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 WinterWings
My withering Soul.
Let me Die.
Gateways of Bereavement
A Temple of guilt
Falling Deep
Embraced in Grief
My withering soul
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…
Their best album by far, and the best metal album of all time for me. I am into many kinds of music, including pop... but since Brave Murder Day, Katatonia has been continuosly falling down and they have become an empty, boooring band with an absolute lack of feeling, at least for me. Don´t know why, but even bands which are inspired in Katatonia´s post-Brave Murder Day era (like Klimt 1918) are thousand times better than Katatonia... so arguments like "you are a true metal close minded", or "you are not mature/musically evolved enough" are not valid here. The new Katatonia fans (and even Katatonia members themselves) like to throw that kind of shit in your face when you dare to say what you think.
Jonas is the true sorrow and grief ambassador. What a mind for this wonderful work and the musicians created the perfect sound to transport the feelings into a real mental inferno. Love Katatonia. Maybe they read this, come back to México we love your work and are great live too. The best band in this planet for me. Wooo Jonas lyrics in Bloodbath are fuckin gore and stupid as hell and the riffs of Anders simple but brutal like death metal is. These guys are fukin genius. I saw Katatonia in Monterrey México 28 sept 2007 and previously I talked with Anders for a moment. I told him "your music is really great and very well made", he said "nice to hear that, thank you", I was 21 years old and 7 years knowing Katatonia. Now I think I should asked to him about his tecnique and composition and ideas. Maybe later. Jonas was a cold person in this year, and only seeing us like we were shit.
