Andy McKee - For My Father

LYRICS

Visions come
Visions come
In a sickroom bed
There's something left to learn
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the rich meet death
Confront our own concern

See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

The red circle holds the only light
Break down my perspective
And notify everyone when the time is right
My mouth remains inactive

See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before

I am ice
I am clear
Let the world be cold
Our deliberation
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the words come slow
Your constant incantation

See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before

Repeating cycle of light / no light
There's nothing in the airspace
There's no one in the airspace
Repeating cycle of love / no love

See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before

Deliberation

Wave back at me
Back is turned
If I fail once
Circuit burn

Saw you in the lampglow
You fade
Nothingness incarnate

Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be
Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be

Consternation
Internal source
Overthrowing
Stray from course

Saw you in the lampglow
You fade
Nothingness incarnate

Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be
Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be

Saw you in the lampglow
You fade
Nothingness incarnate

Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be
Until
I get there
Hidden
I will be

Consternation

Hurts to see
My incapacity
Shame
Idle mind
No
You have changed me

My mouth is shut
Stupidity have shut my mouth
Shame
Idle mind
No
You have changed me

So when you come
I'm too unprepared to come along
I hold your hand so hard
My knuckles turn white
When your clear the streets
And kill the lights

See the line
Border to freedom
The words
Underlined
My name
You have changed it

Your tone changed to cool
This how you tell me once again
How I have nothing on you
How everything is supposed to end

So when you come
I'm too unprepared to come along
I hold your hand so hard
My knuckles turn white
When your clear the streets
And kill the lights

Father
I won't make it
It's the journey of a life
Fix my eyes on the sun
What have I done

Father
I won't make it
It's the journey of a life
Fix my eyes on the sun
What have I done

So when you come
I'm too unprepared to come along
I hold your hand so hard
My knuckles turn white
When your clear the streets
And kill the lights

Follower

Rush through the rusted veins
Illuminate the face of one
So I have a light
So unaware about the consequence

I heard no warning
About the little compromise
The distorted views you had

Cold white spring
A wordless song I sing
Eye, white cloud
All my thoughts are in doubt

Rusted

No altar stands for me to fall,
No holy light, no sacred call.
I’ve crawled through fires, walked through knives,
And came out howling, eating life.

You kneel for hope — I rise through wrath,
I wear no chains, I carve my path.
You bend for lies etched in the sky —
I laugh with thunder when angels cry.

I kneel to no one!
No cross, no crown, no throne undone!
I bleed, I burn, I bite, I run —
My soul bows only to the sun!

I watched your kings rot in silk,
Fed on fear, drank mercy’s milk.
But I drank venom from my wounds,
And danced alone under blood moons.

No priest could speak my name and live,
No god can curse what I won’t give.
My worship’s carved in tooth and flame —
My altar’s built from shattered names.

You kneel for comfort.
You kneel for peace.
I rise for war.
I rise for me.

I kneel to no one!
No cross, no crown, no throne undone!
I bleed, I burn, I bite, I run —
My soul bows only to the sun!

Not heaven. Not hell. Not fate. Not fear.
I am the silence you can’t hear.
I am the scream behind your hymn 
Born from ash and raised in sin.

“I KNEEL… TO NO ONE!”

I Kneel To No One

no matter how violent the storm, I won’t collapse.

Storm Inside

For All We Know

No matter how brightly the sun shines, sorrow will always cast its ageless shadow across the human soul. Expressing that eternal sadness is an art in itself, and over the last two decades, Sweden’s masters of melancholy Katatonia have firmly established themselves as the most passionate and skilful exponents of the form. Formed by vocalist/drummer Jonas Petter Renkse and guitarist Anders Nyström in Stockholm in 1991, the band emerged from the amorphous maelstrom that was the nascent death/doom metal scene; a darker, more emotionally resonant sibling to the ongoing extreme metal world, and one that offered a new and more humane perspective on life’s darker days.
