Oblivion Ocean - Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Pain of Salvation is a Swedish progressive metal rock band led by Daniel GildenlÃ¶w, who is the band's main songwriter, lyricist, guitarist, and vocalist. Pain of Salvation's sound is characterised by riff-oriented guitar work, a broad vocal range, oscillation between heavy and calm passages, syncopation, and polyrhythms. Thus far, every album released by the band has been a concept album. Lyrically, the band tends to address contemporary issues, such as sexuality, war, the environment, and the nature of God, humanity, and existence.

Sleep is too quiet Dreams are too painful Truth is the bed of this ocean of lies Sinking through layers of untouched oblivion Soaking from spirits But still far too dry Losing all barbed fences Lucid - no defenses "Where is my mother?" The child asked the soldier The soldier was watching them both fade away Nine words create an oblivion ocean: "Dad tell me, will I be dead very long?" Losing all I lived for Losing all I fought for Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand Oh god if you save them I'd take them west We'd start again in the promised land When life is wearing thin we pray The gods are close at hand when man is astray But when it all is said and done Is he to thank the gods for just taking his son? Sleep is too quiet Dreams are too painful Truth is the bed of this ocean of lies Words can create an oblivion ocean "Dad tell me, will I be dead very long?" Losing all I lived for Losing all I fought for Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand Oh god if you save them I'd take them west We'd start again then Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand Oh god if you save them I'd take them west We'd start again in the promised land
