Dark Tranquillity
The Emptiness From Which I Fed
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?

AI! AI! AI! The emptiness from which I fed!

Be gone! Oh, yielding evidence of greed
Safe now on the other shore
Behind – The emptiness from which I fled

"Can silence be shared?
If so, can the perception of silence fit into the frame
Which is represent the unity for which we stand?
The confines representing a timeless sacrifice
No eye can of silence tell lie
No eye can of silence tell lie!"

Silence, yet the absence of sound does not feed me
The essence of beauty alone
Fall silent to lingering charm
Brought forth be the sun, shed light on the emptiness

AI! AI! AI! The emptiness for which I bleed!

What can be extracted from nothing?
What can be found within the emptiness?
Within the word?
Be gone! Oh, yielding evidence of greed
Safe now on the other shore
Behind – The emptiness from which I fled

Brought the light to the errors of our ways
As is denial, so is contempt
Introspective to all but one
Tear apart the terrible flames
No eye can of silence tell lie

How can I even begin the battle where no one wins?
From answers I now flee, I now flee, I now flee!

Screaming out too no avail
Have I become what for so long I've dread?
The missing pieces must now be replaced

What eyesight fails to grasp is the emptiness from which I fed
The emptiness…
