A Dying Light

There was a flame somewhere dark
A dim light of hope that wished to last
At its end it knew dark is right
The fade of existence
The perspective of a new dawn
Cold fear cries silent tears
Broken hope leaves anger thoughts
All the moments I left behind
Now come as loss and despair
The empty solitude
Reminds you that it’s gone
Rage against the dying of the light
Just rage tearing you up inside
Shattered, gone, holed up in myself
Timeless place between flesh and bone
At the pain we find the reason
An answer to fate
The empty solitude
Reminds you that it’s gone
Rage against the dying of the light
Just rage tearing you up inside
The empty solitude
Has showed me who I am
Rage against all I’ve lost
Just rage is what I’ve become

A Cold Unnamed Fear

She came to me
She stood on the cliff
She looked silent and pale
Hearing the furious sea
Life is just a drop in time
The tides and the waves are forever
Death moved us away
And death brought us together
Again
She was void of emotions
Only regrets
She carried my seed
And a cold unnamed fear
Life is just a drop in time
The tides and the waves are forever
Death moved us away
And death brought us together
Again
Sad child of despair
Growing to a queen
She took her last breath
And walked into the water
She just said my name
She just said my name
And she became one with the ocean
Life is just a drop in time
The tides and the waves are forever
Death moved us away
And death brought us together
Again
She said my name
And she became one with the ocean

The moon shows the calm of the sea
A quiet reflection of hope over me
The wet cold heals the invisible scars
That still bleed inside
The crow awaits
For a chance to strike
Following the sun desires
By a single shot a hunter was hunted
Losing his bright
Rising his hand he tried to achieve the sky
To join the stars
Falling to the oceans depths
Facing the roughness of the death
A water abyss of void and painless dream
Numb my soul
Mercy of a Father
Reignite a light
And let it guide the night
By a single shot a hunter was hunted
Losing his bright
Rising his hand he tried to achieve the sky
To join the stars

When the morning came
There was no hope
There was no joy
When the morning came
The sun was white
Behind the clouds
When the morning came
There were no smiles
No caring words
Everything was lost
When the morning came
When the morning came
Everything was cold
Everything was grey
When the morning came
We were all alone
Abandoned and stray
When the morning came
Mankind left its place
In this shattered throne
The day after the end
When the morning came
The Earth is silent
Strangely peaceful
A heavy calm
After the storm
Among the grass
The winds blow gently
The last breath of a dying world
When the morning came
The ancients took
What’s theirs by right
When the morning came
We embraced fear
To guide our steps
When the morning came
The air was strange
Water was sour
Everything was lost
The day after the end
When the morning came

Another day of calm and cold in this ship
waiting for a sign of mercy of our god
Meanwhile the ice bright like a silver knife
Behind the mist I suppose I see something dark
A cyclopean stone with many lights like stars
I can feel myself drowning
I’m still dreaming, I know
but i have to go
In my soul I feel the void is coming
easing my fear and clouding my mind
Through Abyss my lord is calling
with whispers about the echoes of the past
Now I can see the world around me
The clarity of knowledge
Show me the emptiness of my existence
In my soul I feel the void is coming
easing my fear and clouding my mind
Through Abyss my lord is calling
with whispers about the echoes of the past
In my soul I feel the void is coming
easing my fear and clouding my mind
Through Abyss my lord is calling
with whispers about the echoes of the past

The rain became the shroud
That hide us from the sun
Your loss painted that winter morning
Like a picture
Of white skies and grey lands
Of white skies and grey lands
No farewell, no last words
Only the taste of the wine
As I carry your coffin
I still hear your voice
I lead the black procession
I take you to the stone
You teach me how to dance
To the tune of the vultures
If nothing stays forever
If all we love just fades away
Why should we try, why should we pray
To a deaf god of nothingness
A cold winter morning feast
Clothes of ashes, glasses of sand
Then you taught me how to dance
To the song of the vultures
If nothing stays forever
If all we love just fades away
Why should we try, why should we pray
To a deaf god of nothingness
The rain became a shroud
A picture
Of white skies and grey lands
Of white skies and grey lands

supported by 23 fans who also own “The Earth Is Silent”
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.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 20 fans who also own “The Earth Is Silent”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

The album as a whole is great, but the title track is phenomenal--one of the best melodic metal songs I've ever heard. 和美's ethereal voice is the perfect complement to vvildr's growling vocals and masterful instrumentation. More, please!

Love Exchange Failure

When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music.
