Hours Passed In Exile Lyrics

Artist: Dark Tranquillity
Album: Damage Done

What if some things are destined to failure?
What if some things are never meant to be?
What if someone never sees?
What if someone never opens?
What if somehow we are different?

Though I never claimed to be right
Give to me the benefit of doubt

I brought you fires
That you put out
I brought you fires
For I cannot be without
I came with sadness
But this my shattered heart can't bear

What of the times in exile?
What of the hours passed?
What if touches seem too trivial?

You can never tell me I'm wrong
A song I've heard so long

I brought you fires
That you put out
I brought you fires
For I cannot be without
I came with sadness
But this my shattered heart can't bear

I came in madness
So this my shattered heart can't bear
My shattered heart won't bear

So what if healing takes forever?
So what if time is meant for others?
So what is left is but a shatter
And what is broken can't be whole
What is broken can't be whole again

I brought you fires
That you put out
I brought you fires
For I cannot be without
I came with sadness
But this my shattered heart can't bear

I brought you fires
That you put out

I hear instead:
I brought you fires
Why did you burn out?

It is the best song a haver ever hear

I think it's definitely "I brought you fires that you put out", but the vocalist Mikael Stanne likes to add a little bit of a growl right before "that you put out", which is why it might sound like he's saying "why".

Most definitely Stanne says fires that YOU put out, it is in line with most of his abstract lyrics dealing with loss...

he makes them more obscure on purpose. that makes me laff. uncontrollably.

but its definitely fires that you put out.

I like both, In Flames and DT. Though IFs recent stuff isn't so great they seem to be getting better again. I just hope they reach their past level again (i.e. The Jester Race and Whoracle).

yall are stupid.

inflames and both had each oher's vocalist back in he beginning.

so long story sort they are were once the same. and they are equal even now... well except for inflame's new album "A Sense of Purpose". that ones crap compared to everything else.

JDverdolaga i can`t believe u said that about In Flames. Scratch that, you DIN NOT say that. Cause if you did you are a complete moron without any chance to recover from it.

by levi on 3/3/2010 8:41am
umm bro?? this band is btter than infames by many standards

by Squelthas on 5/7/2010 3:05pm
Mikael says "I brought you fires, whoa-that you put out-ah" xD

by XdanishXcowboyX on 3/24/2011 3:03pm
in my opinion, they both used to be awesome, but suck now. i hate when bands do this.

Amazing song. I adore listening to it while travelling by ship during seastorm or flying by plane inside thunder-clouds. Stop fighting about DT Vs. In Flames. Both bands have their unique represantation and their common aspects as well. Don't forget the best. MetaL RuLeZ. This is a reason for all metalheads to be united. Hail from Finland!!!
