Velvet Thorns

Katatonia

Ten strings of darkness on a violin sad


I watch the mountains where the frost begins


The northern storm is guiding me


To the frost


Silently the night birds fly


Their last scream my eternal dirge


Under the full moon a funeral


In the forest


Still I walk with open wounds but the third is now rising


Through the ashes of a dying love a new soul is born


I watch the feathers like snow in the winter


The angels that fell, so splended to rape


Tall are the shadows that dance before me as they


Show the way to the dawn


An autumn forest that never reach


Condemned to sorrow


Chasing the wind/Like a spirit fly


Through the autumn trees/Towards the sky


Hoofs are pouding/In the clouds above


The chariot of sorrow/Watch me die


Hear the violin/So sad and blackened


Like a breeze/The songs of drynhwyl


Chasing the wind/Like my spirit die


Dreaming of the queen/The queen of roses


Now they die, pure sorrow flow


My souls funeral, too close to the end


Now they die, purest blood pours


Forever die, but I must...


I must die


Through the sky


And the forest


Follow the wind, go north my child


To the purest of winters


Go to the forest that never ends


There you'll find your fate


And to the north I rode, on the coldest of winds


I watched the mountains where the frost begun


Where no angels ever dared to tread


Where death is all mine
