Katatonia - The Act of Darkening lyrics

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
Shape 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
Shape 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 collapse into absence
Collapse into absence collapse into absence
Collapse into absence
