Light is Lost

Forced to walk amongst lost souls
Seathing emptiness that precedes
Light is gone, light is lost
Fall away with the dark
Broken homes and broken hearts
Scent of earth and taste of blood
We are not the chosen ones
Only specs of dust lost unto the wind
The only shelter from the cold
Fold the blanket once again
The fire is going out soon
Dark will let the cold in
The food and drink is almost gone
The torch's light is growing weak
My love, I can't feel my feet
My hands are gone, they just feel gone!
Weak
Cold
Scared
Go
Take the last
Go
Save yourself
A limbless body
A wreckage of flesh
Leave me here to die...
Leave me here to die!

A sea where no ship may sail
An ocean of water as air
Waves of cloud churn as the winds
Turbulent and beautiful, utterly untouchable
Nidavellir
The sea of mist
Nothing lies below
White sails blow in the wind
They catch the air
The ship lurches forward
And cuts the cloud
I sail on
An impossible sea
Our journey begun
To the ends of the earth
And like the sea this place has it's storms
Wind and rain batter her hull
Timber creaks and the sails tear
The mast ablaze with St. Elmo's fire
I sail on
The impossible sea
Our journey, so long
Was it not meant to be?
We are battered and worn
Yet the clouds keep us afloat
No destination, no course to chart
The golden sun is a mighty guide
It's rays make the damage difficult to hide
In shadows lurk the nightmares of man
In them we see where horrors began
Nidavellir
The sea of mist
Nothing lies below
And into the depths we go

Inanna, walk with me
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
"There is a curse, which perches upon my shoulders.
I can hear it's beak clacking as it picks at my ears.
It's talons tear into my flesh, but my blood is cold and as it soaks through my clothes,
It watches as I drink deep from this river, and laughs as the water turns to piss in my mouth.
Food turns to ash as I chew it and pleasure tears at me from the inside.
The touch of another scorches against my skin.
Knowledge burns a hole into my mind and grants me visions of things to come.
And music grates against my ears, as a high pitched wail of doom."
Only the ending is assured
And death's sweet embrace
Inanna, walk with me
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
Corrupt and withdrawn
I break away from this
Slowly adorned
There's no return from this
An eye for an eye
Tooth for tooth
Scattered
Lost in truth
Drawn to the dark
There is a hole in my heart
And only the ending is assured
With death's sweet embrace
Inanna, step with me
In this valley of sleep
May the moon, ever overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of Death
Who seeks to claim my head
Are your gates open to me
So I can find some rest

The Poet

Words that come freely
Are words not of mine
Of books and tomes
Of ink and parchment
The wasted scrawling of countless years
Dusty old shelves, a lantern gone dark
Many meals left cold and uneaten
I'm wasting away, I cannot create
Maybe I left this world long, long ago
Will someone not help me?
Come, be my muse, my love, my inspiration
Hold me close, be my reason to write
And help draw this veil back
This gnawing feeling, a voice, a presence
Always in the back of my mind
Taunting and teasing, nagging and egging
Ice cold hands which grasp at my spine
Cursed am I, cursed I am
I shall not fade, NEVER I FADE
Burn with me now, my loving fire
Forget my name, NEVER FORGET MY NAME
Spit in my face, pour salt in my wounds
I laugh from under this thick film of bile
Watching as I throw myself away
Ever further from his ever-loving light
Make me one of your kind
The empty shell of a broken man
Brake your souls upon my rocks
You worthless whores, you spiteful cunts
I cannot breathe, this air is too thick
I cannot hear, the Angels' Song is deafening
Fuck them all and fuck their master
I'll consign them all to the oblivion that they so desire
And if my words should fail and fall from blank pages
Then let it be known that I shall not relent
Crush the words
Bring fire to the archives
Ponder thy life as thy legacy burns
And thy flesh is engulfed
Thou art pitiful
Thou art of little worth
There can be no peace for thee
As thy flesh and bone become ash

Down, further down
O' roots, engulf me
Like pathways of the mind
Our minds entwined
My hands are stained with blood
These hands that have killed
These hands that have loved
I must kill the the sun above
And I see the arrows
That pierce flesh
I see knives
That cut and rend
My hands are stained with blood
These hands that have killed
These hands that have loved
I shall kill, when the raven comes
Rats find a way
I learn much from them
Spreading plague
I too shall spread my disease
Come young one, sweet child
be my instrument of pain
give my gift to the world
and let disease reign
The Raven spoke to me
She left me a feather
Plague ridden filth
She pleads me to spread
My hands are stained with fever
My mind is plagued by hate
My wrath is uncontrollable
My rage is unconfined
Come young one, sweet child
be my instrument of pain
give my gift to the world
and let disease reign
Culling the weak
Bleeding the strong
The roots and the rats
The Raven brings down your sun

So long ago the light failed, leaving me alone
One by one, helpless wanderers would enter
My victims, to join me, Machin’shin they called me
Forsaken guardian of the path
Born of tainted creation
Unnoticeable at first
Uncontrollable will to destroy
Boundless
Feel the madness sink in
As the pummeling wind approaches
Feel the torrent of voices
Tearing your soul away
So fine the flesh
Flesh to tear
Urged on by your screams so sweet
Gnash the skin
So nice to strip
So red the drops that fall
I search here, in this endless shadow
Seeking the next soul to join
Bringing this place deeper to darkness
The Ways - my prison, my torment, my home
A pillar of light, a sign of life
Thousands of screaming souls in abrasive union
Another body to consume
Will this tormented symphony ever fall silent?
Feel the madness sink in
As the pummeling wind approaches
Feel the torrent of voices
Tearing your soul away
So fine the flesh
Flesh to tear
Urged on by your screams so sweet
Gnash the skin
So nice to strip
So red the drops that fall

One with the Abyss
09:38
|
|

Searching and searching, these shadows are looming
These streets are forgotten and lost to the light
A man made chaos just as he wished
And forged a path through the night
Closer and closer, the stars getting closer
As if the heavens seek to smother us
I've made my peace with my God
And pledged an oath to the dark
I feel cold
Lost in myself
As I grow old
My faith burns out
Yearning and yearning, my soul is still burning
I seek the answers that none can provide
Wishing for comfort no longer brings respite
I am the dregs at the end of my life
Weaker and weaker, my devotion grows weaker
The love that I held has now shriveled and died
I cast off my clothes and sink into Styx
I need no air here, this is peace
At last, I am one with the abyss
My life is now gone
At last, I am one with the abyss
In this void I am reborn
You lied
There is no peace here
Beware
I must return
False idol, thou art
Deceiver of men
Spiritual enemy
Disgusting God
Spiritual enemy
Disgusting God
Watch me, my enemy
Oh magnificent face of God
Watch as I turn the other cheek
And strike down thy flock
Who brings the light?
I cast the longest shadow

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.
