T.A.N.K. LYRICS

1. Away?

[Instrumental]

2. Symbiosis

One more bullet inside
One more just to get loud
You're about to witness
Determination
Walking on this path
Nourished by disdain
Hate and anger, seeking answers
It'll makes us stronger

Faded shapes
All I see is so blurred
Faded blare
I can barely stand but this

[Chorus:]
Symbiosis is now the very last trance
Symbiosis, that's all that remains for us

Another kind of...
Yes, it' s another kind of fight
You're about to suffer
Retaliation
Propaganda lurks
But our eyes still burn
Fascinated, animated
By an endless fire

Faded shapes
All I see is so blurred
Faded blare
I can barely stand but this

[Chorus:]
Symbiosis is now the very last trance
Symbiosis, that's all that remains
It's worth striving for

Tied to a pole, an indiscernible force
Drains our blood and now I see it
Flying in this beam of light, billions of red drops
Slowly corroding the fences of our brain

Faded shapes
All I see is so blurred
Faded blare
I can barely stand but this

[Chorus]

3. From The Straight And Narrow

Each time we wander
From the straight and narrow

From the straight and narrow

I am sick of going round in circles and praying
For awareness towards
The weight on my shoulders
Oh! I’ve stopped believing such a load of rubbish
Tell me how long will I endure
This weight on my shoulders

[Chorus:]
Everybody fights the same cause
Everybody tries but we are (we are)
Selfish fake illusions
Every time we tear apart
Every time we sink we wander (wander)
From the straight and narrow

Spread your venom
You'll find your way inside
Take me away
I stay unaffected

Talking in riddles
The more I learn the less I know
Tell me how long will I endure
The weight on my shoulders

[Chorus]

Hear now, the words are falling
From the deepest of my flesh and blood
I'll spit all my anger on you anyway
Don't you ever get this?

[Chorus]

4. Baneful Storm

We came in this world to remain in our filth
Feeding ourselves with decaying concepts
I cannot pretend to another life
But can I feel
There is something to be done
Why should I keep my eyes shut?
A thrill runs through the spine

[Chorus:]
This baneful storm is spreading its ills
Like a poisonous dance, swallowing us

We stand on the earth, stuck in our own dirt
Almost as stuck in time as our ideas
Ignoring what's beyond our shell
Our brains are burnt
And fucked only by conceit
How can I break this
Intangible, ethereal fortress?
I'll get over it

[Chorus]

I feel so far away
Ten thousand miles away
From all these abstractions

Step aside for the war
Let the power arise from the words

Screaming
My whole body is
Screaming
Lashing down at me
Thrusting
The borders of shame
Thrusting
The unsubstantial demon

[Chorus]

I feel so far away
Ten thousand miles away
From all these abstractions

Don't pretend you're not lost
Don't pretend you're not the one who's scared

5. Nihil

6. Blood Relation

[feat. Björn Strid / Soilwork]

Can't you see it rising?
A devouring power is spreading
From nil, it's growing in me
My brain is about to burst
A prisoner of shame finally unleashed
There is nothing more to fear as I dare to face the world
There is nothing more to dream of
And then you came from above

Dragged by this pure kind of energy
Disconnected from emptiness
Founding the basis, creating the rules
I can't refrain my mind

Faceless
The control has just begun (The control has just begun)
Breathless
A gateway to the reign of creation (The reign of creation)

[Chorus:]
Another wave, another havoc
Another being taking shape in blood relation
Another threat, another downfall
Constantly veiled by delusions

Constantly driven by frustration
The convergence of emotions
Is now about to explode
An insatiable thirst of self fulfillment
Is burning me alive
Only too aware of this desire
Gorging in my veins
I spit on your convictions

Faceless
The pain is raping my soul (The pain is raping my soul)
Breathless
The path that leads beyond domination (Beyond domination)

[Chorus]

Wasted, so where am I now?
My body's choking on its own heart
Enslaved, but what have I done?
A scathing setback but there is no one to blame but me

Another wave, another havoc
Another threat, another downfall

[Chorus]

Wasted, so where am I now? (So where am I now?)
My body's choking on its own heart
Enslaved, but what have I done? (But what have I done?)
A scathing setback but there is no one to blame but me

7. The Chrysalis

The confrontation
Is haunting me inside
I can't help but feel
Devastating pulses
Burning, rising
Like a painful transcendence
Animated by
The purest form of elation

I am not what I always hoped to be
I am not
But it still's a matter of will

[Chorus:]
Now I can't live no more
Oh I feel like a diaphanous ghost
I can't bear that the world is
The same as always
Now I can't breathe no more
No, I can't take it all in
Having in mind that you're
The same as always

Stuck inside
An organic cell
It's the panacea
Of all the harms I endured
I can feel the flow
Spreading, spreading, spreading again
Inside my veins (inside)
The soothing bite of destiny

I'm seen as a powerless soul
But the
Spasms have hardened their wrath

[Chorus]

Wait for the burn of conflict
Wait, too weak to survive
You're floating in this world
But you're too hollow to exist

Can't you feel the way? It's growing up
Can't you see the men being inflamed?
Don't you fear their strength?
The power reigns when the reason dies

[Chorus]

8. Troubled Days

A face to face is taking place
A fracture buried inside me
And I don't drown my sorrows
To make it last longer than the others
Vertigo takes hold of me
When I stare at the abyss
That lies between me and your
Silly dreams, your oversized illusions

Let it go away, I'll let it go away then

[Chorus:]
Stand in these troubled days
No matter what you are expecting of me
I swear to remain uncontrolled
And that I will stay away from the claws of despair

A face to face beneath the ground
It's me, myself and I in distress
And I don't get this stubbornness
The way you see your self-accomplishment
Why would I follow the rules?
Why would I come into shape?
To die with you and your dreams?
I swore myself to never get carried away

Let it go away, I'll let it go away then

[Chorus]

Don't blame your anger
Now I can hear the voice, the words I said before
Let it go away, let it go away
Don't blame your anger
Now I can save them all from what I used to be

Let it go away, let it go away
Don't blame your anger
No I can save them all from what I used to be

[Chorus]

9. Drawing Hope

10. Legacy

I can't think about anything else
The way it's sneaking under the skin
I can't bear to see those eyes being drained
From the warmth that used to watch over me

But you still have the right to claim
A place in this world

[Chorus:]
Keep fighting, stay strong
Don't give up on your pretensions
Still struggling so hard
Don't give a fuck about their condescension

I feel so fucking powerless
A shudder runs through my blood as I fall
As I fall, not even able to endure
This burden just as you are doing

[Chorus]

Have you ever felt this before?
Your body's weak but your mind's so tough
From the depths of pain, you're drawing hope
I thought lost for ever
Have you ever seen this before?
You feel so down but you won't bow out
Another day in here, it's been so rough
But one more day, full of promises

So close and so far
The cycle repeats again
No matter how it ends
Your legacy will live on

[Chorus]

Keep fighting
Still struggling
Don't give a fuck about their condescension

Have you ever seen this before?
Your body's weak but your mind's so tough
From the depths of pain, you're drawing hope
I thought lost

11. Like Vultures

Torn by the riddle of all the inconsistencies
I can't help but wonder why we all run
So fast, to such a disaster
Not able to interpret the signs all around
Or is it something else?

[Chorus:]
Like vultures on a corpse
Forever attracted by rot
We lead the exile
Only torment reigns in this land
Our bliss is being preyed
Preyed upon by our own decisions
This is our curse
Hear wisdom crying

Trapped and ashamed, you should have paid attention
To all these warnings that you chose to ignore
Back to the surface, your fate has been sacrificed
You're ready to wallow in misery

[Chorus]

Carried away by corroding tears
Trying to breathe the fear
That was once smothering you
Drifting inside your forsaken soul
Fighting to regain the dignity
That once suited you so well

Fight for life

[Chorus]

This is our curse (this is our curse)
Hear wisdom crying

12. The Edge Of Time

Stay calm, the wire strangles me
Tangled in a mess I’ll never clean
But now you will accept it
‘Cause of everything we’ve been through we
Sail from storms
Always looking for a quiet place close to heaven
Sail from storms
To the shore pulling the same rope that broke off the edge

Step back, remain alone
A worried spirit rises and spoils it all
Laid down, we are all screwed up
‘Cause of everything mistaken we've
Sailed to far
We cannot give our strength anymore
Sailed to far
But I’m sure that one day we will reunite

[Chorus:]
Haven for a maniac soul
We embrace the one path to follow
Tightrope walkers living to drop our own lives
The edge of time
Haven for a maniac soul
We embrace the one path to follow
But now we are all facing the truth, your own lies
The edge of time

Slow down
I can’t bear this inner voice
I want to be fooled
Needless to say, another day has passed away
Another day has passed, another day has passed
And in my head, this ceaseless and vain roundabout

[Chorus]
