Takeover Lyrics by Katatonia

The Fall of Hearts

2016

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Your still voice
Drives me further under now
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground

[Verse 3]
Unbearable to have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
The devil inside comes back to escort me

[Verse 4]
I burn, this fever drives me
Straight into your arms again
Unspeakable, drop your withered pride
Come back and forgive me

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
You wait by the river
You wait for my eyes
And who else is waiting
For the summer sky

[Verse 2]
Your still voice
Drives me further under now
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground

[Verse 3]
Unbearable to have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
The devil inside comes back to escort me

[Verse 4]
I burn, this fever drives me
Come back and forgive me

[Bridge]
Come back and forgive me
I burn, this fever drives me
Straight into your arms again

[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
