New Album: DARK TRANQUILLITY – Endtime Signals

Well, quite some time has passed since the release of the previous album, Moment. After the single Unforgivable was released, I was eagerly anticipating the entire album.

And now, here it is before us – Dark Tranquillity new album, Endtime Signals. Despite my deep love for their older albums, I really enjoy the continuation of Moment’s style with the added heaviness. As always, their distinctive style and darkness are paired with memorable melodies.

Once again, we have some of the best musicians, pouring their souls into this project. Despite the constant changes in the lineup, they always manage to surprise us and make us fall in love with their music forever. Further words are unnecessary… just listen and enjoy.

Shivers and Voids

Verse 1:
What we are
How we feel
Stuck inside our sensitivity
So we question
What we know
Understanding we are not alone
What is given
We will not take
Cannot betray what we can feel

Chorus:
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to suffer
Our shivers and voids

Verse 2:
For every night
We think we’ve mastered
There is a deeper insecurity
Inside our forces
Unending trials
We bend our backs to cope and endure
We must persist
Must power through
There is no end
Resist the storm

Chorus:
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to tremble
Made to fear

Bridge:
Blind to the ignorance
Blind to the noise
We must remain
Inoculated against it all

Chorus:
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to tremble
Made to fear

Outro:
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come now
What is latent in our mind forever
We’re made to suffer
Our shivers and voids

2. Unforgivable Lyrics

Verse 1:
Beyond all sense is this
The march goes ever on
Inside what’s left behind
The wasted years of scorn
No charge to save us now
The lingering will fall
The march goes ever on

Pre-Chorus:
We must be gone
By the coming of the dawn
There will be no one
Left to tell our story

Chorus:
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost

Verse 2:
The silent ways of those
Who scour the distant shore
To further widen the divide

Pre-Chorus:
We must be gone
By the coming of the dawn
There will be no one
Left to tell our story

Chorus:
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost

Bridge:
Not a single purpose given
No leniency
Not a single reason stated
No mercy shown

Pre-Chorus:
We will be gone
Before the daylight comes
There will be no one
Left to tell our story

Chorus:
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost

3. Neuronal Fire Lyrics

Verse 1:
What we fear that we will never see
Beyond the night sky
Would come to expose our own black heart
Our senses grasp what we don’t know
Yet our hold is never enough
What our thoughts begin to surface
What our dreams have given us to dare

Pre-Chorus:
Challenge this, our blind denial
For our minds are never enough
Challenge this, our blind denial

Chorus:
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze

Verse 2:
Now and forever cursed
To where we hope for revelation
To still our aching lives
Standing on the precipice
We get flashes of what will be our own demise

Pre-Chorus:
Challenge this, our blind denial
For our minds are never enough
Challenge this, our blind denial

Chorus:
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
With neuronal fire

Bridge:
In a shadow broken by
The light’s reflection
We held out hope for far too long
Here we are, in line to the next
Set of gathered aspirations
In a darkness interrupted
By neuronal fire

Chorus:
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want to know
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
Now and forever cursed

4. Not Nothing Lyrics

Intro:
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way
We’re equal to
The dust in our eyes
The mindless noise we are

Chorus:
We are not nothing
Yet why do we feel?
Fear to the power of infinity
We are not nothing
We serve our purpose here
We tell ourselves
What we need to hear
To make our mark
We are not nothing
It has got to be
The emptiness
We are here to resist
We are here to defy

Verse 1:
Still lost in time
So far beside ourselves
Our truth as ever
Is not a single path
To what is hollow
To what is now left
Will we see another way?

Verse 2:
Without our order
Our catalogue of time
Without our sense
We are meant to just survive

Chorus:
We are not nothing
We serve our purpose here
We tell ourselves
What we need to hear
To make our mark
We are not nothing
It has got to be
The emptiness
We are here to resist
We are here to defy

Outro:
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way

5. Drowned Out Voices Lyrics

Verse 1:
Imagination will find a way
Imagination will find a way
To subvert what we think we know
Through co-opted voices telling lies
How do we verify, how do we verify?
Altered ways to further opinion
As it spins out of our control
No chance for consent in opinion
When distrust is the goal

Chorus:
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?

Verse 2:
Imagination will find a way
Imagination will find a way
For unprovoked attacks on the tenets of trust
Foundation of community
How do we reconcile, how do we reconcile?
With baseless information
We are woefully unprepared
No chance for truth in words
When distrust is the goal

Chorus:
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?
Now

Bridge:
We are too easy to manipulate
Now the value of our words reside
In the space between us
We are too easy to manipulate
A simple mind for simple thoughts
The value of our words reside
Inside the space between us

Chorus:
Imagination will find a way
Another truth from within the lie
The first swell before another one hits
Can you hear it, can you hear it?
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?
Now

Outro:
We are too easy to manipulate
Now the value of our words reside
In the space between us

6. One of Us Is Gone Lyrics

Verse 1:
Our words can never do it
One of us is gone
No faith, no fear, no nothing
Just can’t believe it

Pre-Chorus:
Close now to the end
No epiphanies
We’d rather face indifference
Than any spark of hope
Remain where sanity holds you
Whatever happens, happens
Remain where sanity holds you close
Whatever happens

Chorus:
Words that drew a future
In every shade of grey
This quiet understanding
Is not enough
Stay in this forever
We’ll speak your name
As we move in memory
Trapped in time

Verse 2:
Closer to the end
Telling no more lies
In strength and understanding
We are alone
So face the greatest emptiness
As it falls around you
On every step of the way
To the ever, the ever opening night

Bridge:
These are the longest hours
Not knowing what time will grant us
These are the words that compose the dark
This is now where we are
And one of us is gone

Chorus:
Our words can never do it
One of us is gone
One of us is gone

7. The Last Imagination Lyrics

Verse 1:
Our failure to accept what ceases to be
To give up on the idea of self
We can fail to meet with our grand ideas
Can we grasp our removal from the plan
Here at childhood’s end, here at nothingness
Are we lost

Chorus:
This is the last page
Of the story no one else will ever read
The last imagination
One final set of truths
When every silent scream is written
To the night eternal
This is the last imagination
One final set of truths

Verse 2:
We refuse to be nothing worthy of measure
So lost as our time is short
Have we fled our past to embrace a now
That is over before it’s begun
Now this endless midnight, eternal dark
Is our own

Bridge:
When all that’s said and done is over
With the last page written
In the story no one else will ever
No one else will ever read

8. Enforced Perspective Lyrics

Verse 1:
Another unit of our measure
Beyond what we can see
Our days so far
Conform to this blind metric
We let the distance set the tone
For how it travels through our time

Chorus:
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective

Verse 2:
We hold in our hands
What once had seemed unreachable
Another turn around
To face illusion
We make our innermost design
Align to a vision we deny

Chorus:
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective

Bridge:
The power to destroy
What towers now before us
The ones that got away
Now hides within us all
That hides within us all

Bridge 2:
Retune the sight line to
Make sense of our delusion
Out of proportion
One reality fades
We grasp what we can never hold
In matters out of our control

Chorus:
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective

9. Our Disconnect Lyrics

Verse 1:
We shape a life without
Our choice will take us there
We sought the unexplored to weave a tale untold
A lasting peace within
The need to set it right below our will and force
A voice misleading

Chorus:
What is our want will make us doubt?
What is our need for things to end?
What is our want that will make us doubt?
Leave us with emptiness
This is a gift and our curse
Our mind desire
There is violence in our hearts unbroken
This is the day of our disconnect

Verse 2:
To go against, to go out of the way
To keep a mind on oneself
What is there to share
When our world is slowly breaking?
What is there to share
When our world is slowly breaking down?

Bridge:
What cannot be hindered
Cuts right, cuts right through us
What can never be altered
Yet changes everything
Changes everything

10. Wayward Eyes Lyrics

Verse 1:
Antithetical to our veracity
We never speak of this
A self-contained betrayal
A violence owned

Pre-Chorus:
Left out cold by our time
The oncoming oppression
Submit to the cruelest force
We’re dragged behind by our lies

Chorus:
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
This is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach

Verse 2:
Like distant stars, our light was cold
The inner darkness, expansive and profound

Bridge:
In infinite transparency
We enhance the intrigue
With insufficient sight
Our imagination takes us down

Chorus:
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
This is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach

Outro:
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
Yeah, this is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach

11. A Bleaker Sun Lyrics

Verse 1:
What we’ve set up for ourselves is a goal we will never reach
Another branch to climb too far, our resolve can never break
We measure loss not by its impact, but by severity and cost
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Chorus:
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Verse 2:
Each plan for our very own longevity and prosperous nature
Subverted long ago as we head for another failure
We don’t look up, we never forgive ourselves
We don’t look up, but for our own reflection
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Chorus:
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Bridge:
Another round amid the chaos of our inner turbulent ideas
Resisted for the longest time, now we dive into further dark
Never look in, could we ever come back again?
Never look in until the time is right
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Chorus:
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands

Outro:
A bleaker sun now sets

12. False Reflection Lyrics

Verse 1:
What little we know, know of each other
What part of our distance is real
Further from the core, core of our being
A borrowed perspective, a voice not our own

Chorus:
What we see is a darkened mirage
Through the prism we broke out from
One judgement feeds yet another
This fractured mind broken by our view of us

Verse 2:
What we crave for ourselves
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?

Bridge:
We’ve always been two, two seconds away
From misery or bliss, now you decide
We’d rather not see, see what is given
When we can take the pieces and build our own

Verse 3:
What stands before us are manmade monsters
Created by our own damn selves
We feign a deep understanding of something
Of something we can never be

Chorus:
What we crave for ourselves
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?

Outro:
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?
