Lunar Strain
In Flames Lyrics

For there is a purpose and reason
There is a deep and meaningful purpose behind the universe that is beyond human understanding

Beyond all human apprehension
This purpose is so complex and intricate that humans cannot comprehend it

The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
The vast emptiness of space is overwhelming and terrifying in its silence

For there is a knowledge more complex
There is a knowledge that is greater than the understanding of life on Earth

Than life on this planet
This knowledge is beyond what we experience in our daily lives

A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars
This knowledge is based on the movements and patterns of the stars in the universe

All across the milky way
The defeat of life is happening throughout the entire galaxy

Life suffers defeat
Life is facing struggles and hardships that it cannot overcome

Life that once was treasured
Life used to be valued and cherished, but now it is being destroyed

What once was nothing
Things that did not exist before are now taking shape in the universe

Has blossomed into form
The universe is constantly evolving and creating new forms of life

Once it was I that was nothing
The artist feels insignificant and small compared to the vastness of the universe

But now they say I will die
The singer's existence is temporary and will eventually come to an end

All across the galaxy
The struggles of life are not limited to one particular area of the universe

From nothingness to reality
The universe has gone from a state of nothingness to one of existence

As we see it
The universe only exists in the context of how humans perceive it

From nothingness to life
Life has emerged from a universe that was once devoid of it

My dismal tears of anguish
The singer is deeply distressed by the state of the universe and his place in it

Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven
The singer's sadness is intertwined with the beauty of the universe

Loneliness is pain
Feeling alone in the vast universe is a painful experience for the artist

Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain
The emptiness of space is a source of strength for the universe, but a source of pain for the artist

Serenity is might
The calmness and beauty of the universe is a display of great power and strength

Yet we shall be honored
Despite the struggles, life in the universe is something to be valued and celebrated

In the star forsaken night
Even when it seems like the stars have abandoned the universe, there is still reason to hope

Astral strain
The struggles of life across the universe are causing tension and discord

All around my silent moon
Even on the singer's own moon, life is facing defeat and destruction

For there is a purpose and reason
The purpose and meaning behind the universe is a constant source of inspiration and awe

Beyond all human apprehension
Despite our limitations, the universe continues to exist and thrive
