Lethe - Dark Tranquillity

Give me the drink of the fluid

That disintegrates

And lend me the sweet balm and blessing

Of forgetfulness, empty and strong Lethe!

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…
