Come on downstairs to the streets you paved
with your lilly pad lies and sack lunch parade
plan out the truths that you spout and you chew
and fan out your troops like a motorcade
I know why your hair is down this morning its a coming of age
you sympathize with your unfettered eyes
but you don't see how I paid to play
The pain in my hands is from charting the plans
and the dust on my coat is from dynamite
the blood on my sleeve and the mud on my knees
they are badges from the blind men that leave the blind
And your face is a meal made of bombast and steel
and your teeth are like gold when you salivate
your hands and your feet are so worn out and week
but your eyes are enabled with razor blades
The pain in my hands is from charting the plans
and the dust on my coat is from dynamite
the blood on my sleeve and the mud on my knees
they are badges from the blind men that leave the blind
Da da da da da da da da da....

In Flames is a journey that you never really finish. It stays with you everywhere you go, walks by your side, gives you a presence to count on but also a ghost to fear. It awaits you at every corners to make sure you don't forget it. Beyr
