Gateways of Bereavement Songtext
von 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 unities with the blackened rain
Summon with my tears
Now descend on winter wings
My withering soul

Die
Die
Let me die
Die


Gateways of bereavement
A temple of guilt
Falling deep
Embraced in grief
My withering soul
Let me die

Die
Die
Let me die
Let me die

Farewell life and all I died for
Now my time is over on earth
Another journey has 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 a silent sky
Death comes to take me away
And from the gateways you hear me cry

I love you
