Katatonia – Shifts lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spiraling nights in the void
Weathered coat and a dagger
If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing
A voice that will die on a mountain
And I fear that I've stayed here just a little too long
I had to go where you couldn't follow
[Pre-Chorus]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
[Verse 2]
Cast in a trench of fire
I can see the sky is a ceiling
And when my heart dies down
I am long gone
On the fields of summer's green
Away from fall and famine
[Pre-Chorus]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
[Bridge]
I'm in every season
The one you have always known
Life did not reward you
So find your way to the river and let go
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
Spiraling nights in the void
Weathered coat and a dagger
If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing
A voice that will die on a mountain
And I fear that I've stayed here just a little too long
I had to go where you couldn't follow
[Pre-Chorus]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
[Verse 2]
Cast in a trench of fire
I can see the sky is a ceiling
And when my heart dies down
I am long gone
On the fields of summer's green
Away from fall and famine
[Pre-Chorus]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
[Bridge]
I'm in every season
The one you have always known
Life did not reward you
So find your way to the river and let go
[Chorus]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
