lethe

• dark tranquillity - lethe
  
  give me the drink of the fluid
  that disintegrates
  and lend me the sweet balm and blessing
  of forgetfulness, empty and strong
  
  hold me near, unravel the stars
  as i speed through the heavens
  speed through the night
  for you are my blade and my rope
  your are my
  lethe
  
  in currents of cobalt
  you storm through my heart
  to sever, to puncture
  the memories that burn
  let sweep through the arteries
  in sharp stabs of pain
  your talonlike fingers to kill me again
  
  steal me, invade me and charge me again
  for i burn and i shudder
  burn with each movement of
  
  so, cleansed through a floodlight
  i appear; reforged and renewed
  caressed by the sweet balm and blessing
  of forgetfulness, empty and strong
  lethe,
  hold me near, my one friend and guide
  as i drown through your fingers
  drown through your love
  for you are the life i hate
  you are my
  lethe
  
  drag me down, in passionate sighs
  with the ocean above me
  and flames in my eyes
  and grant me a life i can live
  without...
