As The Pages Burn – Arch Enemy

As the pages burn
Secrets can’t be unlearned
Silence can’t be unheard
Knowledge is burden
Power is onus
As the pages burn
Your memories fade
Freed from the grip of reality
Rejecting cognition
As the pages turn
Sinking in a pool of ether
The past is washed clean

Rip apart the world
Word by word, inch by inch
Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience

Sweet amnesia
Here to free you
As the pages burn
All your trials
Solved by fire
As the pages burn

As the smoke fills the room
Soon to pass, heavy gloom
The wind will whisk away the past
A blank page stares at you
Nothing left
Where to start?
A second chance carries expectation
The books you’d written no longer exist
The future is in your pen
Ink to paper, now begin

Rip apart the world
Word by word, inch by inch
Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience

Sweet amnesia
Here to free you
As the pages burn
All your trials
Solved by fire
As the pages burn

Rewriting history
Starting now
Erase the misery
Let the flames
Eat your doubts

Sweet amnesia
Here to free you
As the pages burn
All your trials
Solved by fire
As the pages burn
