Dark Tranquility – Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive) lyrics

This is a ghost town
Where life in the angers of failures fled
Bleed on my shining faces
Never indiscreet

What used to be
Our humility is gone
You are the mound of skull and bone

When living is to die
I’ve seen more moments in decomposition
Than in those hollow eyes

It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is where truth has gone to lie
Where death is most alive

Set flame to the ensnarers
And pierce that wooden shield
Branded by what claimed you
You wear the mark of death

We’ll tear from the loss and agony
And character defined
Stripped of all the tragedy
Where life is left to find

Go now
Run ‘til there’s nothing left
Go now
The dying has begun

It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is where truth has gone lie
Where death is most alive

So I flee from all that is me
To hide behind this pale, dead face

Whatever happened to desire, want, and need?
Whatever happened to integrity?
Imagination is the curse in all of this
What ever happened, and what’s left behind?

This is a ghost town
Our bodies dragged through endless streets
Go now
To never return
I’ve seen more pitiful humiliation
That you could never hide

No
It is the only place I know
Where death is most alive
It is where truth has gone to lie
Where death is most alive
