Katatonia Takeover Lyrics

You wait by the river
Days are long and melt right into nothing
You wait for my eyes
And who else is waiting for the summer sky

Your still voice
Drives me further under now
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground

Unbearable to have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
The devil inside comes back to escort me

I burn, this fever drives me
Straight into your arms again
Unspeakable, drop your withered pride
Come back and forgive me

Freezing in the blue light
I hid my plan under a blanket of dust
The pressure of the years
Delivers me back into your grip
I am pledging my love to you
Still waiting


[Chorus]
Breathing under siege
Oppressed by the dreams I have to feed
Crushed by the flood, I won't let you go
Born unwise
Seeking trust in a broken creed
Crushed by the gray, I'm waiting for color

You wait by the river, you wait for my eyes
And who else is waiting for the summer sky
Your still voice
Drives me further under now
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground

Unbearable to have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
The devil inside comes back to escort me
I burn, this fever drives me
Come back and forgive me

[Chorus]
Breathing under siege
Oppressed by the dreams I have to feed
Crushed by the flood, I won't let you go
Born unwise
Seeking trust in a broken creed
Crushed by the gray, I'm waiting for color
