Dark Tranquillity - Midway Through Infinity
Wings of fire burn the night
Slumbering eyes their flares shall greet
Let the past cling on its futile self
And may the present rush for the future's glare
[Chorus]
Grave to cradle
Cradle to grave
So infinity clash
Grave to cradle
Cradle to grave
In twofold matter
Two forces gone full circle
Never shall one of the other grow fond
Join me, the time is upon us
He spoke and in fury we flew
Far beyond the limits of time
Disown the borders of life itself
Crafted and moulded all in one form
Split up and scattered in the world that we own
Grow towards me
Beknight the strength of the symbiosis
Backwards striving
Counterparts with different eyes have observed
Of time unconditional
[Chorus]
Tell of days to come
Tomorrow remembered
Your yesterday, my future
Recollection of the day
Delusions cast where dead trees sway
The sabre that separates
Is the candle that burns both ends
Born from death you now confront me
Back to death with my life I take you
Die more with each movement of mine

In Flames - Jotun
I often dream of huge numb buildings
Jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
That few would take notice
And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
Imagining it's weight, it's silence
The absence of excuses for a havoced life
And the priviledge of a 22-kilometer tombstone
Jotun
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying it's own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation
There would be colonies
Mushroom-scattered, forever out of context
Rising spores from a dying world
To pollute to chase away what's left
Sun-white pulverised desert stone
And serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids
Rewriting 4500 years of history
Raping the statue of liberty
Outplays the acropolis
Inverting the fjords
Invade the New York skyline to
Dream it's own existence in one single final word
Jotun
A body of black
That carried no reflection
Defying it's own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation
Can we identify them
As the flint buried in our reptile skulls
Or the time-bomb coded in our DNA
