Insomnium - The Day It All Came Down lyrics

From now on there's an absence of smile

Foul voices welcome me to loneliness
Graceful tunes on her lips have now ceased
This winter's here to surpass all the hopes
And dreams succumb to nightmares
And freezing air now lonely is my road
Path paved with bitter thoughts
Conception of beauty excluded from this heart
Within closed doors no one speaks
Behind barred windows no soul lives
As I walk the soil beneath
My feet is crumbling

She was my sun and now
The light has faded away
Night condensing around me, leading astray
Shining image torn down
Remembrance of her fades
Left but anguish and shame to
Haunt me in the shades

Should I be content with the memory
Of the life I had?
Or is the hell knowing what
We could have become?
Quite indifferent as the tides of
Time have now turned
And the past is buried in
A drift of whirling snow
White sheet covering all things left behind

And from now on there's an absence of hope

She was my sun and now
The light has faded away
Night condensing around me, leading astray
Shining image torn down
Remembrance of her fades
Left but anguish and shame to
Haunt me in the shades

So be it, perdition is my home
Since the day it all came down
