Insomnium - The Offering Lyrics






On through the burning night
The fever and the fear
Against the gates of death
I pound, I wail, I cry

With broken voice and heart
I demand a bargaining
I offer all I have
This blackened soul of mine

That once was pure, unspoilt
That once was fair

Hear me now
Open up your hinges
Let me enter
Receive my soul

Let me lapse into the dusk
Into soothing shadows
Gladly I will step down
Redeem the one I love

On through the scalding nights
The anguish and despair
Against the gates of death
I claw, I wilt, I starve

It would be just and fair
To let this old man fade away
Accept this sacrifice
This doomed soul of mine

It would only be right
To take this soul
My offering
It would only be fair
To let my dearest live
Still walk this earth

    The Offering

    On through the burning night
    The fever and the fear
    Against the gates of death
    I pound, I wail, I cry

    With broken voice and heart
    I demand a bargaining
    I offer all I have
    This blackened soul of mine

    That once was pure, unspoilt
    That once was fair

    Hear me now
    Open up your hinges
    Let me enter
    Receive my soul

    Let me lapse into the dusk
    Into soothing shadows
    Gladly I will step down
    Redeem the one I love

    On through the scalding nights
    The anguish and despair
    Against the gates of death
    I claw, I wilt, I starve

    It would be just and fair
    To let this old man fade away
    Accept this sacrifice
    This doomed soul of mine

    It would only be right
    To take this soul
    My offering
    It would only be fair
    To let my dearest live
    Still walk this earth

    I feel this whole album has AtWW vibes.

  26. A.... F....

    It's funny how for each track, there are comments saying "This is the best track on the record". Let's just go ahead and conclude this album is flawless.

    A.... F....

    Right! I noticed this aswell :P

    A.... F....

    @Edwin Garcia Tbh, its hard to beat Across, also for me, SOTDS will always be my favourite. However, this album they've put out imo is incredible.

    A.... F....

    @Rory McNeill I agree, Shadows of the Dying Sun is their best overall effort from start to finish.

    A.... F....

    Apart from the bell song👌👌👍👍

    A.... F....

    What insomnium album isn't?

  27. A.... T....

    Best of the lot.
