For My Beloved

Breathe no more,
Just a sigh of woe.
Confined to misery,
I roam forever
Depressed by the time
Streaming still,
My heart drowned deep
In its sombre waters
Bare gardens
Seem blooming for me,
Grass grows tall
Where she walks, so graceful
Bare gardens
Seemed blooming for me,
Grass grew tall
Where she walked, so graceful
Betrayal is raising
Dark seeds of my hatred,
Sincere emotions depraved
Enchanting temptation
Devoured her, deceived her,
Tormented primordial love
Days of joy and light –
My endless nights
Warm summer rains –
Cold waters in vain
She left me forsaken,
Abandoned heartbroken,
Bedeviled, compelled me to cry
I curse her, despise her,
I scorn her, condemn her,
Forgive though if ever I
Die...

Echoes of the Fall

These days
Drowse in silence
But when wind grows
Strong rains dill drop
”Sometimes I hear what can’t be heard in a summer evening threshold when fresh air luring with its crispness makes you stay outdoors for a while. For those who retain their sanity even when asleep and fear never waking up again the sounds are hidden. Thus the chain of events is foreseen and night replaces fading day. But the insane whose minds are possessed by enigmatic nymphs look through the silent evening regardless the clock tower dial and shiver and smell the scent of autumn soil moisture.”
What has been seen
Cannot be forgotten
Even in a dream
At the edge of Morning Dawn
I dive in Echoes of the Fall
Facing freezing storms
At the Gates of Winter
Morning brainstorm
Melts in vanity
Of another day
To dwell
As the slumber
Overtakes me
All those visions
Rise
Haunting memories
Enforce my agony
Entail spiritual
Decay
Colors blinding
Sounds deafening
No return
To life
Can’t ease my pain
Seek for relief
My dying hope
Begs from the nymphs
Nymphs of Wailing Wind
Here I fall asleep
All I have is yours
Just sing to me
Sing to me
Never fade away

Water Awakes MMXVIII
06:23

Come closer to my soul
Come whisper a melody
Of silent inner worlds
Till water awakes
Breathless streams are torn from the river
No lullaby to cry… Weeping eyes
Will remember
How she slept
River thaws snow
Breeds a new season
For the starving lands
Silent water awakes
Unseal your shell
Once frozen over
Break the chains of ice
And flood the Earth

Prometheus Unbound

No voice in me, no breath, no light
For many years I've been forgotten,
Alone on these cold stones
In endless rains, in moaning storms
Dying
No hope is here, no chance at all
Only the pain is real
That tearing beak opens my scars
For every man I bleed
Condemned to suffer
There is no redemption for me
Though in my fate I bare no shame
Could I've been more than a sinner
For the secret of light?
Could I've been more than a savior
For the secret of light?
"No change, no pause, no hope! Yet I endure.
I ask the Earth, have not the mountains felt?
I ask yon Heaven, the all-beholding Sun,
Has it not seen? The Sea, in storm or calm,
Heaven's ever-changing Shadow, spread below,
Have its deaf waves not heard my agony?
Ah me! alas, pain, pain ever, for ever!
The crawling glaciers pierce me with the spears
Of their moon-freezing crystals, the bright chains
Eat with their burning cold into my bones.
Heaven's wingèd hound, polluting from thy lips
His beak in poison not his own, tears up
My heart; and shapeless sights come wandering by..."
Sprawled on icy walls torn and anguished
All hope is gone, died with my sanity
Blackened my eyes, perished my memories
No last words I know drowned in delirium
Piercing wings cut through my neck as I groan in agony
Gasping for my last breath
Rise the Unbound!
Arise with mortal hordes,
The mighty one who brought the fierce fire,
Who tempers steel and gives the strength and anger,
Rise from the depths!
For thee we call!
Enrage the Earth and winds
To chase the storm of steel,
Engulf the air with caustic clouds
We call upon the Spirits!
Our trumpets blow across Patrida
To raise and spread the voice of flaming souls,
We hail and praise the Victory,
The birth of our Will!
As iron scorches the flesh and bones
And soil bleeds in ruins
We march through dust and ash
And call upon the Shadows
Rise the Unbound!
For the glory of the Destroyer,
For the grandeur of war,
Revive in the flames of death and destruction.
Our trumpets blow across Patrida
To raise and spread the voice of flaming souls,
We hail and praise the Victory,
The birth of our Will!
Incinerate the idolatry, burn the relics of gods
Now!
Follow me, stay by my side
And follow me towards the Gods.
No spell for heaven only the wrath is real,
For what I've done
And Gods concealed,
No man has ever seen
That gift upon my death will last forever!

Absolute perfection in its genre. If you are emotional like me, you will end up crying while listening to this album. It really touches the deepest strings of your heart and soul, a gem of doomy epicness, wonderful in every part. My most favourite 2014 album.

Vicious funeral doom from Portugal, “Ossadas” hammers away like a rain of comets, fiery & relentless.

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