Paroles pour l'album Night Is the New Day de Katatonia

1. FORSAKER

Rage from a distant
The name unfamiliar
Spikes reach the heart
Time set for rewind

The dark will rise
Abandon your freedom
Give up the right to find the true self
Forsake your own reasons

Forsaker
Forsaker

Hand of a leader
Bleached by snowfall
Position is a drug
The great end is sweeping in

The dark will rise
Abandon your freedom
Give up the right to find the true self
Forsake your own reasons

Forsaker
Forsaker
Forsaker

2. THE LONGEST YEAR

In the nights of old I've always wished
In the longest year that had me down
And I would freeze if you ever asked me
That was my own way

Confront the guilt and try to overcome
Do not go away
I'm not there yet

Confront the guilt and try to overcome
Do not go away
I'm not there yet

I can see fire
But I fall behind
When I give up my thoughts redefine (will defy)
How cold is the flame
Of our compromising future
How cold is the sun

City lights are fading still
Becoming the sky so white
But I'm in the dark of this our new day
This is my own way

Find
This way will hold me down
How cold is the sun

I can see fire
But I fall behind
When I give up my thoughts redefine (will defy)
How cold is the flame
Of our compromising future
How cold is the sun

3. IDLE BLOOD

You there the bringer of my despair
You are stagnation of hope and wealth
Oh you personify loss and greed of mine
And you hide until my fear reappear

The love for life once bright
I'm burning fuse the only flame I have
From spiral down the sky
The seed is growing my misery

These wounds have killed time
We struggle to climb
Idle blood
Black state of mind
All my dreams left behind

You claim to be my long-absent friend
You are the curse in
You come with the dark night of the soul
But I'm turning my back on you
You know I do

The love for life once bright
I'm burning fuse the only flame I have
From spiral down this curve
The seed is growing my misery

These wounds have killed time
We struggle to climb
Eye of the blind
Black state of mind
All my dreams left behind

Eye of the blind
Oh the black state of mind
All my dreams left behind

4. ONWARD INTO BATTLE

In the still eclipse
Every light is a heartbeat
In the spring
Where i watch
The sudden change

I find this so hard

Onward into battle
Time is growing so dark around me
I, shallow one
I burn us out
Day by idle day

Days at the sea
My words are incomplete
In the blind spot
Where i saw you
On the 4th at night

5. LIBERATION

Sold are the eyes I have
And cold is the wait for nothing
And dark
I write my name in a long line
How is it possible for you to try

It's coming true
I've changed my name but I will pass it on to you

Journey
No present thoughts
Coming day
Darkest wave

It's coming true
I've changed my name but I will pass it on to you
Our thoughts entwined
And I hear other words behind

I wave from the edge of the pier
And fade into the dreams of sleepers
Marked
I have had this stain for a long time
We call on the bird long before

6. THE PROMISE OF DECEIT

Evening
Coming through the crowd
I hold my head high
Straining
Out here dissonance surrounds
I hold my head high
I see the wings behind your back

Out here
Dissonance surrounds
I hold my head high
I see the wings behind your back

Burned all the maps to reach you
Watching distant lands
I saw danger
And then I felt the pressure

Downfall
This is our time
The setting sun over all I ever had

So when did you come to think
That you would tell me that I have no one
And when do you think that you
Will give back the things that you owe me

7. NEPHILIM

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

Listen
How he strides the earth
When only animals are awake
When the shattering of ideals begin
God of ruin
Will come to you

Fallen
From the faded sky
Nephilim comes through foul air
And when morals will decline
God of ruin
Will come you

8. NEW NIGHT

Touch
I'm forgotten this time
I am so uncertain
That my heart will go on

My loving one
If you are here you'll find
That I'm not feeling well
That I will have to go on

Though summer and wine smell
I have no reason to follow
I have only you
My sun is fading
My heart's soul

Why, so quiet this new night
There's a white cloud under my eyelid
Come my loving one
There is swirling dark drowning my freedom

Calm is the undertow
Hold my hand
I'm in the waiting line
You and I stand buried in the ground

Though summer and wine smell
I have no reason to follow
I have only you
My sun is fading
My heart's soul

9. INHERITANCE

Our inconvenient burden
It could be lifted off of us
If we gave up
To finally let go
Of the free will that we were given
Our graves
Above the timberline
Our names chalked
The pressure of wealth
No longer found

The unforgiving void
The forge in which our values burn
The resting leech
Our thinning minds
In my abstinence I turn to nothing

Let them inherit this fire now
Lest they will forget that we were
Ever here

10. DAY & THEN THE SHADE

I will rise
To dreams of freedom
And avow
To return the treason that came under your reign
The day and then the shade
I have slept
Inside the season that froze within my grasp

All my fears come into view
There must be an end soon
When every waking hour
Is part of the lie

I will rise
Over glass cathedrals
And let go
With my eyes resting upon the nearing dark
The day and then the shade
I have slept
Within the reason that kept me so remote

Make a brand new vow
In the heat of the evening
The darkness swarms
I was nothing, ever
But red like the sun
Dying down over the freeway
Is the brand new sky
Over the mountain ridge

11. DEPARTER

The blinding white
So far behind i am
Running
Over idle ground
This evening
I kept my word
Did you
I'm turning around
Wait for your sound

Only so far
According to who
Departer
The journey of our lives
I'm slow (when did you first say)
Compared to you
Departer (i swear it's the truth)
It's the month of July

Brother
In your eyes i was the stronger
So how am i to cover you now
Without shadowing your path
This time
I watch from the sidelines
Your ghost in the limelight
Face your fears
And pierce the night

So close
If only you knew
Defender
The story of our lives
I'm so rash (why would I swear)
Compared to you
Surrender (you know it's the truth)
It's the path of our lives
