LYRICS:
there are truths to conquer
there are fears to amplify
what is known in all we see
is but a dark mirage
what we see
what we feel
further behind the veil
What is broken
what is gained
never rein in the night

there are ways to wander
beyond the given path
there are dark encounters
Within the mind itself

our will to see
our will to be
our will to call the heavens
not an answer
it's not a sign
just an urge to wield the dark
there is a way
there is no time
a path that leads to nothing
there is a way
there is no time
our cruel perception

to all the words not spoken
are we dreaming hard enough

Mikael Stanne has been on a roll this year. Entire albums from Dark Tranquility and Cemetery Skyline plus working on The Halo Effect's sophomore. Mad respect to this man for giving us 2 amazing albums this year and another one to look forward to.

[jntdhome]

Melodic death at its finest! Love these guys!!

[Chet_Philodenge]

Seriously one of the best melodeath songs of any era. You can feel that magic from these guys.

[Ishavsdronning]

Put together old in flames and dark tranquility and you get this absolutely wonderful music!

[fifis]

It's gonna be an amazing album. I can't wait.

[Jugghead]

Old In flames vibes... I'm loving it

[geokard]

Wow... masterpiece.... Beloved Gothenburg.

[NiklasMX]

Fantastic song! Melodic Death Metal at its best 🤘🔥

[ioanairinei]

This song is the best my favorite song

[guitaristAustin]

This is my favorite band right now. Each song just pushes it further and further. Keep it up guys you are amazing.

[karlwilhelmge]

You guys outdid yourselves with this one. Goosebumps everywhere. This song feels like the sky is opening right in front of me. Can't wait to hear this live at a festival this year!

[pedrohenriquegalvao]

Great song from the masters of Gothenburg Sound!

[smarreh]

The feeling in that solo is absolutely insane, one of the best Ive ever heard. Brilliant song 🙌

[metalmaze]

The majestic Gothenburg!!! love from Bangladesh

[stcenturymetal]

Master piece for my ears. Man I can't express how good this sounds. Its like all the best song from the bands I like the most in this genre. Inflames, Hypocrisy, Scar Symmetry, Soilwork, At the gates, Dark Tranquility all rolled into one band. Impressive gothenburg sound.

[Artrocks]

Hell Yeah!!! Old In Flames vibe! Bad Ass!

[BjrnOlavLeraand]

Love this, it's good to hear the guys bringing back the good ol' days again. This is what IF should be, but cannot manage to do anymore

[roryasrorri]

So vibrant and yet so dark. It feels like falling in love again listening to this song.

[arjen]

I'm 36 and pretty late to the melodeath sound, always been a metalhead but just never heard it until a few years ago. Having a lot of catching up to do. I've been to a DT concert a few weeks ago, and have tickets for the Halo Effect in the Netherlands in 3 weeks. I'm addicted to the melodeath sound now.

[nathanlaird]

Ah, I like this so much more than the newer In Flames. The melodious guitar helps to balance the lack of melody in growling vocals vs just low chugging on the guitar.
