Lyrics - Velvet Thorns (of Drynhwyl) by Katatonia

(february 93)
Ten
Strings of
Darkness on a
Violin
Sad
I watch the
Mountains where the
Frost begins
The
Northern
Storm is
Guiding me
To the
Forest
Silently the
Nightbirds fly
Their last scream my eternal
Dirge
Under the
Fullmoon a
Funeral
In the
Forest
Still
I walk with open wounds but the
Third is nowrising
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, splendid to rape
Tall are the shadows that dance before meas they
Shows 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 pounding /
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
Childto 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 dare to tread
Where
Death is all mine
At last
I found the
Throne of
Bereavement
Grim and bleak raised to the
Sky
The
Velvet
Thorns of
Drynhwyl are mineand so are death and sadness
See...
My final
Sacrfice
In the trees you will hear my voiceever calling ever falling
Ten
Strings of
Darkness on a
Violin
Sad
Flowing tunes on
Autumn
Funeral
Ashes spread in the
Northern
Storm
