Interpret:

Dark Tranquillity

Album:

The Mind's

Drenched in the perfume of hell
Impasto of burning oils
forming continents on my
outstretched naked body,
erupting


crimson
stains of shame
stains of shame


Limbs that leave their Nests of
Red
to spin the reels of pain
Attach the nails and electrodes


and spin the reels again


Retreating hunger running through
the years
carries the scorn on skeleton wings


Storm me thou with the sharpened
claw
swift hammer nails that pierce
the shoulder of time
Behind the sunset, with movement
regained


For there lie shadows even farther
from the light


I run, devoid of motion,
devoid of name
attach the nails and electrodes
black moratorium, haven of refuge
…
