Katatonia - Velvet Thorns (Of Drynwhyl) Lyrics
Ten strings of darkness on a violin sadI watch the mountains where the frost beginsThe northern storm is guiding meTo the frostSilently the night birds flyTheir last scream my eternal dirgeUnder the full moon a funeralIn the forestStill I walk with open wounds but the third is now risingThrough the ashes of a dying love a new soul is bornI watch the feathers like snow in the winterThe angels that fell, so splended to rapeTall are the shadows that dance before me as theyShow the way to the dawnAn autumn forest that never reachCondemned to sorrowChasing the wind/Like a spirit flyThrough the autumn trees/Towards the skyHoofs are pouding/In the clouds aboveThe chariot of sorrow/Watch me dieHear the violin/So sad and blackenedLike a breeze/The songs of drynhwylChasing the wind/Like my spirit dieDreaming of the queen/The queen of rosesNow they die, pure sorrow flowMy souls funeral, too close to the endNow they die, purest blood poursForever die, but I must...I must dieThrough the skyAnd the forestFollow the wind, go north my childTo the purest of wintersGo to the forest that never endsThere you'll find your fateAnd to the north I rode, on the coldest of windsI watched the mountains where the frost begunWhere no angels ever dared to treadWhere death is all mine
