Vanishing Light
In Flames · In Flames [2007]
The end of a compromise
In fury, in rage
A dream will demenish
Behind enemy lines
Learn to survive
Find a way to clone
Make friends and place a to call home
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
You're on the easy route
Money up front?
There's no doubt
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
It's so sad
But pay no mind!
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Slide away
Learn your ways and fire when ready
This is a race
To no mans land
But who knows the direction?
