lyrics
De Einsomkeit is nix für de Feigen, des homa scho vo Kind auf g‘wusst
Es alloa sei vertrogt ned a jeder, ma nährt so nur de Schimär von da gemeinsomen Zeit
Sie hod uns flügellahm und schweigsom gmocht, san jetzt a einsom unta Leit
Und woatn do im Stün auf de verlorenen Tåg, de so nie wieder kema wernd
Da Tod woa gestern wieda do und hod ma onschauliche G’schenke brocht
In Bodn vua mir tiafrot g‘farbt und stott de Äpfi hengan jetz Kinda vo de Bam
In da Nåcht wird’s wieder koit drausd und es gib nix mehr wo ma sie vasteckn ko
Iangwonn gibs hoid a koa zruck mehr vo dem Wahnsinn, wei de letzte Zech, de zoit G‘votta Tod
Wos sogt de Uhr mei Freind? Glabst is endlich Zeit das ma ham geh kenan?
Oda soi ma no im Stün woatn auf de verlorenen Tåg, de so nie wieder kem wernd?
I ko kaum mehr no steh, scho goanimma kloa denkn, noch g’füht zehn Floschn Wein
Owa um ma jemois zu vazeihn, bin I donn owa do no immer vü z’nüchtern
I hob hoid immer glabt I ko den Groi, des tiafe Nichts in mir so iangwia ertränken
Nur hob I so auf de Oat den Brånd und seine sengendn Flåmmen nur g‘nährt
I hob ma ned oi z’vü erwoat, nur das mi des Leben z‘reisst donn doch eha ned
Drum sog mas Tod: Wos is es Nichts?
„Es Nichts is de Leere de bleibt“
Wos sogt de Uhr mei Freind? Glabst is endlich Zeit das ma ham geh kenan?
Oda soi ma no im Stün woatn auf de verlorenen Tåg, de so nie wieder kem wernd?
I ko kaum mehr no steh, scho goanimma kloa denkn, noch g’füht zehn Floschn Wein
Owa um da jemois zu vazeihn, bin I donn owa do no immer vü z’nüchtern
Wei donn wonn du di niederlegst, lieg I woch und erlieg hechstens no meine Gedånkn
De mi iangwonn zum Wahnsinn treim, und mi niemois wieda schlofn lossn
Wos soi I no sogn? Wia soit I a schlofn wonn a de Wödt nia zur Ruah kumbd?!
Und mi fortwährend umtreibt, bis I a söbst de erdrückendste Taubheit iangwonn nimma gspia
Nur Tod, wonnst eh ned vua kopt host dasd so schnö wieda zruck kummst
Warum nimmst donn ned a des Nichts und de Leere in mir einfåch mit mit dir?
Kum gib ma d‘ Hond G’votta, I zoag da in Weg zur nextn finstan Spelunken
Oan homma imma no trunken, nua de nexte Zech, de zoist jetzt du!

Solitude is nothing for cowards, we’ve known this since we were kids
Being alone is not liked by everybody, you just nurture the chimera of togetherness
It made us ailing and tight-lipped and we are now still lonely when we’re around others
Let us wait in silence for the lost days, that will never ever return
Death visited me again yesterday, he brought me descriptive presents
He dyed the floor in front of me in bloody red, and instead of apples, now children hang from the trees
In the night it’s getting cold outside, and there are no places left to hide
One day there will be no way back from this mayhem, as the last shot pays gaffer death
What’s the time my friend? Is it finally ok to leave for home?
Or should we once more sit for a while, waiting for the gone days to never return?
I can nearly stand and think straight after more than ten bottles of wine
But I am anyhow still way too sober to forgive myself
I’ve always thought I could drown this grudge, that endless void I’m filled with
But as I did, I somehow just feed its flames
I didn’t expect that much, but not that this life will tear me apart
So tell me death, what’s all this void inside me?
“This void is emptiness that lasts”
What’s the time my friend? Is it finally ok to leave for home?
Or should we once more sit for a while, waiting for the gone days to never return?
I can nearly stand and think straight after more than felt ten bottles of wine
But I am anyhow still way too sober to forgive you
Cause when you fall asleep at night, I stay awake and just fall for my dark thoughts
That will make me go insane one day and will never let me sleep again
What shall I say more? How should I sleep when also the world never gets peace?
And is constantly worrying me until I won’t even feel the merest numbness
But death, as you never kept in mind to return as early as you promised
Why did you leave me behind with all this emptiness and void?
Come on, give me your hand gaffer, I show you the way to the next drinking hole,
There’s always a last last drink, but the next one is your treat…
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
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
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
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
