"O Father, hear these words, your son is not made for this world.
Faint-hearted and careworn, into this vile life I was hurled.
In the woods the fiends sigh, I swear I heard the demons nigh.
On the seashore, I espy the dreadful void under the tides."
--"In the Groves of Death" by Insomnium. Lyrics quoted from "Tumma" by Finnish poet Eino Leino, translated into English.
Hearts of darkness and hate
O evil, oblivion your fate
O betrayers I come a war without end
My enemy's enemy is my friend
Mankind becomes the whore
Temples are empty - no law
False religions shall rise
Flags of scarlet shall fly
O destroyer of world
Babylon
--"Invocation" by Killing Joke
Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground,
collecting the tragedies still.
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
carried my cross to the hill.
And how I lust for the dance and the fire,
deep of the nectarine sunset to drink.
Spill me the wind and its fire
to steal of the colors - I'm the moonshield.
Shattered hope became my guide
and grief and pain my friends.
A brother pact in blood-ink penned
declared my silent end.
Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone,
reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone.
And how I lust for the dance and the fire,
deep of the nectarine sunset to drink.
Spill me the wind and its fire
to steal of the colors.
I'm the...I'm the...I'm the...
I'm the moonshield.
--"Moonshield" by In Flames.
