In Silence

Dazzling lights, deceive your vision
A constant state of vertigo
Glooming shades are getting closer
Pierce the veil and take a short glimpse of the afterlife
Here comes the silence, only inner voices there
Here comes the silence, from the bowels of your hollow self
Bleak water fill your lungs
Α sudden urge to breathe
Αttempt to expel the liquid inside
No more self-loathing
Godspeed, goodbye
Here comes the silence, of your undying breath
Here comes the silence, from the bowels of your hollow
Slow and steady, start descent
To these eerie depths of hell
No light, no sound, no life
No more struggle
Drown in, lethe
Τhe body erupts
Life flashes before your eyes
A torment of eternal doom
Rewind that life, relive the moment of loss
You tried to lead me astray
Same struggle once again
The essence of being unsafe
Retreat from what, from what i mostly adore
I won’t let you go
To become a grain of sand
So vast and deep
The secrets are yours to keep
No time to spare
To reach the bottom of the sea
Farewell, we’ll meet again
Farewell, to another day

Woe, Is Me

Every moment I am to woe
No more demons stealing my thoughts
Every moment I am to woe
No distress or fear that I owe
Νo more traitors tying my noose
Εvery moment larger than than life
Εvery torment lost in the way
Εvery sound is fading away
Perish all
Perish all away
Perish all
Perish all away
Winter’s cloth
Bring the rain
Wrath of fallen
Angels weep
Stare at the darkness dance
But all the shadows, stand still
I swore
Wake up lust
Wake up fallen
Rise against
But from the blackest black
You hear the silence sing
Complex times, I will never alone
Helpless times, I will never show
To release us, never glow
How we say, I will never alone
In weal and woe
Save me
Bring me, away
Forever dead
Save me, away
Bring me
Take me home
Bring me away
Break me

I will not speak of the earthly
I am of the unknown
My wound, is my guide, what you seek is seeking you
These pains you feel, are messengers
Listen to them
Tear off the mask
Your face is glorious
From life you may evade but from death you shall not
From the cosmic sphere, from the depths of the abyss
There is no easy way, to remove the crown of thorns
My wound is my guide, what you seek is seeking you
This place is a dream, souls adrift, no time to heal
I’m not this body, i’m not this rigid skin
I am the ash, that floats within
Cold heart, made of stone
Cold heart, makes me groan
Under the guise of night
You reveal your true self
Far from the shades
Far side of lonesome
When time stood still
See through delusion
Cold heart, made of stone
Cold heart, makes me groan

All is hollow
A fire alight
Slowly ashes remain
And the chains at the wrists of their hands
Keep them long-suffering
Grasp for silence once again
Ascent to light
And the truth is out there
Years have passed
Blink of an eye
Echoes and shadows
Fill me again
Constant strive to feel alive
Coming round again
Burning fire, I admire
Coming round again
Dire lies, slide in fire
Coming round again
Now praise your god
Sent me for more
I stand before you
Take what is mine
Strike down the wicked
Break free from golden cell
Commit your way
Lay down, embrace the dismay
Following
The beckoning
Our hearts
Sickening
Once more
Follow me
Blaze new trail
We fall apart
Against his will
Gaze on us all
Distantly
Welcome the truth (Higher above)
As lies beneath (Fallen to deep)
All lies as truth
Trickery
Crawl in too deep
Hell I praise
Swallow your pride
Silently
Pray for plague
Sell our soul
Bring me to life
Treason
Crawling above
Where is your son
Hiding away
Closure

That night
Sun divine
Glorified
All-seeing god
How it feels outside there’s so cold
Under the wings of the euphoric skies
Under the moon and in reach with the holy lights
Enter the realm of space and time
That night
Absorb light
Desecrate
The fall of man
Eternal bliss
Is already here
Holding hands
Til our final breath
Decent
Come home with me, the world is dying
We have to fall, the world is ending now
Wake up, now
Our hopes forgotten
Sharp words, like razors
Sent from above
Wake up, now
Our hopes forgotten
Sharp words, like razors

The Guilt of Feeling Alive

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom.

A revelation! How did I miss this one? Scratches that Amenra itch like no other, but the full frontal-assault of the mid-range vocals recalls Abandon. Acoustic segues help to ground this in a more Iberian ambiance
