Plains of Dawn - 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.

"I'm here now, by your side" Sheltered from the cold A soldier guards a boy. Clocks are cutting as times pass by their pain (Bringing release through the book on his knees) Keep trying, keep trying, keep dying inside Hush now little child It's time to say goodnight Find rest in my lullaby this night (Blind figures controlling his life) Keep falling, keep falling, keep falling down now Have faith my son Reach for my hand and I'll walk with you 'till the sun goes down Follow me now We will meet again in your land Now I'll lead you home Opening stillness Reaching through illness they walk in the nightmist "Now we meet again I'm so close now" (Again we laugh) Where shallow waters reach For unknown mystic shores They gaze at the horizon and smile "Behold my son reach for the vision that fills your mind Just let go and run Follow the path that was meant for you Long ago (Behold my son) And cross the plains of dawn" Wordless questions Tearful confessions (They meet at last now) When it is time to go separate ways (Fading pages) They have touched through ages Remember me my son It's time to say goodbye Goodbye I'l free you from your prison Now go (Keep running) [Winning a war] You're free now (Keep running) [Made him lose] The wave meets the shore (Keep running home kid) [Evermore] "Farewell my son The tubes that were straining you To a death within life are gone Wait for us I and your mother will cherish you my son I cry as I'm watching you run across plains of dawn Plains of dawn" And so through that evening A soldier is leaving His son once again and A war has been lost... Forlorn he is reeling, Unmendably kneeling. But fate leaves no choice now He must close the book
