Closing of the Sky Katatonia

I keep the dogs at bay
My conscience free from sin
My eyes beyond the great cold absence
It's where my farthest love lies and waits

I feel the oceans coil
Feel the chemicals burn
I rest in the long arms of torpor
It's for the closing sky that I yearn

Thoughts like vapor
Views of nothingness appear
Echo the labor
Await the unforgiving years

Can I have a change in my perspective now
(Blue moves out of my range)
A shift in this asperity
(Love drifts away)
A change of color through my house
(I have to let you go)
The token of a strategy

Into the ultra void
In the sleeper's white nest
I dream in a damaged sequence
Of where my oldest love lies at rest
