Insomnium - At The Gates of Sleep

Here's the beautiful lyrics to this beautiful song![Music & lyrics: Sevänen]Listen to the night, hearken to the silenceThe wind sings in fir-trees, forest's music ringsRueful is the tune, wailful the soughingSoothing is the choir, murmur of the treesTime to forget all the heartache and painTime to leave behind all the toil and travailHere where the water mirrors a still skyHere a fair place for a child to lieUnder the woeful sky, moss-grown our bed tonightHere we sprawl in mellow darknessIn warm caress of the nightFar away from world's betrayalsAfar from all the Heaven's mightBetter to dream, far sweeter to slumberThan face the cold days, bear the grim longingTime to rest a while, close the drowsy eyesSleep till the dawn, till the bleak morningHeed not the rustle or hoots of the owlHeed not the ghosts that still dwell in the soulNight brings us solace and serenity deepNight brings at last neverending sleepBetter it would be to sleep foreverIn silent shades of the evernightSweet are the dreams in the groves of deathFar away from the earthly woesSound is the sleep under spruce's boughsSerene are the dreams in the darkling shadeGone are the cares of the waking worldForgotten the sorrows of the weary heart

you are comparing death/doom metal with death metal. not right. Old Kata and Rapture were death doom.

ok i just learned of this band yea call me noob if u will but i was just wondering why they speak english in there songs i would use my 1st lanuage if i was finnish but to apeal to the massses is the only thing i can quess help in ohio!

this band is so amazing but old katatonia and rapture's songs for the withering also deserve honorable mentions.

@ Rencrow,yeah its quite odd, for ex. sweden and finland have been the same country once. Personally (even though i go against the officials), i consider finland to be a scandinavian country. The only thing that is pretty different is the language imo (since swedish, danish and norwegian are kinda similar, but finnish sticks out from them).Meh, you know what i mean.. :PInsomnium are awesome btw! (gotta discuss the vid right? :P)
