TOMB OF INSOMNIA

"falling, crying, sleeping to the act …
shouting, mooing towards the sky

2 spirits marching in the fists of eternity
crying…
…cry(??)

falling, crying, sleeping in the act
shouting, mooing towards the sky

(chorus riff)

behold the ancient sky, clouds of lie
souls cant sleep …so loud
cant sleep

uh!

CRY! CRY! AHH! CRY!!

falling, crying, sleeping … is weak
shouting, mooing towards the sky

2 spirits marching in the fists of eternity
…
follow …

(whispered words)

to cry in ancient…

UAAIII!!


…in my grave cant sleep

behold the ancient sky, clouds of black
souls cant sleep or nor can I

KILL ME!

YARGHHH! (beginning cool riffs with organ)

UH!

YAAAH!!

(love story riffs coming up)

now they fall, behold the angels
their withering soul
they cant fly
their confusing anger
their fall is so now I cant sleep

purest sorrows embrace my soul
I cant sleep

AHHHH"

 

[ether]

thanks a lot! It's a good start...
It seems like that a restoring and peaceful sleep is totally absent in Jonas' lyrics...
A few quotations:
...I will sleep tonight to sleep tomorrow if i sleep at last...
you would never sleep at night...
I keep on losing my sleep because of this
i cannot sleep....
....or the nightmares that burn into my head at night...

 

[dirge]

*edit* added some more changes:

falling, crying, sleeping THROUGH the AIR
WITH THE evil shadows, moving towards the sky

wow, now we're getting somewhere, but the real problem is why they're not in the lyric booklet? i mean theres loads of space in there, but no TOI lyrics i thought it may be a cover song, but it says all lyrics Katatonia/Jonas or something. im fucking puzzled, i think i'll make a thread with the question in the title so one of the band members can answer it.

 

[LoboUivante]

it would be nice if we could somehow pull out the lyrics and then post them in some kind of website, since a lot of people wants the lyrics for ToI.

 

[LoboUivante]

... Rise!!

OK, here´s how Jonas has explained all this:

The lyrics to Tomb of Insomnia were made on the spot. I had lyrics to all the tracks except for that one and when it was time to record the vocals for that song I had to write them very spontaneously. I decided to throw away the lyric-paper right after the recording just to forget everything. It was sort of a project, and now I can´t recall much of it. I think that´s fantastic.

 

[Reflexion]

Hello everyone. Here is my transcription of the lyrics.

Tombs of Insomnia(imperfectly transcribed by reflexion)

Falling, Crying,
Slipping Through the Air
With the Lurid Shadow
Moving Toward the Sky

Doomed Spirits
Marching in the Fields of
Eternal Blood
Crying Erotica
Terrified of God

(1:30)
Falling, Crying,
Slipping in the Air
With the Lurid Shadow
Moving Towards the Sky....

(3:02)
Fear of The Ancient Sky....
Clouds of Light
Souls Can't See
As Their Fear Clouds Their Eyes
Yeah, yeah
Terrorized Silence
God's Hand

(5:10)
I Die
I Cry
Falling, Crying,
Slipping Through
Endless Waves of the Lurid Shadow
Moving Toward the Sky

Dead Spirits
Marching in the
Fields of Eternal Blood
Laughing, Rotting,
Fighting This Forlorn God


[whispering] Erotic Crying....

[don't understand this part]

Souls Into the Sky
Where Sorrow is Eternal

[don't understand]


Where Sorrow is Eternal
I am Lying in My Grave
I Cannot See



(8:00)
Fear of the Ancient Sky
Clouds are Boiling
Souls Can't See
And Nor Can I
Can I....
Yeah

(9:26)
Yeah, yeah....


(10:17)
Uunnnhhhh....
Yeah....

(11:41)
I Follow the Heavenly Angels
Their Wings Torn in the Light
They Can't Hear
They Can't Feel the Follower (?)
That Falls So
Now They Can't See
Purest Sorrow
Embrace My Soul
I Can't See
