Sweetest Heart
Above & Beyond Lyrics

The nails blood trail as another falls from scriptures call.
And even beasts bow in defeat at the summons of the fall.
This feeling crushes reason like the dark insight.
While the sun to scared to rise is burning from inside.

Alive, the dark insight. Nothing cannot die.
This time you forced it open, to see ruined our ancient muses.
Nothing can be as sacred as the fight.
For your life in this night vampiric spirits shift in sight.
A darkened gloom pulls down the room but the moon it seems so fucking bright. In my mind the light it binds my sight to visions of forgotten rites.
Where in there was something no one could deny that the flames would burn my soul.
Time takes it's toll, death unfolds.
As a right, as the the light limits that in plain sight.
The coming cold forever yearning to be told amongst the desperate masses cries.
Their gutted lullabies. their meaning has but died.

Now it's dampened the hue you can't see through. When worshipped in two the
daemon's die to. Though the pieces seems alike.
Never enough, never to rough the thrust of the blood, the cut of the touch.
Trapped in dark and sacred pleasures yet nurtured at birth and born of the
Earth.

Wait, I know this pain isn't OK. It reeks of decay but deep in the dirt the
fire still burns.

Bled dreams lost and obscene. Visions of lust and hatred. No one screams
nothing can be when hope and light are wasted. Grow untold a flower of poisoned




laughter knowing not where to find her I succumb to the one feeling burning
inside.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Above & Beyond's song "Sweetest Heart" are filled with vivid and dark imagery, painting a picture of pain, decay, and desperation. The first stanza speaks of a blood trail and beasts bowing in defeat as they succumb to the summons of the fall. The feeling of defeat is so overwhelming that it crushes reason and insight, leaving the singer in darkness that is burning from within. The dark insight is alive and all-encompassing, as the singer is forced to face the reality of ruined ancient muses and the necessity of fighting for one's life against vampiric spirits. The moon in the sky seems bright, but it is still shrouded in darkness and forgotten rites.


The second stanza speaks of a hue that has been dampened, and the inability to see beyond the darkness when the daemon's die. The pieces may seem alike, but they are never enough to quell the thirst for blood and touch. The singer is trapped in dark and sacred pleasures that are nurtured from birth, yet they still feel the pain of decay and the deep-rooted fire that burns within. The dreams are bleeding and lost, filled with visions of lust and hatred, and there is no hope to be found in the wasted light. The flower of poisoned laughter grows untold, and the singer succumbs to the one feeling burning inside, one that is powerful and consuming.


Overall, "Sweetest Heart" is a haunting and powerful song that captures the desperation and pain of those who are trapped in darkness. The lyrics speak of a fight for survival and the struggle to find light in a world that is shrouded in darkness. The imagery is stark and vivid, painting a picture of a world that is both beautiful and terrifying, where hope is just out of reach and the flames of the soul are destined to burn out.
