At life's four-way stop
The tinges in your shadow drop
Fate pulls you down for the count
With broken promises to amount
Time seal our ways to the heart of our hiding place
When all our lifelines have been crossed
Some scars can never heal from what we lost
To fail the test and depart the strong
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem in death, a song
And it seems to be that consistency is not what lingers ahead
But a virtue of the dead
One of these days
Hours pass yet the night stays
When your spirit won't turn anew
The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you
Breathing lifeless, we are not afraid to die
Breath in life`s less, you're afraid not to live
Breathing lifeless, we are not afraid to die
Breath in life`s less, you're afraid not to live
To fail the test and depart the strong
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem in death, a song
The tinges in your shadow drop
Fate pulls you down for the count
With broken promises to amount
When all our lifelines have been crossed
Some scars can never heal from what we lost
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem in death, a song
But a virtue of the dead
One of these days
Hours pass yet the night stays
When your spirit won't turn anew
The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you
Breath in life`s less, you're afraid not to live
Breath in life`s less, you're afraid not to live
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem in death, a song

This is one of the most beautiful song songs from katatonia .. I think is perfect lyrically and musically... to me describes the feelings of someone who has realized what pulls you down in life all the expectations we have about living and sharing and how at some point we find out that nothing exterior depends on us that all our suffering comes from the inside and by giving up all the illusions and seeing life for what it is a journey through emotional death is the only way to fulfill our inner self simply living it all without any attachment. a ZEN SONG FROM KATA I LOVE YOU
