Insomnium Where the Last Wave Broke 1. Where The Last Wave Broke How does it feel? To welcome the new day Not worth saving To fall down on own imprudent acts The wind answers quietly Clears the black smoke far thick to see Unfolds the true nature of man "And this fire it burns Consuming us all Withered garden for posterity Inheritance in flames" "When the mankind moves Rest of the life shakes All once green turned into stone Flesh into dust and soil Where the last wave broke The shores blazed red And place once called home Turned into hall of dead" How does it feel? Bite the hand that feeds you Poison the well that waters you Prospects made from castles of sand Legacy in barren land Breed, greed, bleed Legacy in barren land The last wave broke Prospects made from castles of sand 2. Into The Evernight Listen to the night, hearken to the silence The wind sings in fir-trees, forest's music rings Rueful is the tune, wailful the soughing Soothing is the choir, murmur of the trees Time to forget all the heartache and pain Time to leave behind all the toil and travail Here where the water mirrors a still sky Here a fair place for a child to lie Under the woeful sky, moss-grown our bed tonight Here we sprawl in mellow darkness In warm caress of the night Far away from worlds betrayals Afar from all the Heavens might Better to dream, far sweeter to slumber Than face the cold days, bear the grim longing Time to rest a while, close the drowsy eyes Sleep till the dawn, till the bleak morning Heed not the rustle or hoots of the owl Heed not the ghosts that still dwell in the soul Night brings us solace and serenity deep Night brings at last neverending sleep Better it would be to sleep forever In silent shades of the evernight Sweet are the dreams in the groves of death Far away from the earthly woes Sound is the sleep under spruces boughs Serene are the dreams in the darkling shade Gone are the cares of the waking world Forgotten the sorrows of the weary heart 3. The New Beginning Another break of dawn Forces the shadows recede Breaks the barrier of clouds Blaze a trail for the light In the arms of white soil Lies a fallen boy Left alone to freeze to death Grown numb in the cold This is the new beginning Start with a clean sheet Redemption of the liberty Freedom through the bloodshed When hatred old for centuries Poisons the minds of sane Distrust kills all the kindness Envy slain the ideal Demise of spirit and flesh No victory in death Only the defeat remains When the sons take fathers' lives What good can come out of this? Is this the price we must pay? Redemption of the liberty Freedom through the bloodshed This is the new beginning Rebirth through devastation All the hope of a nation In the hands of few Another chapter in common story Nothing new under the sun This is the new beginning Sad ending to others
