‘Kocytean’ is a wordplay on Cocytus or Kokytos, meaning “the river of wailing” (from the Greek Κωκυτός, “lamentation”) and is a river in the underworld in Greek mythology. Cocytus flows into the river Acheron, across which is the underworld, the mythological abode of the dead (www.katatonia.com).
01 UNFURL
At city centre 9 pm
Just like you wrote
And i try to think about
Snow coming in
Just like before
I will be on stand-by
Releasing the vapour
Into the lung
Letting the wings unfurl
And for a moment i feel young
I call on the bird
Unfurl
It’s time to chose side now
That’s
what you said
When we talked on the phone
So white our eyes
You are still
Are you paralyzed
02. SOLD HEART
When my heart stops
Will my wings unfold
Did you know that I had no one but you
When my eyes close
Will your blood turn older
Did you know that I had no one but you
In the snow veil
Where the ring of promise fell
In the cool white air
One stood abiding
When the road turns
Will my ghost find freedom
Did you know that I have nothing
So I
Sold my love
Forgot the vow
It feels like nothing comes to mind
I pull the weight
And sing
That there's a new cloud over my grave
Now I know
That it did kill me when I could not have you
Sold my heart
03. ASHEN
Won't forgive your ways
I strip my mind with all but scorn
The scales of madness mesmerize
Voice your dead prayer
Hey
You used me
But I had none to confide
Under a veil of stars
Where the darkness grows
The pressure from the chain that you hold me in
Ornament of scars
And the darkness rising
Over the ashen stains that I hold within
Did not forget the name
I stripped my mind with all but you
The scales of madness just before we die
04. SECOND
[Music by Jonas Renkse, Anders Nyström, Lyrics by Jonas Renkse]
Sun has lost
Mountains fell
What took away our anchor
Snow in the old sky
Escape is a long dead end
We need to rise higher
Temples burn
Fires underneath
What controls our anger
Moon coming in
Sun has lost
Did you know
Mountains fell
Letting one second go on
To go over a lifetime
We were such good friends
Will you find me where I am now
05. CODE AGAINST THE CODE
Money growing on a tree
The cold you have come to find
Money going through the wire
The cold you have come to find
You once were the one who had it
The code against the code
Wait
So much to discover
Wait across the borderline
Soul thinned out
All the filth that soiled your baby
Spit it out when they're coming for you
Lowered's heir
06. THE ACT OF DARKENING
[Music & lyrics by Anders Nyström]
So dark
Once an amusement park
Troubled whispers sound
On a mute merry-go-round
So cold
Once a playground of gold
Caved in long ago
And then poisoned with the snow
Oceans of time
Broken patterns align
Hearts washed upon the isle
It carries your name
Like radiance in the rain
The wailing sirens alarm
Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow
Through cracks and wounds our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors
It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise
The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening
Out of reach and gone from view
Now light is one step behind you
On the other side of the soul
The void resolves one final role
Collapse into absence
