Monochromatic Stains Lyrics
There is the face in the still water
I can't ever remember wearing
Like fingerprints on your heart
To the untrained eye, a secret
I bled away the last of you
Sought trust in shapes of combined results
that trickles from a less than solid case
Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust
Burning the gracing grounds
Chorus
<i>What will give in first
The body or the lash
Monochromatic Stains
The lead or the fake
Monochromatic Stains</i>
This piles of ashes of a soul
informant pokes abound
These sickly little fingers
Get away from me
Tread not the path of least restraint
each piece of evidence a lie, a lie
The body, the face, all items in place
I don't remember a thing
<i>What will give in first
The body or the lash
Monochromatic Stains
The lead or the fake
Monochromatic Stains</i>
A sacrifice made to the loss of a mind
Folly a man's demise
Track now the stains that allow my fall
sickening, the sight of it all
Never shall I claim my innocence
I was just not there
<i>What will give in first
The body or the lash
Monochromatic Stains
The lead or the fake
Monochromatic Stains</i>

Here are Mikael's own words about the lyrics:
Here it is...my own little stab in the dark at the mystery genre and the repercussions of voluntary and self-inflicted unconsciousness. Some aspects of this will be further investigated in the upcoming video, some will be further obscured...Enjoy!
I've seen part of the video already and it didn't make a lot of sense to me. yet I'll wait till I see the whole thing before I reate or judge it.
the video is really bad, it doesnt suit the song very well i think at all
anyone, enough about teh video, this song is the most powerful piece of shit ive ever heard!!!!!
uhh...
In the video he kills his wife, if I remember cororetly. Monochromatic means 1 color or appearing to be one color, for exmaple... your blue jeans. He is refering to the blood.
"A sacrifice made to the loss of a mind"
He lost his mind and killed whoever it was that he killed.

i thought monochromatic meant light. well then again light is color, so maybe you are right.
Monochromatic I thought was black and white.
This song reads like a crime scene investigation. It's really cool IMO.
The way he says "Monochromatic Stains" at the end of the 2nd chorus and the music in the background... man that's like the best musical moment ever.
