I Am the Void

Drink this water again That runs by without memory Where your name is lost Drink and forget yourself This featureless stream That carries your face further on These waters know you It calls you by your one true name Have you ever noticed The spaces in-between Where life is in recession And agony begins? I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the... void! You rest your weary head On to the underworld And let the silent whispers Guide your waking dreams In time with the pulse Of what is long since gone The beat of the fallen Is cold already in your blood The machinery of chaos Comes alive in you Chained to the grinding wheel Of forces unseen I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the... void! I am the void! You have always been between another set of walls Outside of which the world is watching down on you Inside the silence speaks Kept close to the endless alibi Never reaching out Never give in I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the void --- I Am The Void - Dark Tranquillity
