Static Songtext
von Dark Tranquillity

Nothing of a man was he
Just a face of sleep and deception
Fell through all the way to the bottom
Learn to hold

Again we bow not to all that′s sacred
But the damned that hallow gaze
What's standing on these shorelines
Mute to another′s scream
Another world for silence
Like the static in their eyes
Against all fleeing logic
We let our minds go blank

Why define ourselves by misguided light?
How can we receive the static in their eyes?


Each blink of light an accuser
Each unlit shape an assassin
On the outer rim
With his back exposed
Are the shadows unending
Foot on the stairs

Again we bow not to all that's sacred
But the damned that hallow gaze
What's standing on these shorelines
Mute to another′s scream
Another world for silence
Like the static in their eyes
Against all fleeing logic
We let our hearts go blank

Nullified the ego, stay right back, stay right back
How can we receive that static?

Why?
Fear that strangles spirit
Denial speaks the truth
Fear that strangles spirit
Crunches me and you
Weakened are the senses, weakened are the words
Give me the static


Again we bow not to all that′s sacred
But the damned that hallow gaze
What's standing on these shorelines
Mute to another′s scream
Another world for silence
Like the static in their eyes
Against all fleeing logic
We let our hearts go blank
