Katorz
Katorz is the fourteenth album, and the eleventh studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Voivod, and was released on July 25, 2006. The name of the album is phonetic for "quatorze", the French word for fourteen.
Demos for the album had been made but before the band could properly begin recording it, guitarist Denis D'Amour (a.k.a. Piggy) died on August 25, 2005 due to colon cancer. The guitar and bass tracks for Katorz were recorded by D'Amour and bassist Jason Newsted (formerly of Metallica) on D'Amour's Mac at Newsted's house in California. After D'Amour's death, Langevin and Bélanger recorded their drum and vocal tracks, respectively, to be added to those existing tracks. The song, "The X-Stream", is included in Guitar Hero II.

Katorz
by: VoivodHostile white
Blizzard's rage
Crystallized
Frosted face
The sore shoulders
The weight of days
How far to go
In desert snow
Where the wind takes our dreams
Where the scene is unreal
Across the Iceland
Enduring fate
The hills of sickness
The cliff of fear
Months in darkness
The loss of time
Only a limelight
Flows in the sky
And every morning
Buried in place
Zombies awaking
And keep the pace
There is no crossroad
Nor choice to make
It's always further
Always ahead
Where the wind steals our dreams
Where yourself is revealed
Hey!
Turning in circles
Our worst nightmare
No more supplies
Nor food to share
All the strength
I've left behind
Would be useful
Now that I die
It doesn't matter
Not anymore
Only a limelight
Flows in the sky
Glows in the sky
Where the wind takes our dreams
Where the scene is surreal
Where the wind steals our dreams
Where yourself is revealed
Who wants to land
On no-man's land?
Who wants to end
On Morgoth land?
