Lyrics Valediction - Insomnium

Underneath the blackest soil
I lay down my warm beating heart
And deep beneath the frozen ground
I bury down my deepest thoughts

Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away (passed away)

Tonight
The world is burning
(Tonight)
Black smoke hides the sky
Tonight
Dark clouds rising up, soaring
Shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
(Engulf the land)

By the side, a forsaken path
I leave behind my old shadow
Into the deep, under these shores
I throw my broken memories

Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
And though the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away (passed away)

'Cause tonight
The world is burning
(Tonight)
Black smoke hides the sky
Tonight
Dark clouds rising up, soaring
Shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land

For something to change (for something to change)
Something has to give
For something to grow (for something to grow)
Something has to give
I kiss the light goodbye

'Cause tonight
The world is burning
(Tonight)
Black smoke hides the sky
Tonight
Dark clouds rising up, soaring
Shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
