"Shifts" lyrics - KATATONIA

Spiraling nights in the void
Weathered coat and a dagger
If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing
A voice that will die on a mountain
And I fear that I've stayed here just a little too long
I had to go where you couldn't follow

[Pre-Chorus:]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away

[Chorus:]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe

Cast in a trench of fire
I can see the sky is a ceiling
And when my heart dies down
I am long gone
On the fields of summer's green
Away from fall and famine

[Pre-Chorus:]
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away

[Chorus:]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe

[Bridge:]
I'm in every season
The one you have always known
Life did not reward you
So find your way to the river and let go

[Chorus:]
The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe
The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe
When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
