Gateways Of Bereavement

Katatonia

I stand as I cry


Mourning in the silent rain


Death will light my burden


Endless is my sorrow


Gateways so dark


All these years of dying


Gone are dreams of velvet voices


I am you, we were one


Vast are fields I walk


Where sorrow never dies


The sky unites with the blackened rain


Summon with my tears


Now descend on winterwings


My withering soul..


Let me die,


Gateways of Bereavement


A temple of guilt


Falling deep


Embraced in grief


My withering soul


Let me die


Farewell life and all I died for


Now my time is over on Earth


Another journey ha begun


Alone I died, not praying for mercy


Nor praying for salvation


A lonely journey in a darkened dream


Time has come to spread my wings


Slow....


descending from the silent sky


Death comes to take me away


And from the gateways you hear my cry...


... I love you ...
