Dark Tranquillity
Still Moving Sinews
[Verse 1]
No-one survives such an attack
And we all stood like monuments
Baring the nails in her back
Still moving sinews
In a graceful impression of life
Shyly the arms, shyly the breasts
Fold fear die
[Chorus]
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
[Verse 2]
I knew it all the time
The misanthropes were right
To crucify themselves
In the need of a saviour
Still moving sinews
Struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn
Caught in the nest
Of the impending dark fate
[Chorus]
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
[Bridge]
Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges
Where faces stiffen
Plagued with the frost of disease
Our capsules barely meet
[Verse 3]
The worms of disorder
Like living black numbers
That drip from her pergament skin
Joined in sweet fury
To anoint the decay
Fragile and reddened in lifelost array
[Chorus]
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
[Outro]
Joined in sweet fury
To anoint the decay
