Mikael Stanne “Again Something That Came Out Of Frustration. Niklas Sundin Guitar Had These Riffs That Didn’t Fit Anywhere And He Put Together This Unusual Song He Wasn’t Sure About But As Soon As We Heard It We Convinced Him It Was Going To Be Awesome. It Paid Off It’s One Of My Favourites.” Lyrics I Feel The Silence Come In Rooms I Now Detest The Chill Of The Touch In Infinite Night I Thought I Had It One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take I Held It As My Own And Took For Granted What I Knew Come Inside To What The Darkness Pushed Away Set Out To Find Me The Cold Of The Thought In Infinite Touch The Switch Gets Thrown One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take What Are We Missing Here? What Have We Been Told? We Must Be The Shield And Not The Sword Be The Shield Not The Sword One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take One Life One Fear Too Much To Handle Too Much To Take.
