lyrics
Es schneibt heid scho in gonzen Tåg und a da See der is scho gfroan
Und es valafft sie es letzte Joa beherzt wia de Zeit, in Spuren im Schnee
Wos fua uns liegt werma nia dafrogn, geschweige denn fruah gnuag wissn
Es hod do nix in dera Wödt Bestånd, und auf d‘ Ebbe foign imma de Fluten
Obn in de Berg, do gspia I mit jedem Schritt de Freiheit
Des mocht jeden no so kurzen Moment zu oam der wos ewig währt
Durt gspia I de Vasöhnlichkeit des Regens, in Wind, und a de Kötn
Durt werd I oans mim Moment, und bin boid endlich wieda dahoam
I hob nia genau gwusst wieso, einfoch nur, dass jetz donn boid soweit sei muas
De Zeit hod meine Wunden ned g’heilt, ma de Zuvasicht owa donn doch iangwia g‘raubt
So bin I bis ans Ende da Wöd zogn um vo dem Leben Åbschied z’nemma
Eich olle leb woi zan sogn, und eich endlich vagessen z’kenna
Da triste Herbst, er konns bezeign, wia da verschneite Woid es letzte Joa
Wirft augenblicklich Schåtten auf des wos woa und auf des wos no kimbd
Legt lieblos Schluchten üwa Schluchten und schaufit ma jedes Joa a neies Grob
Nua wü I unerbittlich weidalebn, bis I endlich in Mond vo da ondern Seitn da Wödt gseng hob
Da Mensch so hoitlos und unbeständig vergisst nur oi zu schnö
Er wird immer wieda ois gem und doch wiads niemois reichn
Wei es dauert fost a gånzes Lebn bis ma uns endlich zomg’wochsn hom
Und erreichen unsa Zenit doch imma erst mit unsam letzten Atemzug
Wia existiern oft mehr, ois das ma wirkli lebn
Und so ziang de Tåg vorbei, ois waratns nur Stund‘
Wia vatogn de wichtigen Sochn joaein, joaaus auf muang
Bis ma iangwonn z’oid woan san, z’oid… …und koit
z’oid… …und koit
Da triste Herbst, er konns bezeign, wia da verschneite Woid es letzte Joa
Wirft augenblicklich Schåtten auf des wos woa und auf des wos no kimbd
Legt lieblos Schluchten üwa Schluchten und schaufit ma jedes Joa a neies Grob
Nua wü I unerbittlich weidalebn, bis I endlich in Mond vo da ondern Seitn da Wödt gseng hob
English:
ADVENT
It’s been snowing since this morning, the lake’s already frozen
And the last year passes off feisty like traces in snow
We won’t know what future brings until it happens
Nothing in this world lasts forever, ebb is always followed by flow
Up in the mountains I feel freedom with every step I take
This turns every moment to one that lasts eternally
I feel the forgiveness of the rain, the wind and its coldness
I become one with the moment, so I’m not far away from home
I never really knew what or why, just that something must happen
Time did never heal my wounds, only robbed my confidence
That’s why I travelled to the back of beyond, to wave this life goodbye
Say farewell to all of you, to leave it all behind
Somber autumn will witness, as the snowy woods bear the last year
Throws only shadows on what once was and what will become
Lays void over void, digs me a new grave every year
But I will live relentlessly until the day I saw the moon from the other end of the world
Mankind so abandoned and volatile forgets so easily
He will give it all and every time, but it will never be enough
Cause it nearly takes a lifetime to become the one you want to be
We reach our zenith just the day we die
We exist more, than we really live
And so days pass like hours
We adjourn the important things year in and year out
Until we got too old, old and cold
Somber autumn will witness, as the snowy woods bear the last year
Throws only shadows on what once was and what will become
Lays void over void, digs me a new grave every year
But I will live relentlessly until the day I saw the moon from the other end of the world
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 edoerfler
Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
A true melancholic black metal masterpiece! Awesome mix of black metal and melodic and slow elements, Scherben is my favorite on this record. 15 minutes, sit down and take it in. lensdu
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
An outstanding slab of atmospheric black metal, “Sisyphus” cannily blends texture and terror for a gripping final product. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2021
With their deviant kind of Black Metal, White Ward are far away from mediocre. If you’re looking for something different and sophisticated try these guys! You won‘t be disappointed! Sælzer Bub
