The Day It All Came Down Lyrics - Insomnium

From now on there's an abscence of smile 

Foul voices welcome me to loneliness 

Graceful tunes on her lips have now ceased 

This winter's here to surpass all the hopes 

And dreams succumb to nightmares and freezing air 

Now lonely is my road, path paved with bitter thoughts 

Conception of beauty excluded from this heart 

Within closed doors no-one speaks, behind barred windows no soul lives 

As I walk the soil beneath my feet is crumbling... 

She was my sun and now the light has faded away 

Night condensing around me, leading astray 

Shining image torn down, remembrance of her fades 

Left but anguish and shame to haunt me in the shades 

Should I be content with the memory of the life I had? 

Or is the Hell knowing what we could have become? 

- Quite indifferent as the tides of time have now turned 

And the past is buried in a drift of whirling snow 

...White sheet covering all things left behind... 

And from now on there's an abscence of hope... 

She was my sun and now the light has faded away 

Night condensing around me, leading astray 

Shining image torn down, remembrance of her fades 

Left but anguish and shame to haunt me in the shades 

So be it, perdition is my home, 

Since the day it all came down
