Traces - Vildhjarta

Silence is the noise

I hear from the world that speaks my name

Infusing my head with a promise of nothing

The meaningless now resonates and reverberates

Flooding through the sleeper's veins

I never dreamed

Lost in reflection with this obsession to blame

I walk the fine line between forward and rewind

I have foreseen this most vicious storm to come

It will be speechless it will be violent

Words are buried in the sounds of night

Continue with your ignorance

And bring this silence with you until the end

Empty shells whispering quietly

They speak to me of a common past

Teaching me how to become insane

To silence the ambivalence that's in my head

It is the only possible way to avoid the shame

Reminding me that I must suffer through

Reminding that I must persist

Erasing the traces that you will never find

I hope that you all can forgive me now

I am facing the fact that I am up against fate

So I put it all on the line soon it's time

This time what I leave behind is my legacy

I will force my mark upon everyone

The traces I leave they will speak my name

Day after day reminding myself

That my motive will overcome the consequences

I won't let repentance prevent my way

I will leave you behind with no regrets

Time passes through me in the shape of a dream

Clawing ferociously through my memories

Erasing the traces that you will never find

I hope that you all can forgive me now

I am facing the fact that I am up against fate

So I put it all on the line soon it's time

The clouds are getting darker

And the winds are colder now

When I am gone I will be gone

This is irreversible
