The Bow and the Arrow - Dark Tranquillity

Written by：Mikael Stanne

The print you left

Up here just witnessed

To the forcefull push

In which you thrust yourself

Out from this world

Your own very being

Launched away from this temporary hold

You are never gone

The letters of your name

A scar that never heals

So be the bow and the arrow

Be the rope and the endless scream

This time there is a way

To the end that craves

When indifferent winds lead me

To the lands of uncertainty

To hold what can't be held

Against the coming dark

In the march of the hollow

Hollowed out

Your words are not so true

You are never gone

The letters of your name

A scar that never heals

You are never gone

For you I'll always know

Behold you without heart

They're lost to tremors

To the pages of words

Your voice unheard

From the empty void

Witness the feelings

Your body to lose in the darkness

Brief as a razor

Within it's walls of skin

To the end and forever

To the end

You are never gone

The letters of your name

A scar that never heals

So be the bow and the arrow

Be the rope and the endless screams

You are never gone

When indiferent winds lead me

To lands of uncertainty

You are never gone
