Katatonia
Album • 2009
Rage from a distant The name unfamiliar Spikes reach the heart Time set for rewind... The dark will rise Abandon your freedom Give up the right to find your true self Forsake your own reasons Forsaker Forsaker... Hand of a leader Bleached by snowfall Opposition is drugged The great end is sweeping in The dark will rise Abandon your freedom Give up the right to find your true self Forsake your own reasons Forsaker Forsaker Forsaker

You there, bringer of my despair You are stagnation of hope and will (hope and will) You personify loss and remorse And you hide until my fear reappear The love for life once bright (out of sight) A burning fuse the only flame I have Fate’s spiral down this curve (shall only serve) The seeds growing my misery These wounds kill time My struggle sublime Idle the blood A black state of mind (All dreams left behind...) You claim to be my long absent friend You are the cancer that just moved in (just moved in) You come with the dark night of the soul But I am turning my back on you You know I do! The love for life once bright (out of sight) A burning fuse the only flame I have Fate’s spiral down this curve (shall only serve) The seeds growing my misery These wounds kill time My struggle sublime Idle the blood A black state of mind (All dreams left behind...)

In the still eclipse every light is a heartbeat In the spring where I watch (where I watch) The sudden change I find this so hard Onward into battle! Time is growing so dark around me I... shallow one! Burn us out day by idle day Days at the sea My words are incomplete In the blind spot where I saw you On the 4th at night I find this so hard Onward into battle! Time is growing so dark around me I... shallow one! Burn us out day by idle day

Sold are the eyes I have and cold is the wait for nothing Dark, I write my name in a long line How is it possible for you to try? It’s coming true! I’ve changed my name but I will pass it on to you Journey... No present thoughts Coming day Darkest wave It’s coming true! I’ve changed my name but I will pass it on to you Our thoughts are entwined! You speak and I hear other words behind I wave from the edge of the pier And fade into the dreams of sleepers Marked, I’ve had this stain for a long time We called on the bird long before It’s coming true! I’ve changed my name but I will pass it on to you Our thoughts are entwined! You speak and I hear other words behind

Evening... coming through the crowd I hold my head high... straining Out here... dissonance surrounds I hold my head high I see the wings behind your back Burned all the maps to reach you Watching distant names I saw danger And then I felt the pressure Downfall... this is our time The setting sun over... all I ever had So when did you come to think... That you would tell me that I have no one? When do you think that you... Will give back the things that you owe me? Burned all the maps to reach you Watching distant names I saw danger And then I felt the pressure (The setting sun over all I ever had) So when did you come to think That you would tell me that I have no one? When do you think that you Will give back the things that you owe me? So when did you come to think That you would tell me that I have no one? When do you think that you Will give back the things that you owe me?

Loving mother, he has come to take your son Listen, how he strides the earth When only animals are awake When the shattering of ideals begin God of ruin will come to you Loving mother, he has come to take your son Loving mother, he has come to take your son Fallen from the faded sky Nephilim comes through foul air When morals will decline God of ruin will come to you Loving mother, he has come to take your son Loving mother, he has come to take your son

The pledge I’ve forgotten this time I am so uncertain That my heart will go on My beloved one If you were here you’d find That I’m not feeling well That I will have to go on Though summer unwinds now I have no reason to follow I have only you My sun is pale My heart’s old Why, so quiet this new night? There’s a white cloud under my eyelid My beloved one There is swirling dark shrouding my freedom Cold, is the undertone Hold, my hand I’m in the waiting line Mute I stand Barren ground Though summer unwinds now I have no reason to follow I have only you My sun is pale My heart’s old

Our inconvenient burden It could be lifted off of us If we gave up to finally let go Of the free will that we were given (Our graves) above the timberline Our name chalked... (The pressure of wealth) (No longer found....) The unforgiving void The forge in which our values burn The resting leech, our thinning minds In my abstinence I turn to nothing (Our graves) above the timberline Our name chalked... (The pressure of wealth) (No longer found....) Let them inherit this fire now... Lest they will forget that we were ever here (ever...) Let them inherit this fire now... Lest they will forget that we were ever here (ever...)

The blinding white so far behind I am running over idle ground This evening I kept my word Did you? I’m turning around Wait for your sound Only so far according to who Departer! The journey of our lives I’m so slow compared to you (When did you first stay?) Departer! (I swear it’s the truth!) It’s the month of July Brother in your eyes I was the stronger So how am I to cover you now... Without shadowing your path? This time I watch from the sidelines Your ghost in the limelight Face your fears and pierce the night So close If only you knew Defender! The story of our lives I’m so rash compared to you (Why would I swear?) Surrender! You know it’s the truth! It’s the path of our lives
