Pain of Salvation

Pain of Salvation is a Swedish progressive rock band headed by Daniel Gildenlöw; the band's lyricist, chief composer, guitarist, and lead vocalist. Their sound is characterised by powerful, accentuated guitar work, broad vocal range, abrupt switching between heavy and calm passages, intense syncopation, and polyrhythmic experimentation. Another trademark of the band is that each album is a concept album. Some of the topics addressed in the band's albums include sexuality, war and its effect on family and humanity, environmental issues (such as nuclear power), the forming of the individual, and the nature of God, humankind, and existence. more »

See me
Hear me
Need me 
Some things will never change 
Touch me
Heal me
Mankind remains the same 

Oceans 
Forests 
Nations 
Now everything bears our name 
While earth is bleeding 
Nothing will remain 
Nothing prevails 

We were stuck in this world of change 
Expecting it to remain 
Now nothing is left unstained 

No! 

When there's nothing more that we can trade 
Own 
Steal 
Or sell 

When there's nothing whole because we took it apart 
And 
Just left 
Moved on 

When there's nothing left for us to break 
Use 
Abuse 
Or rape 

Then you're free to count how much you saved 

I can see the ways we fail 
I can see us fall so easily 
A structure far too frail 
I can see 40,000 years of knowledge and history 
Invested in this child 
Spoiled and stained by proud divinity 
Gaining at best the perspective and wisdom 
Of not even a fleeting century 

We have now reached the final ten thousandth of a second 
Of our evolutionary year, as we hit 2,000 at a birth rate 
Of 250 people a minute 

Tell me 
How are we supposed to survive? 
If we're acting like fools 
All dropping dead to stay alive? 
Someone tell me 
Please just show me 
If there's nothing to do, god we'll turn to you 
But if we're an image of you 
I reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too 

You think we have developed fast; that we're civilized and intelligent 
I'll let you in on a secret: we have developed things! 
The rest is simply knowledge passed on 
(I can see us drain this world 
I can see us buying loss too cheap 
Terra sterilia washing its bronken hand of us now 
Creation's blackest sheep! ) 
Hell, 99% of humanity couldn't put together a simple light bulb if you put a gun to their heads! 
And the intellect rubs off on fear 

The year 2,010 ad: 6,823 million people 
2,020 ad: 7,518 million people 
2,030 ad: 8,140 million people 
2,040 ad: 8,668 million people 
2,050 ad: 9,104 million people 

I can see us read the signs 
But spell them out in backward travesty 
I see us close our eyes 
To all the wounds that we inflict to this world by being "free" 
We love this world to death 
Purchasing our lifestyles with our lives 
Defending our momentarily nations 
With the loss of our priceless earthly home 

It's not hard to reach the top 
It's not hard not knowing when to stop 
It's not hard to take all 
Not very difficult to fly if you settle for a fall 
It's not hard to cross a line 
It's not hard to push and go to far 
Some creatures cannot climb 
Then there are us who cannot even learn how to stay alive 

I'm sorry! 
For the things we did and did not do 
Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a clue 
I am sorry 
Please forgive us 
For this human lack of humanity 
This evolutionary travesty 
This tragedy called "man" 
Called man

I'm sorry! 
For the things we did and didn't do 
Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a single clue 
...Without a single clue. ..
