Katatonia - Velvet Thorns (Of Drynwhyl) lyrics

rate me

Ten strings of darkness on a violin sad<br />

I watch the mountains where the frost begins<br />

The northern storm is guiding me<br />

To the frost<br />

Silently the night birds fly<br />

Their last scream my eternal dirge<br />

Under the full moon a funeral<br />

In the forest<br />

Still I walk with open wounds but the third is now rising<br />

Through the ashes of a dying love a new soul is born<br />

I watch the feathers like snow in the winter<br />

The angels that fell, so splended to rape<br />

Tall are the shadows that dance before me as they<br />

Show the way to the dawn<br />

An autumn forest that never reach<br />

Condemned to sorrow<br />

Chasing the wind/Like a spirit fly<br />

Through the autumn trees/Towards the sky<br />

Hoofs are pouding/In the clouds above<br />

The chariot of sorrow/Watch me die<br />

Hear the violin/So sad and blackened<br />

Like a breeze/The songs of drynhwyl<br />

Chasing the wind/Like my spirit die<br />

Dreaming of the queen/The queen of roses<br />

Now they die, pure sorrow flow<br />

My souls funeral, too close to the end<br />

Now they die, purest blood pours<br />

Forever die, but I must...<br />

I must die<br />

Through the sky<br />

And the forest<br />

Follow the wind, go north my child<br />

To the purest of winters<br />

Go to the forest that never ends<br />

There you'll find your fate<br />

And to the north I rode, on the coldest of winds<br />

I watched the mountains where the frost begun<br />

Where no angels ever dared to tread<br />

Where death is all mine
