Land of obscurity
Lyrics & Music: Per Malmberg
Restrained emotions dying to break out
Been oppressing my true self so long
Cold sweat on my feverish brow
Every time the whistle blows the song
Caught in this plight with nowhere to turn
Tranquility changing to war
War changing to a deafening silence
Only to change back once more
Give me strength to lift up my soul
To escape the place where I've been
Give me the power to stir up the clouds
To save what is left here, within
Screaming despair fills my tormented heart
As I fall back to habits of old
Clinging to what is familiar and safe
To an existence so frighteningly cold
Scenes from the past keep on haunting my mind
From days when the future looked bright
When problems were something so easily solved
When every day promised delight
Where did I go wrong and when did it become
too late to just turn back and leave?
I fight the memories of days of the past
Turn cheek number two to receive
I pray for the strength to fight my way out
and reclaim the manhood I've lost
I pray for the power to reach for the light
To break out, whatever the cost
Screaming despair fills my tormented heart
As I fall back to habits of old
Clinging to what is familiar and safe
To an existence so frighteningly cold
Maybe some day I will find what I seek
Maybe some day I'll be free
Until that day I'm afraid I'm too weak
Too frightened to be only me
Cold sweat on my feverish brow
Every time the whistle blows the song
