"Criminals" as written by Anders Nystrom and Jonas Petter Renkse....
The way the light hits the road
The way I am unable to protect you
Oh I'm running away
I will never forgive myself
For running away from you
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die
The way my eyes cannot move
The way I hope to be protected
And for one moment I thought
That I was lost among the lights of houses
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die
My dreams of violence
See them coming true
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die
The way I am unable to protect you
Oh I'm running away
I will never forgive myself
For running away from you
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die
The way my eyes cannot move
The way I hope to be protected
And for one moment I thought
That I was lost among the lights of houses
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die
My dreams of violence
See them coming true
He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different
So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
Cause I will surely die

Forgot one thing, the part where he says ''He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money'' is when he realizes they aren't kidding and he's kind of shocked saying ''it's not like I owe him money''.
Well anyways I guess I kind of got this whole story going in my head but I really felt like typing this since I rarely get this much imagination. It probably isn't what he meant to say writing these lyrics but everyone interprets them their own way. ;)
atmospheric groups can't/don't write a song like this everyday... (except for anathema, i believe THEY can!)
he went to far that fucker, its not like i owe him money, this is different.
god i love these guys!!!!!!
"The way the light hits the road
The way I am unable to protect you"
and..
"The way my eyes cannot move
The way I hope to be protected"
I get into such deep thoughts with these lines
cant get enough of Katatonia and this song and this album \m/
