In Flames
Jotun
[Verse 1]
I often dream of huge, numb buildings
Jet-black, sinister architecture
Being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
That few would take notice

[Verse 2]
And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
Imagining its weight, its silence
And the absence of excuses for a havoced life
And the privilege of a 22-kilometer tombstone

[Hook]
Jotun

[Chorus]
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation

[Verse 3]
There would be colonies
Mushroom-scattered, forever out of context
Rising spores from a dying world
To pollute, to chase away what's left
[Bridge]
Sun-white, pulverized desert stone
And serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids
Rewriting 4,500 years of history

[Verse 4]
Raping the statue of liberty
Outplays the acropolis
Inverting the fjords
Invades the N.Y. skyline to
Dream its own existence in one single final word

[Hook]
Jotun

[Chorus]
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation

[Chorus]
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation
[Verse 5]
Can we identify them
As the flint buried in our reptile skulls
Or the time-bomb coded in our DNA

[Hook]
Jotun

[Chorus]
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation
