Neon Epitaph - Katatonia

How wild the wind came in

On the day when I found out

Passage of the one dead star

Its black dust lingering

Seeping through to my lungs

I fall towards the skyline

I drown my sorrows here

In liquids clear

Time for absolution

How the dead birds sing

They’re right atop my roof

Take my offering

My promise can never be undone

This weight of midnight

Replaced by the shadow of a sun

I hold you in my arms

And it’s farther than you’ve ever been

Little one

Adrift in sacred vertigo

The name is wandering

Our neon epitaph

Time for absolution

All the dead birds sing

They’re right atop my roof

Shadow of my shadow

Cling not to my grief

I’m long left behind now

You are free

Shadow of my shadow

Cling not to my grief

I’m long left behind now

You are free

I hold you in my arms

And it’s farther than you’ve ever been

Little one

Take my offering

My promise can never be undone

This weight of midnight

Replaced by the shadow of a sun
