Insomnium - Against The Stream lyrics

And down we go again... Into the ocean of sorrow Towards to sea of despair In the deep groves of the earth Lifeline running in roaring stream "Like sand slipping through my fingers Nothing ever lasts, ever will" "To impart elegance all living Experience the grandeur in giving Felicity found in commitment Tranquillity in mere being" And down we go again Under the relentless waves Into the arms of calm breakers Into bayou of forgotten dreams Like sand slipping through my fingers Nothing ever lasts, ever will "To impart elegance all living Experience the grandeur in giving From existence into oblivion Not in cycles but in lines" Getting nowhere fast By contending with time Accept the alteration Come to terms with your days Down we go just the same Into the ocean of sorrow Towards to sea of despair This river runs relentlessly And this river runs deep Not in cycles but in lines
