Heart Set to Divide - Katatonia

In times of surrender I am shedding my scars

I was sick

But I was set for the stars

The robe wasn’t mine, but I wore it still

In the sunset of age

On the weight of my limbs

And closed was the door to my past perception

And my disposition

Had then been changed

I opened my mind to all the love forsaken

You saw my white flag

You saw our shadows merge

Through tides of repentance

My words led to deed

In their wake

See how I sway

Eyes fixed on the horizon

Bleak as it seems

I let the words relapse

And return to a dream

Then glide into the nights

All my memories unbroken

I let the raptors circle me

To become their only prey

I see the beast laying waste

I see his wings keep unfolding

His name strewn across the sky

And reflected on the world

This is my

Elegy for love

Their covenant

Gold for our blood

Came to stay in exile

Transmigration at a halt

I couldn’t cross

I had no choice but to make peace

Reach higher ground

Every breath now without a sound

Every breath now without a sound

I see the beast laying waste

I see his wings keep unfolding

His name strewn across the sky

And reflected on the world

This is my

Elegy for love

Their covenant

Gold for our blood
