Katla lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's the epilogue of the sequel to the first
And that feeling kicks in when you know you're gonna have to start over
I climbed another mountain but stopped short of the grave
And turned to look around at Iceland's mighty face

[Chorus]
Katla could erupt while I'm sleeping in Vik
It would be over hot and over quick
If this is really all that I get

[Verse 2]
It's a photograph from another endless day
Taken by a former stranger who just ended up my way
She just moved back to the island where she was born and raised
After some years in the city she was home to be amazed

[Chorus]
Katla could erupt while she's sleeping tonight
Don't stop fearing a volcano 'cause it's covered in ice
Don't let the edge off 'cause you feel safe in the light

[Outro]
(Ooh, ah)
The kitchens all closed before I got there
I don't know where to go, I'm living off the air
There's birds outside singing to the lambs
Teaching them no matter what, you never trust a man
I'm scared to go home, I'm scared where I am
On the side of some road with a guitar in my hand
I'm working on safe, I'm working on plain
Life is just adjusting to the dealer's latest hand
