Velvet Thorns-Katatonia

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
