiveness (There's nothing left to give)
No response to your repentance (Just empty me)

You burned the ruin
The torched remains
And set the precedent
Of innocence betrayed

With the coming of our ages
Will the chasm clear

Fabric (Ткань)

Нас постоянно что-то окружает,
Оно не имеет материального обличия,
Оно ждет того момента, когда ты станешь злым,
И тогда оно наполняет тебя.
Это выходит из тебя друг,
Но это не страх - это делает нас сильнее,

"Scars torn open
Bondaged slave
Eating my wrists"

A thrust that numbs the pain
Secondary now the instinct
Thrust beyond control
Chaotc

Disaffected, left to internal struggle
Let ring with the cries of disaccord
They told of outposts firm as trees
Whispers laid no basis for
The plunge to the chasm depths
Seen none, nor felt the safety
Perimeter alarm

I think I just forgot
To pick up the shells
From my recent discharge
And you took the blame
Explanations falter
To ears fallen deaf
Wherever I go I get lost

[Whispering:]
No truth, no lie
No truth, no lie
No truth, no lie

It twists and turns
Into something that is not to be
What truth is left

Set against these hardest hours
Anger paled, for in this fear
the theft of privacy
We all see it break sometimes,
see it tear us apart
that which left behind
screams out loud this night
So much is asked in silence

now as the lights go down
deeper now it seems than long before
there are no noises here
just a silence gone bad
something I will never hide
this urging need to

invite the darkside in

Enter Suicidal Angels;

How hungry we've become;
like animals naked in shame
Fed with the hooves of apocalypse
that galloped down, disordered worlds behind

From word to a word I was led to a word

Why do I see her
to never ending nights
Why do I see her
wearing nothing but the dark

Have you come in to warn me
of what I cannot see?
You want to tell me something

Hours Passed In Exile

What if some things are destined to failure?
What if some things are never meant to be?
What if someone never sees?
What if someone never opens?
What if somehow we are different?

Drink this water again
That runs by without mercy
Where your name is lost
Drink and forget yourself
This featureless stream
That carries your face further on
These waters know you
It calls you by your own true name

Like lust has yet to fail me
No power to subside
My instincts never broken
This downfall so close at hand

The thing that scares me most
Is the fear I see in others
And the thing that really

Between the white and the black
Where the grey interacts
Within the margin of reason and lies
A line must be drawn

Fear of an opposing
Thought is ours
Ages upon ages of distrust

Eyes that meet to say farewell
And linger through the sleepless nights
A trail of days that end in tears
But I can never be there

The rush of hours that never seem to end
What life has dealt you cannot comprehend
I am the absentee

we are to be something here again
we are to play soldiers now, pretend
we are born inside these endless halls of shame
we are jaded by the error-ways of man

it doesn't make us strong
it doesn't make us strong
the things that i find stranger here

and although it can be argued
whether time will ever come to end
there is an overcoming sense of failing
if you never can see the end
in the giving of our hope eternal
we stumble blindly and forget the way
is there ever time for answers
when the world comes tumbling down

Gently hold our heads
gently hold our heads on high

Aimless time in fear new hide
overthrow the plan
confusion lies in all my words
mad is the soul

Inside the particle storm
Where clouds of napalm shimmer
With the promise of one final dawn
Inside the particle bliss
Where rages collide into nothingness
And the erasions, one final kiss

I crawl in the garden of eden

Let the horizon lead
Onto the ether of the night
Draped across the burning heavens
Flying homeward like a bird of the soul

Shattered into a million brighter stars
Each flare unique and rare
Scattered across forever

Lethe

give me to drink of the fluid
that disintegrates
and lend me the sweet balm and blessing
of forgetfulness, empty and strong
lethe
oh, lethe

The unsaid tone of weak despair
Fail to resonate
Frayed ends of our binding threads
Will disintegrate
By the laws our phiysique state
Failure to communicate
None too sentient
Hear no, see no works its magic

What if this image was taken
In an instant erased from the world?
What if the truth is too far
And you reality can't cope with the distance?
In the abstract a mind never challenged
Is the bearer of merciless fate?

All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are

Wings of fire burn the night
Slumbering eyes their flares shall greet
Let the past cling on its futile self
And may the present rush for the future's glare

Grave to cradle
cradle to grave
so infinity clash

You are all that matters
In my private demonology

Those who fail us now
The sons of wishes
The bastard child of dream
Enemies of hope
Let it be gone - it's all pretend

We no longer support ourselves
we live through each others tears
we no longer caress, no longer take hold
til this will be over again
the dream is over when all this begins
the past not part of the deal
the failing words i once said to you
you turned and walked out the door

All has now been broken
On streets I dare not walk
Freedom is an illusion
I build my fences high
If there was something out there
I've learned not to expect
There's a hundred million reasons
Not to care

All is not been broken
On streets I dare not walk
Freedom is an illusion
I build my fences high
If there was something out there
I've learned not to expect
There's a hundred million reasons
Not to care

There is this face in the still water
I can't remember ever wearing
Like fingerprints on your heart
Reading out the last lines of code
To the untrained eye a secret
I bled away the last of you

Sought trust in shapes of combined results

It's all this reeking ego
craves the sun to never set
why do threads of anger never linger,
why does the ember turn to stone?

To where the longing goes in
with the sins of old
a face of nothing,

No-One

Uncontrolled spaces
Lifeless 'til provoked
Deep uncharted oceans
Nonexistent 'til claimed
Great raging fires
Silent

This life was thrown
Out to the elements for failure
This life was over before it had it's time
The distance blurred the edges
And sickened the resolve
Our overturned perception
Held forgotten virtues true

What came as no surprise
To a jaded mind no less
Insight comes to soothing grace
Left to waiting days
..another chord unstrummed

Our secret's safe and sound
Solid now unless it breaks in two

For things to begin, scorch a flame
Your fire merged with sin
Gone's the distant liar
Never and never again.

Keep it down from all these raven
Which post-descends creation
What is done is dead

This is a tale long to live but alas so short to tell
By the wind and by time, by everything that flees
A torment of my liking: exploring extremes
All thoughts secluded as fear stalks its blooded soil
In the winding path where a chain now rattles
With links merely death can break
Stains of pride - derelict
In feverish visions of agonising light

Insufficient facts
Make up for a frail foudation
Breeding the obscene
For the opinion
Customized
Is the insight null and substance void upon these wheels
Our world will roll
Let it be decided

[Verse 1]
At a certain point it happens
Life becomes to real
And nothing can hold back
What is about to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how close we need to get

We are the outstretched fingers
That seize and hold the wind...

The strangeness of awakening
In an oh so silent world
Breathlessly waiting
For the first proud beams of light
As the hours grow longer

Cowardice, this chain of events
Gather and plot the ensnaring of me (ensnaring)
Gone now the sense of lust
Is there a cost for the reckless excess?
Taken in the growth and trust
Retalitory strike at the weakest spot
Raked away the remains of my fall
That laid scattered cross plains of regret

Striking fear in the hearts of men
The war machine will leave you dead
Rockets launching, lightning up the sky
The end is near, it's your time to die
Lightning war hititng fast and hard
No time to act the world caught off guard
The Fuhrer's troops invade the land
To spread his teachings the master plan

Fast fading roses
Non-lingering words
Scythe be my instrument
Through dreams I now rage

No guidance is me offered
No forgiveness thee is promised
How can distance be a factor

Riddled by the trappings of words that makes the edges blur
here on the outskirts of sincerity
and pride stretched as far as words can reach
by the lure of higher meaning
there's something out there
lost behind the power lines

It's all the same to me

\Voice of the Shadow of Beauty\ - sung by Anders Fridèn
/Voice of the Shadow of Darkness/ - sung by Mikael Stanne

\shadows play
in my wilderness' mindscape
they seek\
/one spiteful and wicked
one humble and meek/

We are delusional
To go against mortality
Still we fight, love and create
As the only creatures
In on life's grand secret
We sense the pointlessness beyond

There is a void between our hands

Develop every aspect
Enhance its foetal form
Distort for the purpose of another aim

For you shall know me
See why in shadows I hide
Lest be thy own defeat
Content refined

"Come with me," he said and erased it from his mind
"Be with me now," but of love we are frightened stiff
We'd rather leave and head for the skies
Than say all the right words too soon

"And I never thought you would
But always knew you could"

Like a crack in the clean slate
I see emotion take over the rational
we are the favoured sons of reason
with tools at our disposal
squandered day by day

strip the thoughts
heal the system

Nothing of a man was he
his true face of sleep a deception
fell through all the way to the bottom
learned to hold

Again we vowed not to hold sacred
but to damn that hollow gaze
unsteady on these shorelines

It starts below
The pile and the burning in the
Darkness in the recipe
And fire in the soul
To paralyze and strangle hold

Disable the design
The reminisce of reality

This is a ghost town
We lie on the edges of failure's fled
Lead on by shining faces, levelling extremes
What used to be, our humility is gone
Walk around, with skull and bones
We're living just to die
I see more moments indict of decision
The windows are our lights

In every hour every day
This chosen solitude is gone
The pressure coursing
Through your every nerve
Will rise and fade away
There's madness to this method
Conformity now on display
When confidence become the enemy

Strangelove
Dance the dividing line

We shall burn the earth
We shall burn our lives

For the tallest tree shall battle most
The wind it leaves the week behind

Silence in shivering solitude
obligations pressure for all to bear
All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies
Can mere words fill
the emptiness from which I fed?

Be gone, Oh yielding evidence of greed
Safe now on the other shore

You try to hide the fact
hidden from yourself
your own favourite entertainer
is none other than the one we call you
and you need the others to fortify your disgust for the worst of us,
to the rest of us

Entertain the thought that we are still alive

To remain objective
To a closer call
Secretly rejected
And to mediocrity fall
Caught on the downslopes of life

The patted shoulder remembers
The elbowed side resists

Come and dance through my vanity's halls
Welcome to my exhibition

Ornaments fall
The fate of my art, condemned
And the creative seed
That grows to the tune of the harvest song
Embody my lifelong passion

What if you are an island of sorrow?
Then I'll be the raging sea
What if you are the region's dreams?
Then I'll be the storm, all where fire rages

Then you are loneliness,
Your name on the door,
Just like a diagnose for a venomous disease

Dreamt up a new word today
In my ignorance I gave it meaning
Who was I to know
To say it is to know it
To hear it is to believe, is to believe

I dreamt the world would end
I was not wrong

Seen through these dreamless eyes
Blind buildings stark to the sky
Silhouettes as dividing walls
Guarding the eternal secret
Where is the flame to haunt you
Who do you answer to
My lies are always wishes
Lies that make me

A human force stronger than logic
beyond the focus and the grander ideas
one microcosmos in this wretched piece of hell
distant memories of what empathy we felt
no revolution in what they must overthrow
in on a secret we all know
the need that is our enemy

Devoid of life
Far from the strengthening force
from which it feeds
The unbroken silence swear allegiance to thee
Behold the answers that darkness sets free

Freedom beyond the enslavement
Never let loose upon the world

Unless another wall is breaking
Nothing can come of this
Elusive

Against our better judgement
Allow our image to stand ground
Turn around and

What we always fear and loathe
Becomes of us
Repay the visit of our loss
Reset the marks again
The turning point
Seems to be holding on

Sands of ages and the stars above

Upon our evening when the sun fired blanks
There rode the sickness out of our sight
Carried torches burned out long before it's time
Among these ruins where our love to be found

Ambition falters when no better is to be known
Cling to the unfounded pride

Let me tell you about the loss of all
The failing of all that we hold dear
Wrapped up nicely in ourselves

Chaos resolves
That which order defiles
Worthless lives
Are ordered blind

Deeper shades of red descending
Smear our names, the stains unending
Turn forgiveness,
Break the lens distorted
Crush the infidel and turn about
Famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder
Eradicate the lungs and take us higher

gentle storm / thundering silence
inferior force / uncontrolled calm
vital unlife / logic/chaos/logic

the tone of which his birth ascend
the beat that of a heart descend
repeating in the infinite
an insight made it clear

Gentle storm / thundg silence
Inferior force / uncontrolled calm
Vital unlike / logic/chaos/logic

The tone of his birth ascend
The beat that of a heart descend
Repeating in the infinite
An insight made it clear

There is a silent man in a tower
Mute in a blinded world
Yet words dance on virgin lips
Freezing the winds of blood

Clad in layers of darkest velvet
Drenched in the gloomy light of dawn
...All Black

~ Through Smudged Lenses ~

Let no one be themselves
Turn of the century lies not within the others
Turn on the watchful eye
The blindness ends tonight
Shelter for the shattered in unison we strive
Dare to disassociate and cut the binds that tie

Come death or dearling
the claws of the raven hold fast
Enticed and starving
a lustful revenge to the last

Unlight flood the seeker's eye

Come flame or false hope

It gets ahead of us
Blind ambition meets our desperation
It gets ahead of us
It leads a charge to where we should not go
It makes no sense to me
Our willingness to hold on to belief
It got away from us

Faithly arisen | Tenderly torn
Dreamlike decision, unconciously born

Firm in conviction yet tempt me they can
deny me of trust and a demon I hide

A drive to be less than the fortunate
a dream in the casket of eden

Tongues, lost in me
yours be the sharp and the vile
Glide neath my skin
storm trough my nerves

I bury the nomad years
hours in the earth
couldn't exorcise these searing,

there were words of lust
in these arms of the stranger
and there in silence though were words of no milder
so in thinking of that madness
that ravage the thoughts
in the loneliest of hours

I resist without control

Time and space unite
era of darkness - we mourn
Times of sorrow despite
our preach is put to scorn...

In ways like these I shall be reborn
to my words I conform
To seek the path of knowledge through time

Enthroned through this age of confusion an urge,
the weakness and flooy since aeons emerged,
Created life in fetters from cradle to grave
A future in darkness with mankind enslaved

Trail of life decayed - wasteland whall prevail
Hatred lies in store - chaos evermore

In orbit they pass around you - the memories from abandoned past
Images from within your mind bring unknown feelings into your veins

Delve into thy twillight past, a voyage done before
The borderland 'twixt life and death - existing evermore
Emerging from material guise - an ever-living soul
Thy spirit lives forever more, in spite of aim or goal

I feel the silence come
in rooms I now detest
the chill of the touch
in infinite night
I thought I had it

one life
one fear

So after all that has been said
Can we find a way back to when
The days were ours to take
And nothing ever hurt
And we failed to offer or forgive

Reach out for the favors
Take down the hopeful light

Over the moor of mist and through valleys of fate
I fly on my voyage through this moonlit landscape
of re-emerged figments of imagination
I am aroused in sleep....aroused in sleep

Far beyond the gate which reflects in the closed eye
reveal that a dreamscape lies therein
A yearning for a world

Hey
What is your life about today?

A pit of emptiness
A close resemblance
To what you thought is right or wrong
You don't belong
The face you hold

Crown the impulse that deliberately fall
defeat in spiritless action
Isolation - burn the greenwood
order of the vertical path
Descendent
crawl in the remnants of one thousand lies
Restaging
torching a world that was left behind
