Scarlet Heavens

Katatonia · Brave Yester Days [2004]

Only for the wind I lay myself down

Feeling this scarlet scent of death

Under ebony shades I dream of a child

Dancing in heaven, dancing in heaven



I must have seen this face before

A monument of shallow sorrows

Under ebony shades a child now dies

But grievance won't regain



Something grasp for my soul

I think it's God

But my sorrow is dragging me down

Through my sins



Where is God in his heaven?

Why am I a twisted mind?

Now I see the light above

But in darkness I must fall



For my soul you pray at last

Will I find my place?

The stench of sorrow that pierces my flesh

Can never be pure



When the blackness overwhelms me

Where shall I turn?

To run away to never look back

To run away from evil



Only for the wind I lay myself down

Feeling this scarlet scent of death

Under ebony shades I dream of a child

Dancing in heaven, dancing in heaven



I must have seen this face before

A monument of shallow sorrows

Under ebony shades a child now dies

But grievance won't regain



Dancing in heaven
