In Flames - The Mirror's Truth lyrics



Tracks



01. The Mirror's Truth

This spectacle, our collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in.

I guess, we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth

Should I join the feast?
Should I acknowledge the leash?
The future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be.

Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this light explode.

The bleeding, we deceive them
Fuel the life that fades
At the height of reason
We should live by your laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope.

[x2]
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear

02. Eraser

Consume, just like a worm
Catch a glimpse of the sun through cracks
Everything, I swallow whole
And hide before the flood

The way I see things,
I wish they could be true
But take me all the way
The trail of the torment
Is not a path anymore
But take me for a ride

Delete the past, the fear
Delete the past, every step is pure
Delete the past from here, forward
Delete the past, every step is pure

Afraid of lost control
Still there's a part of me
That wants to feel insecure
Afraid of lost control
It keeps me on the edge

Delete the past, the fear
Delete the past, every step is pure
Delete the past from here, forward
Delete the past, every step is pure

The way I see things,
I wish they could be true,
But take me all the way

Delete the past, the fear
Delete the past, every step is pure
Delete the past from here, forward
Delete the past, every step is pure

03. Tilt

We all find ourselves,
In honour of the good cause.
How empty we've become,
With our sight to be the true force.

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is gone.

Lies and desperation lead us through as we're trying to be heroic,
Straight the world to what you manage.
Take a step back,
I'll tie you to it.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.

Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation,
Take a short cut, it all depends on the cost.
But as far as I remember,
There is nothing that will get back the days you lost.

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.

04. Abnegation

We believe but we are deceased
Or soon to be.
I act surprised
You've seen the seas,
It's just enough to feed the trees.

We believe but we are not free,
This wasteland is our prison.
I act surprised?
I see the bones through your skin,
This radiation from within.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe but we don't see
The coming of the storm.
Why act surprised?
There are warnings from time to time,
Signs of our own decline.

We are the scavengers,
We plunder and rape,
We're the guests here, the new breed,
But act like it's ours to take.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe but we don't see.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
