Текст песни In Flames - The Chosen Pessimist

Tell me which side I'm on,
Approaching constant failure.
Tell me which side I'm on,
(Who is friend or foe?)
Approaching constant failure.

Between love and hate,
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying...slowly.

In many ways I'm the burden,
That divides us from the light,
In many ways you're the halo,
That keeps my spirit alive.

Temptation, play the good or evil part,
With me, you evoke the dark...away.
Erase the free will, and watch me heal.

Tell me which side I'm on,
Approaching constant failure.

Between love and hate,
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying...

Bemused by trials and tribulations,
If I survive, I
Fly from here, but as the chosen pessimist.

(I carve!) Carve my name in stone.
(I carve!) Carve my name in stone.

Bemused by trials and tribulations,
If I survive, I
Fly from here, but as the chosen pessimist.
(How can I keep balance in this race?)
Come faith, I'm dying...

Скажи мне, на какой я стороне?
Всё ближе окончательный провал.
Скажи мне, на какой я стороне?
(Кто друг, кто враг?)
Всё ближе окончательный провал.

Меж ненавистью и любовью,
Какой путь выбрать?
Как удержать мне равновесие в этой гонке?
Если быть честным, я умираю… медленно.

Во многом я сам стал тем бременем,
Что отделяет нас от света.
Во многом ты – тот сияющий нимб,
Что не даёт моей душе истлеть.

Искушение, сыграй роль добра или зла,
Ты изгоняешь из меня тьму… прочь.
Сотри свободную волю и наблюдай, как я исцелюсь.

Скажи мне, на какой я стороне
Приближаюсь к окончательному провалу?

Меж ненавистью и любовью,
Какой путь выбрать?
Как удержать мне равновесие в этой гонке?
Если быть честным, я умираю… медленно.

Ошеломлённый испытаниями и горестями,
Если я выживу, я
Улечу отсюда, но в качестве избранного пессимиста.

(Я вырезаю!) Вырезаю своё имя на камне.
(Я вырезаю!) Вырезаю своё имя на камне.

Ошеломлённый испытаниями и горестями,
Если я выживу, я
Улечу отсюда, но в качестве избранного пессимиста.
(Как удержать мне равновесие в этой гонке?)
Если быть честным, я умираю

Tell me which side I'm on,
Approaching constant failure.
Tell me which side I'm on,
(Who is friend or foe?)
Approaching constant failure.

Between love and hate,
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying ... slowly.

In many ways I'm the burden,
That divides us from the light,
In many ways you're the halo,
That keeps my spirit alive.

Temptation, play the good or evil part,
With me, you evoke the dark ... away.
Erase the free will, and watch me heal.

Tell me which side I'm on,
Approaching constant failure.

Between love and hate,
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying ...

Bemused by trials and tribulations,
If I survive, I
Fly from here, but as the chosen pessimist.

(I carve!) Carve my name in stone.
(I carve!) Carve my name in stone.

Bemused by trials and tribulations,
If I survive, I
Fly from here, but as the chosen pessimist.
(How can I keep balance in this race?)
Come faith, I'm dying ...

Tell me , on what side I'm on ?
Closer final failure .
Tell me , on what side I'm on ?
( Who is a friend who is the enemy ?)
Closer final failure .

Between hate and love ,
Which path to choose?
How to keep my balance in this race ?
To be honest , I'm dying ... slowly .

In many ways, I became so burdened
What separates us from the world.
In many respects you - that radiant nimbus
What makes my soul istlet .

Temptation , play the role of good or evil ,
You dispossess me of darkness ... away.
Wipe free will , and see how I healed .

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching complete failure ?

Between hate and love ,
Which path to choose?
How to keep my balance in this race ?
To be honest , I'm dying ... slowly .

Stunned trials and sorrows ,
If I survive , I
Fly away from here, but as the chosen pessimist .

( I cut !) Carved his name in stone.
( I cut !) Carved his name in stone.

Stunned trials and sorrows ,
If I survive , I
Fly away from here, but as the chosen pessimist .
( How to keep my balance in this race ?)
To be honest , I'm dying
