The penultimate track of In Flames' 6th studio album is this hidden gem; a seemingly folk-influenced song, which is in many ways a departure from the Swedish heavy metal band’s usual sound. However, their hallmark philosophical depth, interest in exploring dark themes, and expert technical musicians...
[Verse 1]
You stole my pure intentions
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You taught me to be sad as you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
[Verse 2]
You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You made me feel like a sinner
You fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
[Chorus]
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
[Bridge]
I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
Desperate cry
[Chorus]
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I've come this far?
