The Chosen Pessimist Songtext
von In Flames

Tell me which side I′m on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on (who is friend or foe)
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I′m dying
(Slowly)

In many ways, I'm the burden
That divides us from the light
In many ways, you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive


Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase, my free will, and, watch me heal

Tell me which side I′m on
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep, balance in this race?
Come faith, I′m dying

Bemused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, will I fly from here?
But as the chosen pessimist
I, I carve my name in stone
I, I carve my name in stone
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, I fly from here

How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
