lyrics

She’s watching the sea with steady eyes of a roamer.
Abandoned forevermore a spirit of the shore.
Enchanting restless waters, whose depths enshrined her life.
Cold and petrified.
She’s searching the truth she’ll never know.
In a cadence of forgetfulness.
A damnatory weakness of her failure.

Behind the veil of haze a wraith I see
Shining grey.
A formless figure of endless suffering.
A transparent shell of human being.
Then spilled a tear.

The girl cried loud
The name of the beloved one,
Who waited on the shore that day
With all hopes wrecked and swept away.
And then she sighed again,
Revealed to me a secret
Of my end.

You blind my eyes. I can’t see
Your leaden light unto me.

This unbearable numb pain in my ears.
A haunting voice I cannot resist.
It terrors my mind.
I just cannot reach your words behind.
Unconscious.
I step into water.

While soft winds die down,
The cold water sun I see.
Are you a ghost of the leaden light shining?
Your words are full of sense, but I can’t hear you.
While soft winds die down…

A Mother Named Death
by Evadne

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Leaden Ghost”

I am a sucker for a bloody good melody - for a tune that plays to my soul and growls that fit nicely over the top. Evadne have really got something here that works beautifully. This has been the only genre of music that has sung directly to me for over five years now and Evadne is the perfect example of what I love the most. Andy

Epigrammata

Very lush expansive doom, lots of different arrangements and choral vocals, slow and sad and full of regret. Extremely high quality stuff. Sounds like a life’s work. Also quite heavy. Jono Schneider
