The Act Of Darkening

Katatonia · Other Songs - Katatonia

So dark

Once an amusement park

Troubled whispers sound

On a mute merry-go-round



So cold

Once a playground of gold

Caved in long ago

Then poisoned with the snow



Oceans of time

Broken patterns align

Hearts washed upon the isle

It carries your name

Like radiance in the rain

The wailing sirens alarm



Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow

Through cracks and wounds our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors

It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise

The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening



Out of reach

(Out of reach and gone from view)

One step behind

(Now light is one step behind you)

Other side

(On the other side of the soul)

Final role

(The void resolves one final role)



So dark

Once an amusement park

Troubled whispers sound

On a mute merry-go-round



So cold

Once a playground of gold

Caved in long ago

Then poisoned with the snow



Oceans of time

Broken patterns align

Hearts washed upon the isle

It carries your name

Like radiance in the rain

The wailing sirens alarm



Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow

Through cracks and wounds our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors

It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise

The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening



Out of reach

(Out of reach and gone from view)

One step behind

(Now light is one step behind you)

Other side

(On the other side of the soul)

Final role

(The void resolves one final role)
