TRANCE I: THE TREE

Show me where those mountains meet the sun
Show me where those whispers are coming from
Guide me to the place that you call home
Guide me to the place where I belong
Show us where those mountains meet the sun
Show us where those whispers are coming from
Guide us to the place that you call home
Guide us to the place where we belong
In the shadow of a tree as old as time
where rivers lay to rest and oceans dry
A voice without a source, without a name
allays my pain that grew in the dark of my soul and drove me insane!
The weight of the past comes undone by unspeakable force
The self transcends
my cure found in blistering storms
I leave this place far behind
a world of manipulation
where empty words and lifeless eyes
feed our degeneration!
Just close your eyes and take my hand
follow your heart!
In the shadow of a tree as old as time
where rivers lay to rest and oceans dry
A voice without a source, without a name
allays my pain that grew in the dark of my soul and drove me insane!

TRANCE II: RELICS

The sounds of whispers in the wind reclaim their long gone reign
The songs of spirits in the air return to life
I close my eyes to see the unseen, see the realms they hide
I have learned that silence bears the wisdom of our time
The secrets of integrity lie beyond the spoken word
In the twilight of dawn
old souls are dancing 'till the morning sun
They opened their circles,
invited are the chosen ones.
Set yourself free, open your heart
release the burden that tore you apart
Break the chains of your misery
in perpetuaty.
The signs of shadows in the flames tell of yet unknown tales
Sparks in the dark reveal their paintings in the sky
I feel the presence of a force that dwells in hearts and minds
My time has come to leave this world behind
I can feel myself transcending
In trance-like silence my soul flies
I see my energies ascending
Towards the endless open skies

TRANCE III: ALIVE
07:25

I saw a light
Deep at night
Down by the riverside
In search for answers
I fought against the tide
I lost myself
Down by the riverside
All hope was gone
Until I felt that I wasn't alone!
I feel alive
I called darkness my home
Shadows my friends
Fear was my closest companion
I saw the white in the eyes of demons
Within the deepest tracts of my soul!
Disconnected from the roots of the universe
Deaf to the pulse of the earth
Hope was a dream for the living
And death a dream of my own!
Now I see the light
Down by the riverside
It feels familiar, yet unknown to the eye
It speaks to me, wordless yet so clear
It speaks through me
And saves me from my fear!
I am alive!

TRANCE IV: NEMESIS

Mother of justice
please hold my hand
In submissive reverence
I bow my head
Oh mother of vengeance
forgive my flaws
Forgive my nescience
hear my confession, my remorse!
Blind and motionless
without a voice
Illusive wellness
Illusive choices
With eyes wide open
I did not see
With my heart broken
I did not breath
Lead me out of darkness
Release me from this madness
I confess my weakness
To redesign my consciousness
I'll turn my decline into forces of unbound creation
my will - my power - my strength
fuels my desire to become
the one I was meant to be the one I was afraid to be!
I'll pay for my faults pay the price for bygone addictions
my failures, my doubts and my flaws
The search for forgiveness consumed my mind,
a poisonous path that I leave behind!
Mother of justice
please hold my hand
In submissive reverence
I bow my head
Oh mother of vengeance
forgive my flaws
Forgive my nescience
hear my confession, my remorse!

TRANCE V: CERULEAN SUN
06:17
|

At my darkest I gaze at the stars
Until the sky calls my name!
A feverish trance asks my mind for a dance
Between the dead and the living
Down on my knees I aim at my chance
To prove that this is not the end yet just the beginning!
You feared darkness, so I fan the flame!
You cursed silence, so come and hear my scream!
You feared the unknown, the one you could become!
You cursed the night, so let me be your sun!
True light shines deep within.
We are its source and enemy alike.
A blaze in the eye speaks beyond language,
a gleaming hope for the ones led astray!
I once feared darkness but you shared your flame,
without a word I found liberty
I once cursed silence but you made me tame
all doubts and voices in my head, the content of my elegies!

Open eyes
Open minds
Open hearts in darkest times
Only fear
Only death
Only greed is what is left
Open eyes
Open minds
Open hearts in darkest times
Dare to see
Dare to feel
Dare to follow me!
While the pulse of the earth drowns in the poisonous noise of manmade heritage, we are still slaves of those who built such destructive reality on our shoulders, yet with our silent support. A reality uprooted, isolated and disconnected from our surrounds.
But arrogance, greed and the shameless ability to build empires on corpse-strewn ash does not exclude us from the laws and forces of nature. Mother nature doesn't forget. Mother nature doesn't forgive. In harmony we will harvest our seeds. In harmony we must return what was never ours. We are merely guests at this magical place; and that which was there long before us will also witness our departure.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
