The Colossus

Curled up in its undertow
No light shall grace my skin again
A bleak outlook for years to come
Whispered prayers collected here,
never to be heard
Forgotten by the world
Left behind and reaching for the answers of the end
I am one, the colossus and the abyss
Shadow cast by a silver moon
Clouds creep over the pale rays
A stark reminder I'm alone
Glance behind me just to see,
there's nothing but the dark
Forgotten by the world
Left behind and reaching for the answers and the end
I am one, the colossus and the abyss
I have closed the gap between me and the damned
Found comfort in hell
Revel in darker shades of loneliness
Accept that I am a creature of harsh intent
Forgotten by the world
Left behind and reaching for the answers and the end
I am one, the colossus and the abyss
Marking down my name
Carve my final words
Forget about my face,
for I am now dust

Complacent Curse

Within the barren lands,
within the still of night
The comfort of a silent tongue
No speeches towards the light
The broken will I have,
accustomed to the grief
Trampled for so long,
but now its just a part of me
Let silence embrace us
There's nothing left to say
Let silence embrace us
We've parted way again
We are the martyrs of our world
No more marks of shame on us
Live life and feel its weight lift up
Once you see our time is done
Complacency is a curse
Relaxed but standing still
Complacency is a curse
Repeats itself again
Keep hold of your dignity, without the lie
Don't hold your truth in silence and masquerade in pain
We are alive
We are the martyrs of our world
No more marks of shame on us
Live life and feel its weight lift up
Once you see our time is done
Keep hold of your dignity, without the lie
Don't hold your truth in silence and masquerade in pain
We are alive
There's nothing to cling to, just stones and graves
So hold on to what little wills left
Avoid the light ahead, ignore the end
Within the barren lands,
within the still of night
The comfort of a silent tongue
No speeches towards the light
The broken will I have,
accustomed to the grief
Trampled for so long,
but now its just a part of me
Keep hold of your dignity, without the lie
Don't hold your truth in silence and masquerade in pain
We are alive
Stop short changing yourself
Don't fit into a mold
Don't close off to resistance or let others take control
You're staring down the grave,
but you're not the just yet
You are alive

Embrace the breath of autumn air
When the sun sets much sooner
We met summers end and dread the winter cold
As the leaves true colors start to show
Be still my beating heart
Now autumn takes its throne
Death creeping nearer,
new life waits to unfold
Return to earth, take a new form
Reclaim the Earth, for us this night sublime
When the spirits of the dead lurk among the living
Memories all left behind
We soon will have the night
We're walking through the night
We wander through the leaves
We linger in the air as if we are alive
To be among the living...
Tonight this is our home
Though we meet an end tonight,
we will not die alone

I will be forgotten
Most memories are...
No turning back from beyond
No solace for the dead
Clinging to a shattered world,
wont speak my name again
Oblivious of my return...
In a void without your hands to caress my tears away
Even without hearing the words
You know I am right here
Physically gone, spiritually lost
Within a different place
Never crossing to the other side
I'm physically gone, spiritually lost
What purpose holds the beyond
when your past just fades away?
Unflinching,immovable force
Clinging onto words that will never be uttered
I can not feel you with my own hands
as my longing grows
Even without hearing the words
You know I am right here
Physically gone, spiritually lost
Within a different place
Never crossing to the other side
I'm physically gone, spiritually lost
I wait in the darkness for you to sit with me here,
so we can both just rest
Crawling through the darkness and cold to sit with you dear,
so you wont mourn my death
But you are not alone,
and its not just me with you here
You've left me behind like the rest
You found comfort in someone else,
and I don't blame you for it
But still I can feel this regret
I sit among the shadows
and become the chill that hangs within the air
Oblivious of my return...
In a void without your hands to caress these tears away
Why can't I just let go
I will remain here, on my own
Now, I will remain here on my own

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...
