You wait by the river
Days are long and melt right into nothing You wait for my eyes And who else is waiting for the summer sky Your still voice drives me further under now No tomb or blessing Buried in the poisoned ground Unbearable To have the beast untied The coming of my ruin Age tears the spine And the devil inside Comes back to escort me I burn This fever drives me Straight into your arms again Unspeakable Drop your withered pride Come back and forgive me Freezing in the blue light Hid my plan under a blanket of dust The pressure of the years Delivers me back into your grip I am pledging my love to you Still waiting Breathing under siege Oppressed by the dreams I have to feed Crushed by the flood I won't let you go Born unwise Seeking trust in a broken creed Crushed by the grey I'm waiting for colour 02. Serein Music & lyrics by Katatonia
In the morning
The battle for endurance has been lost Sold my worth and dignity the same I am shade And essence of corroding time So pale next to my love In every way Meaningless scar Through the evening Where our wisdom turns to rust Fill the gap with lost integrity I become the one you haven't seen for years Liberating rain Two shots and I need more Adapt to the flow A taste of the void Get back and focus again More of the fire It churns the blood The waves of dependence Await to be slain By memories of old 03. Old Heart Falls Music & lyrics by Katatonia
The weighted clouds coming by
Has me looking Right here under the sky And I left my home Passed the evening fires In the blink of an eye I had closed the door behind me The vapour of old love Will transfigure through a veil of clarity I sense my grave way below the mire Sorrow will find you Its voice has given way to mine Heart pumps death into our heredity Who wants to come with me For every dream that is left behind me I take a bow With every war that will rage inside me I hear the sound Of another day in this vanishing life Returned to dust And every chance I've pushed away Into the night Time won't let go It's got you in debt now And it's got me crawling all the way back to the start I swear that I saw you there Your hands were reaching out for mine 04. Decima Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Leaving the choirs behind to sing
Of anything fair Of lilac spring A dream of truce behind my eyes A life of journeys will unwind Emerge through idle air Born under a troubled sign Will it hurt to see me find The long lost peace of mind Darling You had me here for a while It breaks my heart to see you cry In the wake of incomplete time Darkness overthrows Map of nowhere is in my hand The roads are blurred Sojourners land So take however long you want But don't forget my love You've pledged yourself to come along You're lost in reveries Holding back the tears Faint sound of the wires The butterfly is in the fire now Lost in a memory you're holding my hands One heart is in the ground The other is veiled in silver all around 05. Sanction Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Bring on salvation
I have a way to find mine I swallow light And what if I move Lapsing into failure In the lowering night In the lowering night I had waited for you Though I was certain you wouldn't come back No Into the after hours Smudged my heart for all to see But it's so quiet now Makes it harder to shine Had a dream about tomorrow But with nothing more to think about I fade out Bring on sedation I have waited a long time And dragged myself a long way There's a flight to Medellín Twelve hours of drinking gin Awakened by summer Sever the ties That were once unyielding Packed my money Under night's neon curtain 06. Residual Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Rid my mind of residual thoughts
Until knowledge will arrive They closed my eyes And cold stars would align In the city the lights are many But I can't find it amusing anymore I watch the night unfold and vanish Stood on the highway So hey Let's celebrate There's no need to cry No one can comfort you There's no one around But baby Can you hear the sky blowing at night It's our wealth And I'm ready to go If you're already there Saw your trail in the snow Did you find the way to freedom It's the last day I'm here Can you hear the sky fall down Collapsing over ravaged ground The sickness rising The towering wall Going for the fire Found the signs of the road I was looking for Bend my desire and fade from their sight The dents in all that I had The tidings from our fading sun Made me wiser Take your time Everyone will want to go Step by errant step Degraded my heart That's what you do when you have nothing more to find 07. Serac Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Well
These are the words that you won't find This closure is not what you had in mind Commemorate and relive the harm The treason Conclude Lest we forgive what did bring us here This closure is not what you had in mind I try to remember you as it was Fragments Ghost of different shades Cold day up ahead I glide away into the dark Two hours til morning's due And I wait here for you To see you rise like the tide Graced and admired I fall away across the dark It will inspire Fell inside Touched upon deadened virtue Made it burn through weights of courage Conformed to all those already hidden Their crystal ground Steel made wall See the barrier stand tall Ascend through the air and find A heart yet undefined Source of withering code Of dust, of deceit Can't proceed without a guide Intuition abandoned you I'm clouding the view 08. Last Song Before The Fade Music & lyrics by Katatonia
My memories like
Deleted film Awareness of this fire Kerosene Ignite the trial of my mind Above the horizon now Upon the freezing tracks Grasp for the embers of my life You came back but so did I Who's in control Spite So cold in this light Reflective summary Froze me in a frame My time had run out before the future came Depart from insight Breach was made How could I ever forget our days I drown in silver Set to go Unafraid Into the blue, blue waves Though I had hoped to hear your voice there Last song before the fade Arise to other heights now Make me transcend into your still heart Beyond this world of stone Let me surrender to the streams of nought Last song before the fade Sick days behind me now Winter wails through the chest Dim the lights as I pass Will be no harm 09. Shifts Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Spiralling nights in the void
Weathered coat and a dagger If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing A voice that will die on a mountain And I fear that I've stayed here just a little too long I had to go where you couldn't follow In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind And all the fortunes they took away The shifting earth beneath us The clouds at our feet The sun was made a jewel When at night it did sleep Nothing to observe Cast in a trench of fire I see the sky is a ceiling And when my heart dies down I am long gone on the fields of summer's green Away from fall and famine I am in every season The one you have always known Life did not reward you So find your way to the river and let go 10. The Night Subscriber Music & lyrics by Katatonia
I am ready to find
The lost way to vanishing days I write words void of worth In my youth I will always stay But there is room for every lie They put on my shoulders I let it inside Inseparable growth Marks us still Abundance won't come Purge our will Cut out and resign Overtaken and left behind It's in our racing hearts The things we never let go of They spill into my love I'm thinking If torpor had left my soul Voices would sing I would submit my heart To the sentiment within And let go of the night that is abiding here Old songs lost their grace Send some light back to this place 11. Pale Flag Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Our burden fell down
Once shared but waged war on my mind So told my love farewell now No loyalty to find When You vanish over the skies I am forsaken 'Neath the ground I lie Was banished from this hurtful life I am forlorn All dreams have turned to strife Winter winds take flight Circling over my grave A haunting voice amidst the trees Rising up across the sea Survival It was destined for your name Compassion Brings you here when the rain falls on mine 12. Passer Music & lyrics by Katatonia
You came in
To my circle of trust Arriving late You could have done better But it's okay Contemplating summer And what could have been Who knows But I fear You took the words from My drunken heart And they're vanishing with you Closing down Leaking my inactivated mind Into you Memorial Let's put everything underground now Your void eyes How long until you come back around 5 am I'm fading Ghost on the pavement I celebrate futility within I am wretched All colours blur to one You did well to make me believe It was a way to survive To run a scar inside Ascend now As your chain of rust has swayed me Observing dead air So worn out You took your gear and hit the trail I was there by the runway Above spires and buildings now You have passed the horizon In time another star will rise Dissimulation On the wind comes the message now You have passed the horizon Divide like wings 13. Vakaren Music & lyrics by Katatonia
Du är vakaren
Dina tankar går bredvid Hand i hand med ljuset Att se klart Att aldrig vara sen Jag hör ditt namn i bruset Kylans port Dörren utan lås Dygnets cirkel runt dig Alarmet Om det nånsin går Håll dig intill mig Rikedom Domen kommer Det är så dom gör affärer När man inte har nåt kvar att ge dom Då kommer dom tillbaks Ta det som ett löfte genom åren Det finns ingen med en tanke som är klar Bevakar ni mig nu Jag har ett vapen i mitt hem I det tysta huset Men lämnar staden, landet Kommer aldrig mer igen Min hand kan snudda ljuset sen Spegeln står vinklad så man ser Snö och sedlar falla Jag dansar tyst, bara två steg Till höger och sen vänster Man orkar inte mer Men hade du gått förbi mig i staden där vi var Innan jag hade åkt Våra hjärtan hade lyst upp gatan då 14. Sistere Music & lyrics by Katatonia
You stay out here in the snow
All night beside the road But there's fire so keep warm I'm leaving soon It's bleak And inside you can't hold your thoughts together The slumber within a dreamer of stars In a house of ash and scars So many miles apart And all we see is white tonight Goodnight lover, sleep well I'll get you here I'll call early tomorrow It's time for allies to rise Are you in baby The sunset is shattering Time waits for no one A winter song inside the heart Won't you hear me when I call It's time for you and me to fall |
