The act of darkening


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,
and 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 shapes,
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,
and 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 shapes,
of vows and codes of promise.
The time to let our minds speak silently,
in the act of darkening.

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.

Collapse into absence...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Katatonia is a Swedish metal band formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse (formerly known as Lord Seth) and Anders Nyström (formerly known as Blakkheim). Early Katatonia albums are noted for the overall bleak melancholy and despair of their sound, often giving them the classification of doom metal or death/doom metal. Katatonia's more recent albums have progressed to a wider sound, with modern overtones, dropped guitars, symphonic synths and arrangements, alternative sounds and generally heavy riffs. The early Katatonia albums are sometimes, along with albums by bands such as My Dying Bride, Anathema and Paradise Lost, considered forerunners of the death/doom metal genre.
