Lyrics Katatonia – Idle Blood

You there
Bringer of my despair
You are stagnation of hope and will
O you personify loss and remorse

The love for life once bright
(Out of sight)
A burning fuse
The only flame I have
Fate’s spiral down this curve
(Shall only serve)
The seeds growing my misery
These wounds kill time
My struggle sublime
Idle the blood
A black state of mind
All dreams left behind

You claim to be my long absent friend
You are the cancer that just moved in
You come with the dark night of the soul
But I am turning my back on you
You know I do

The love for life once bright
(Out of sight)
A burning fuse
The only flame I have
Fate’s spiral down this curve
(Shall only serve)
The seeds growing my misery
These wounds kill time

x2
Idle the blood
A black state of mind
All my dreams left behind
