Have you ever seen her?
Wearing black like a shroud
See her gazing with glazed eyes
Into a dying sun horizon
Have you ever heard her?
Screaming her lungs out
Like a raven flock shrieks
Piercing the ebony sky
Cries for a dying life
No words, only howls
Tears for a wasted life
No sweet, only salt
Death wish woman, you are
Surrounded by life, yet alone
Death wish woman, come here
Face your life, no escape
Death wish woman, stay close
Blind and deaf, muted
Hands roped on the back
Wait until this night dies
And get touched by light
Cries for a dying life
No words, only howls
Tears for a wasted life
No sweet, only salt
Death wish woman, you are
Surrounded by life, not alone
Death wish woman, stay here
Face your life, don’t escape
Death wish woman, stay close
Tormented soul - take a step
Choose your fate - open your eyes
Inhale life - Breathe
Death wish woman
Life or death – a fragile balance
Death wish woman
One final step
Or more to come

Mavradoxa - Maple
07:41
|

|
I’ve languished in a mausoleum
of memories beneath the moss
The bitter soil where we rest
has drained away the glow of flesh
Lead me into my suffering
Hollow me with your burning gaze
Leave me here to fade in the gloom
& then depart in silent rain
Your memory opened me
I slowly tore apart my wilted skin
The melody, like a funeral knell,
of your laughter lacerated me
Our epitaphs faded long ago
The ghost of me wanders endlessly
Shattered tombstones, blossoming woe
I can hardly recognize you
Every word is a shackle
Every moment is a scar
Every promise lies in ash
Six stitches became the mark of fangs
A maw flowed cardinal streams
Your aroma of maple, sweet,
still haunts this lifeless place
still haunts this lifeless place
still haunts this lifeless place…
Here beneath this moss & ruin
I rot in solitude
I’ve become the negative space
in a starless tapestry

I gaze into cosmic horizons
Across waves of astral seas
Beyond heaven realms
Is where I long to be
Long is the dark night
In which we’ve gathered
We search for a distant light
That birthed our fathers
I gaze into cosmic horizons
Across waves of astral seas
Beyond heaven realms
Secret celestial keys
From the edge of the universe
On the darkest of nights they came
Following the star-ways mapped long ago
Beyond the stars our home calls out to me
I gaze into cosmic horizons
Across waves of astral seas
Beyond heaven realms
Secret celestial keys
I gaze into cosmic horizons
Across waves of astral seas
Beyond heaven realms
Is where I long to be

first blush
taking all
and now the torches are growing old
under time worn and rock-ribbed fold
fissures spreading leprosy
hold fast
hammers are down reaching
and now the torches are growing old
a final chance
my ashen grave

Kval - Laho
10:32
|

|
Aamun kirkkain sarastus painaa kasvoni maata vasten
Sen odotan sulavan, kun kylmenee jo aika suven
Ennen aikojaan lahoaa, juurta ylemmäs kasva en
Kun viimein katseeni kurotan, katson yli valonsäteiden
Aamuaurinko sokaisee, en tietäin näe
Kun viimein palaan, laho on maa

Five stars of denial
And flickering dreams
In this cold slumber
And bleeding walls
I won't see.
Five angles of perfection
Of bodies aborted
And sights distorted
Through my lust and perversion
I won't see
Tonight I failed again
Tonight we slept again
In this fiery embrace
Where we were left.
Five days of cleansing
The night is drawing near.
Trying to find redemption
Get rid of all this dirt.
I won't tell…
Five minutes of pureness
Washing the days off.
Sewing self -inflicted wounds
While carrying the burden away.
Tonight I've failed again
(as the dusk's been kissing me)
Together we've slept my friends
(while stars have been watching us)
The light of creation
The morning of grace
The flowering of life
I won't see any of this.

red sun arise
vengeful god a new world
holy death declared
siege against the darkness
in the halls of oak
sinners swarm around us
spiritual disease
divine retribution
hunt the ones who turn
their backs away from god
pain will move their tongues
around the aching staff of christ
with lust their sisters burn
burn
granite hills watch us cure
vision
gods man
look into her eyes
as the flames wash her away
spiritual disease
divine retribution
hunt the ones who turn
their backs away from god
pain will move their tongues
around the aching staff of christ
i am the night sky
darkness
swallower, destroyer
hailed
fearless, worshipped
dance in the fire light
panic
oh my children
grey ones
you brought me with you
huntsman
alone i find you
my voice inside you
with poison in their minds
they ride across the land
spread fear, hatred
law comes, miserably
hateful bound by spellcraft
wolf tears at your throat
when its head is in your hands
jaws fall, eyes gleam
speak to god, crimsonly
hateful bound by spellcraft
step into the circle
your name erased from time
down the stair, breathless
niggurath, awaiting thee
hateful bound by spellcraft
unspeakable shadow
cast over time
blood ghoul unbound
wendigo
void cursed heart
bestial lover
black goat brother
she who is the harlot
she who is the whore
she who kissed the demon's ass
writhe in bile
beg for more
vile other, familiar mother
she who is the harlot
she who is the whore
she who kissed the demon's ass
spill the blood
break the door
i am the night sky
darkness
swallower, destroyer

I was surrounded by the snow, while the whole world slept unconscious.
As a pale white blanket lashed by winds, this empty land lives in silence unseen.
I woke up in a shiny crystal cavern, smelled the air as it scars my face. The closed ceiling as an icy casket, devoured and fed the beast within. I could not see, but rocks gathered around me, a deadly throne they seemed.
Tried and went outside, I remember felt the pale sun on my withered skin. As far as my sight could go only a vast white I saw.
Oh maiden of the snow,
Of desires and sorrows your soil's the witness, as the wicked beauty of your nakedness awakes me. Wonderfully numb to clear crystal skies that dress up your misty mountains.
Covered in a bear-skin's mantel I made it to the crest, not so far away from the ridgeline where ice melts into a dreamless ocean of evergreen meadows. And the sun's borrowed light dwelled all over the place. It was my gift. A sweet gift, with mournful eyes I tasted. Cause I know that everything ends right when it begins.
And now I sit at the last glimpse of sunshine, watching my rocky cave from above. A last thing I remember, that lone burning ray. The setting sun lighting up your face, and your eyes so cold.

The city on the hill
Calls me for herself
Wants to own me
Like all her empty souls
That live inside her walls
A digital slave horde
Eternal fires in code
The city breathes you in
The city is their skin
Human minds punished by a god
AI, forged to hate in human flaws
It will find you
The city on the hill
Wants me for herself
The city breathes me in
The city is my skin

strapped to this bed
can’t move at all
hear my last call
I’ll sleep when I am dead
all lined up outside my door
an host of black dogs lying on the floor
waiting for me to come out and play
that’s what you get, no place to stay

On the scale of choice
River curves and silence fear
Put all in one
What you call yourself
In my dreams
Blinding shining light
Ashes is my home
And in reflections - smoke
Bridges on fire
Heavy look and voice is gone
Comfortably numb
Rest is deep inside
In my dreams
Shining bright light
My house is not the same
Silt Flower is clean
Doors or walls, which of them have you built?
Anger, thirst, was grial bitter? Was it really worth it?
You, the stepenwolves, awaited by magic theatre
Who are you, what are you? Have you made a choice?
Remember your way! Remember your names.
Waves shall forgive the writing on sand
What do you see? In a shiver of mirror
Thousands of eyes

With every passing day
I’ve endured my mistakes
And cursed the failing light
That is should forever fade
I stand now in the ashes
Of a world become a tomb
Every thought, another grave
Interred with memories of you
Bury me in my agony
Drown me underneath all that I’ve lost
I’ve grown tired of the light
Of holding on to ghosts
And longing for lost days
I’m faced with my failures
When I close my eyes
I’ll pray for all of this to end
Lowered down
Into the waiting Earth
A veil of soil
Concealing your pain
One day
I can only pray
That time corrodes
This memory of you
Cast away
From this grey world
Into oblivion
And constellations
Take this Earth
From beneath me
“Iris!”
“Please, come back to me!”
“Come back to me!”
I’ve grown tired of the light
Of holding on to ghosts
And, longing for lost days
I’m faced with my failures
When I close my eyes
I’ll pray for all of this to end

Into the darkness we have drown
Into the sadness we call home
Hate and sorrow shape the horizon
We are the Weepers of the Land
In the silent night, you disappeared
In the cold distance, painful memories
With empty hands, and blood in my tears,
The choking guilt I have to bear.
Into the darkness we have drown
Into the sadness we call home
In the absence of your light
This hollow form I wear
Bereft of the hope a child brings
Into the empty night I stare
Hopeless in this land we call our own.
Knees in dirt for my failure I atone.
I could not hear your cries, or wipe your tears away.
I could not comfort you
I could not steal your pain
Into the darkness we have drown
Into the sadness we call home
Hate and sorrow shape the horizon
We are the Weepers of the Land
We are the Weepers of the Land (x4)

EXULANSIS - SEQUESTERED SYMPATHY
by EXULANSIS
supported by 206 fans who also own “The Depths of the Abyss Knows No Bounds [Hypnotic Dirge Compilation 2019]”
Sorrowful indeed. Utterly beautiful blackened doom metal with melody that draws out a cathartic release. Its works like these that have me believe what Schopenhauer said about music was true, that it speaks truth to what is at our most core.

THE ARROWS OF OUR WAYS
by Izthmi
supported by 197 fans who also own “The Depths of the Abyss Knows No Bounds [Hypnotic Dirge Compilation 2019]”
I'm not into black metal. But i dig this. Fantastic lyrics, an interesting cover, real good musicians. Their music rather proves that the band has a certain talent for songwriting - but without ever being fenced in by traditional, "classic" forms. outstanding

A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen.
