Insanity's Crescendo Songtext
von Dark Tranquillity

Gently hold our heads
Gently hold our heads on high

Aimless time
In fear now hide
Overthrow your plan
Confusion lies
In all my words
Mad is the soul

We barricade ourselves
In holes of temperament
This is the dawning of a new age
A heart that beats
The wrong way
Insanity′s crescendo

Gently hold our heads
Gently hold our heads on high


Wind color, second sight
A touch of silence
And the violence of dark
Illusion span the aroma of time
Shadow of life
And the scent of nothingness, void

Insanity's crescendo

Infinite fall of instinct
Order of one spells deceit
Infinite lack of trust
Order of one obsolete

Oh, escaping time
Is all we lost ahead
When it′s found
Can judgment make amends?

From force-fed impressions
Let us mortify the mind
Each soul to violate
Each instinct to be rendered false

Torn asunder, the conventional forms
And frames
Now for the blood of heaven
Unlearn
And the cleansing comes


Felt a tremor in the pillars of the senses
Cursed victim of a distance near
The first dream
The clearest vision

Aimlessly steer
Towards our night
We belong to thee
Oh, dearest bliss
Unnerving silence
Entangled within

With dimly begotten in clarity found
Virgin-like tears for impurity bound
Beseech be who darken the stars and the sky
To greet now this vision, an emerald's dawn

Empty the sun
Carve out the wind
Insanity's crescendo
Tear the blinded eye
Eye, eye, eye, eye, eye

Insanity′s crescendo

Lament of thunder
Take comfort in fear
Lightning veins
In crude exterior

Voice the oppression
Voice the hypocrisy
Lay down the law
That made instinct fall

Escape now and revert
This cleansing rebirth
Torn asunder be
Affect me not
Darkened vision
Insanity′s crescendo

Grimly tread the footsteps torn
Rebellious stand, the seeker tall
Thorn of insanity's hand
Take this darkened vision
From my sight

Nailed to the image of ignorance
Each soul to violate
For the blood of heaven
