In Flames - Siren Charms Album Lyrics

In Plain View

The fire
My heads all wired
In plain view
There's nothing in the way
I see with clarity
The eye of destiny
But just a little spark and once again... I don't know

Deep inside
The memories that are left behind
Close my eyes
I've been hopelessly lost in the fear
Are you for real?

Are we the only ones?
It's all dark in here
Do I just waste my time?
Searching for exits in infinite space

All the lights
Is that the future or another lullaby?

---

Everything's Gone

Where I have nothing
Fearless and whole
Find out what you are
Back in time

No
I won't
I need this
Truth is...

Once you had enough
Break out
Room to breathe
To love
Before you're gone

I'm the one
Who brought the mountain down
Tore it piece by piece... Down
Everything's gone

Where I have nothing
There's no hate
Room to breathe
No envy and nothing to lose

---

Paralyzed

Vultures descend
Feeding on us
There's no sympathy

Breeding the hate

Turn away
Run away
From all the things we have to do

And it tears away our hearts and our soul

It's like we're on our own
To figure out
Cast out
Paralyzed
Rewind
There's no time
The wasteland... It's an indication

Out of excuses
Will we understand?

That we're on our own
To figure out
Cast out
Paralyzed
This time
We have found the wasteland

Through Oblivion

False affection took the best of me
Deep inside, the absent mind
Denial and hypocrisy
All this the same
To do this we part our ways

My destination, my mission, my intuition
so close I feel it changing me
Suddenly I know, I have to let it go
All that's been lost, all that's been won
Now I feel right before me
Intentions are pure, I'm out of reach

My destination, my mission, my intuition
So close I feel it changing me
I might dare to believe
And I have wings (I have)
Nothing and everything at the same time
Oh, a brighter sun

Save me from my fears
And darkest thought of her
Carry me through times
Through oblivion

My destination, my mission, my intuition
So close I feel it changing me
I might dare to believe
My destination, my mission, my intuition
So close I feel it changing me
I might dare to believe, cos now I know!

With Eyes Wide Open

A fate that we deserve
There's no escape
We're walking backwards
I'm on your side
But life's a selfish thing
Like broken promises

A thousand times
Try to fake it
Just another liar

It's the wall that we are building
All the things that we made wrong
Don't hate yourself if you walk away
You reach, but nothing's there
Time and time again
Colors fade from black to grey

How come we walk a mile
Just to shatter what we love?
Eyes wide open
Reflections of an unfamiliar face
Saying -You know you are heading-

The lost dream
Of what could have been
It makes no difference

Siren Charms

How far until the edge?
These wrong ways are mine
But the whole world can just go to hell
This life is killing me
My feelings inside I can't explain
I'm awake, but not for long

The hope is still not gone
Somewhere behind the clouds
I'll set you free if you follow me
Reach out touch the hand of God

I gave you the story of my life
Some of my precious time
But I'm tired of this
With every promise of eternal light
Another feeling dies

When The World Explodes

I'm right here,
When the world explodes,
Try to remember these words,
When the world explodes!

In the darkest of nights,
You are my endless fire inside,
Across the waters and back to shore,
There's space in time, you guide me.

Afraid there's not much time,
Life's a matter of moments,
Face the truth,
That I cannot run,
I always known.

So if I never get to say this to you,
You should still know, dry your eyes,
Find a stream that leads toward the water of the divine,
Come lay with me.

Face the truth, that I cannot run,
I always known (I always known)

So if I never get to say this to you,
You should still know, dry your eyes,
Find a stream that leads toward the water of the divine,
Come lay with me (lay with me)

So if I never get to say this to you,
You should still know,
Dry your eyes... dry your eyes.
Find a stream that leads toward the water of the divine
Come lay with me.

Rusted Nail

You want someone to blame
The one who drives the rusted nail
But who's left will never care
Pretending becomes a chore
All you search for, a little piece of mind
Too far, too deep, the two faced smile
So lost, you feel, I know

Wide awake but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd
Wide awake, always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I'm there until the end of time

Leave the doomed behind
Search with different light
You were trying to remember
But it's all make believe

You are, you are, you are

Wide awake but still asleep (wide awake but still asleep)
Always a stranger in a crowd

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I'm there until the end of time

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want, I'm there

Just this once
Listen to the words I say
If you want I will
I'm there until the end of time

Dead Eyes

Throw it all away
Until we are erased
But it doesn't mean a thing

And I can't remember
What the skies looked like
Will I find out
That I'm late for salvation?

What if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away

This is my world now
I can't let you bring me down
This new faith guide me through
Things will come my way
Put it down and join the lie
Then my eyes will see again

Gravity takes control
Don't forsake my troubled times
I'm starting to regret not telling you
All the things I should have

Roll the dice just one more time
Don't let it slip away

I will be reborn

I'm gonna take the world on
Someday I will
I'm gonna take the world on
Someday I will

Throw it all away
Afraid I will drift on the open sea
I regret not telling you
All the things I should have

Roll the dice just one more time
Don't let it slip away

Monsters In The Ballroom

Without the sense of space or time
The infinite
The endless static
The doubt. We never had a way

Let us play a game
If you take my hand
I'm going to get you out of here
Away from the monsters in the ballroom
And the swinging chandeliers

Tormented minds they wander
Drifting away from the light
I will lift you up my friend
You have to learn to breathe again

Unlock the secrets
Let us find the memories
Find ourselves some ruins
Turn them into something

You are lost within
Fading out
A world that threw you away

---

Filtered Truth

Were all in this together
So I was told
All for one, one for none

When it's time
You know this could never be justified
But still
You take the hatred home

Is this what you were searching for
The wounded and the filtered truth
Don't ignore a life that's real

How come you feel so lone
Is it the rage inside
Wipes away
The rage inside

You're battered against the world
You knew,
A place to hide from everything
And it had to make you fall

How come you feel so lone
Is it the rage inside
Wipes away
The rage inside

How come you feel so lone
Is it the rage inside
Wipes away
The rage inside

How come you feel so lone
Is it the rage inside
Wipes away
The rage inside

The Chase

(Bonus Track)

The chase
A wild one
Has to become
Figuring out where you need to be
Find the pulse
Into with all you see
It's infront of you
Every other way
Leads to the same old great wall

Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me

In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me

Sometimes it's hard to believe
The stories remain
I should just force right through
I guess it's for a reason
we waiting in line at the station

Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me

In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me
Have faith in me

Hit first with the speed of light
I won't be showing songs of me

In vain
Sometime
I'll find right where I belong
A life that was meant to be
Have faith in me

Become The Sky

(Bonus Track)

I can see it all
against in my way
Before I end time
I close my eyes

It feels like a could find
a place in this mess
And I dream that I'm blind

And I'm weightless
when I become the sky

The earth, the moon,
the sun beneath me
This is letting go
I'm all over
I reach far and wide

I want to be the one
That believes
I feel like I'm
Part of this mess and I wish

That I'm weightless
when I become the sky

The earth, the moon,
the sun beneath me
This is letting go
I'm all over
I reach far and wide

The earth, the moon,
the sun beneath me
This is letting go
This is on my mind
When the world be mine
