LyricMeaning

Lay the Ghost to Rest
Insomnium

Frequented by displeasing memories
Haunted by the creatures, born of night
Sunk deep in the dejection and distress
Weak and powerless to severe the ties

Bound in the dream world
Wide-awake for every hour of sleep
Faltering towards the future
Only to come across with the past

No hope beacons here
No rays of light lingers
Underneath the black Earth
Where the forgotten wait

No love resides here
No solace can be found
Underneath the cold soil
Where the sleeping Gods lie, sleeping Gods

There is nothing to remember,
when you are lost
There is nothing to strive for,
when you are gone

Now rest for you are tired, let it go
Dive into sleepless dream, embrace oblivion
The moments of light between the darkness
Are brief and flee fast in the house of dead

Bound in the dream world
Wide-awake for every hour of sleep

No hope beacons here
No rays of light lingers
Underneath the black Earth
Where the forgotten wait

No love resides here
No solace can be found
Underneath the cold soil
Where the sleeping Gods lie

There is nothing to remember,
when you are lost
There is nothing to strive for,
when you are gone

Searching my way out of confusion
In this cold night, cold as my heart
Trying to find a resolution
Assurance and strength to just go on

I'm the thousand winds that blow
In the circling flight of the blackbird
In the stars that shine at night
In the last dying rays of light

Be gone sorrow, leave your dead behind
Stay away grief, lay the ghost to rest

Be gone sorrow, leave your dead behind
Stay away grief, lay the ghost to rest

Lyrics by Insomnium

  Against the Stream   Bereavment   Beyond the Horizon   Decoherence   Down With the Sun   Equivalence   Every Hour Wounds   Into the Evernight   Nocturne   Numen Divinum   Only One Who Waits   Regain the Fire   Resonance   Song of the Blackest Bird   The Gale   The New Beginning   Through the Shadows   Unmourned   Unsung   Vicious Circle Complete   Weighed Down With Sorrow   Where the Last Wave Broke
