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
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
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

Insomnium The Offering Comments
This song really gave me an Ace Combat vibe with the main riff. Awesome stuff.
That outro, what a masterpiece, hits you right in the feels. From @4:00
Semplicemente meravigliosa.Ti entra dentro sembra conoscerti .Canzone dell'anno album dell'anno.!!!!!!
Been so enamoured of Winters Gate for the past 2 years, haven't given this album its due yet. That's just changed.
Thank You Insomnium.
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

IF... you have metal soul they travel you free and gerante!!!
Thid could be a omnium gatherum song.Its a great song
Man, that melody sounds like Anethema's Untouchable! So awesome!
Thank you, I couldn't for the life of me remember where I heard the riff before.
Thanks insomnium....for songs like the offering.....
The melody of this song is perfect!
I want to charge at the raging battle and at the same time I want to build cabin in woods and watch things grow in my garden... I fucking love Insomnium.
Above the Weeping World vibes.
Agree man
I feel this whole album has AtWW vibes.
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.
Right! I noticed this aswell :P
@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.
@Rory McNeill I agree, Shadows of the Dying Sun is their best overall effort from start to finish.
Apart from the bell song👌👌👍👍
What insomnium album isn't?
Best of the lot.
3:00 riff.. Is this Anathema ?
Yeah the main melody sounds like Untouchable
@Sam Sneed I've come here only to find out why that song remind me something so much. Thanks for answer
Holy Shit that was my first Thought, cannot believe anyone else got that!
No, when you're listening it sounds a lot like INSOMNIUM !!!!!!
The first minute got me so fast ..
What great guitars and techniques you have guys..
I love the guitars ..I just love them..
This song was heavily influenced by "Untouchable, Part 1" by Anathema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av6sVWXeCWQ
The whole album is a masterpiece!
No, it's not.
Its so beautiful
Now that was a good fucking song
I like every song of this album
One of the very best track the album has to offer! 😌
