Gateways Of Bereavement

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 winter wings 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 --- Gateways of Bereavement - Katatonia
