Mother
Never forgive them
Never forget them
Keep your arms closed
And open their eyes
Open their minds
And fall
You can try to love them
Like they’ll never do
No sleep. No Rest.
Just tears, blood and sweat
There is no hope around
Tell me why
There is no hope around
Tell me
Why?

Abyssal

No more struggle, this is my last breath
I’m gazing the stars, smiling to my dying face
maybe the despair is deeper than death
I will find the answer by hitting the abyss
So please… let me drown in peace
All i want is to swim in my dreams So please… let me drown in peace The silence of depths will never betray me
Let me drown
Let me drown (In the sea of my desperation)
I’m sinking (Detached from all expectations)
Descending (Lower and lower I…)
Just go down !
‘cause All I am is anger, trapped in denial
How such small waves could make so violent tides?
Your deafening voices, sharper than my own spiral
of doubts push me to hide myself from the skies
In the limbo of my soul, I’m sure, I will be alone

Sailor's lament
02:51
|

I can see you in any aimless wave,
Haunting the lines that the sky draw
Grey shapes and starving seagulls
Will this journey ever end?
This plague is mine and it can't be fixed by liquid fire
In every tide, shadows just grow on what I leave behind
this fate is a lure and, as blurred as they are,
those choices will crawl back away from you
this fate is a lure and as weak as they are
they'll survive away from you and drown away from you
And there is no shore I can reach, only sunless realms beyond the unknown
A sinking ship for a sunken crown
No lights on this angry sea
But I know it drives me away
You was the only burden I can't carry with me
You was the only purpose I always seek
You're gone from my sight
Even if I still feel you at my side
But it's too late now
Too late to complain
To understand how
How to get rid of this pain

Call of sirens
06:48
|

|
An ocean without waves
Quietness shelter for deepest storms
Sweet whispers keep telling her
To comeback home
But anything came with a price
And she still saw no light away
There is no answer to the horizon
Even with a faithfull heart
This is a life founded on prayers
A life wasted in vain
But anything came with a price
And she still saw no light away
And this is how she will stay
In this peacefull embrace of darkness
No more thoughts no more baits (a call of sirens)
Now she can hear the call of sirens
"I'll carry your burden away
And give you an anchor in a better place"
They said something brighter shine
Behind the darkest clouds (it's a lie)
You thought those songs will bring you home (it's still a lie)
But now, you're mine
All daughters pay for their father's crimes
Mine will keep your weakness alive

Facing defeat
04:48
|

|
I was wandering in the space of time,
Dizziness offering itself to my soul,
And drowning its mind into shadows, in mourning for a lost being.
I was wandering in the space of time.
My visions becoming pale.
Its light slightly persisted as an unceasing grief.
But I had to pass through this wall of memories,
Haunted by a harmful and out of control madness.
Passed times and wilted skin,
Unconsciousness in the pure state.
I questioned my soul to reach the defeatist conclusion:
Nothing's waiting, everything's overtaking, including escaped dreams.
I leave myself to hide the truth on the defeat of mind.
The lie.
Cure against instinct.
The night, with its hallucinated nightmares, reveals the pure nature.
But it must be accepted, as disastrous as it is,
When finally, the loss of a loved being leads to the failure of a played character,
Disguising himself and hoping to reach bliss and rest, through a game piteously played.
I wander now in the space of time, which is still running away.
The shameless selfishness of someones reverberates through out the others.
The worst thing being still leaving one’strue self.
The worst remaining at Ours.
Defeat.

Beat to quarters for all sailors
This universal ship is cursed
Stop your port of call
We are about to fall
Under the weight of the needs of all
Beat to retreat
Abandon this ship
The rudder no long we can’t keep
The lighthouse of reason is too far
By dint of sailing
We end in drowning
Overflow… This convict ship
Overboard… Before becomes a wreck
Overbalance… The boat capsizing but we are still embarking
Overflow… This convict ship
Overboard… Before becomes a wreck
Overbalance… The boat capsizing but we are still embarking
We’re too many men
Too many people
The holds are full
Ready to explode
As long as we breed
As long as we thrive
With all our blood, sweat and tears…
We’ll be the flood
Throw your bottles
Send out your S.O.S
See your messages sinkin to human sea
All is lost, no god to save us
We’re sucked down into quick sand of our ending
We go straight to the bottom
We’re condemned to be
Engulfed, submerged under the tidal wave
This flood of our over-crowding
Overflow… This convict ship
Overboard… Before becomes a wreck
Overbalance… The boat capsizing but we are still embarking
Overflow… This convict ship
Overboard… Before becomes a wreck
Overbalance… The boat capsizing but we are still embarking

Last breath
04:18
|

|
Into the fire of my soul
I built the empire of my fall
Made of ashes of my life
On an earth where no sunshines
'Cause my will is like porcelain
Fragile and cold
I searched for a reason (in vain)
To follow this angel
And it dragged me to hell.
Find the way
It's not a place to stay
Follow the sound of deadly souls
And come, forget your conscience.
Step by step, through the darkness
Above the reason, facing the demon
Trying to escape the deepness of myself...
Am I still alive ?
Shaking
Between the light
And the divide
Now, I feel the void
Flowing
Through me, ignite
Traces of the past
Could I be at peace
Just one more time ?
Do I have to betorn
To be my own salvation ?
Should I see the seas
Just one last time ?
At my last breath
My misty soul shall never rest.

Nine circles
04:55
|

|
Did my world bleed enough to forgive my actions
Did I walk enough through shadows to any redemption
They're keeping me here but I can't be saved
An half life left on the sideway
And in my name you'll have to carry on
No signs needed to lead the road
Those streets we already followed
Those fears who always mean more than hopes
Have we cursed the sun for fleeing as we do
Only cold silences to my prayers, no feelings and I knew
Those regrets will never leave
You were supposed to be a light leading me
Through ghosts of a violent past
A lack of noises can't be the only path
To drag all this pain out of me
So just keep walking and don't look back again
Dire nights will never end you have to come back home
There are no monsters here but yours
Chimera made of fur and remorses
Wretched faces and desillusions
Fragrances of wasted passions
Join your hands in a last one sensation
You can wait after the skies but clouds will never answer
When all will be said and done, face off your own failure
You're not the only one, just a drop in seas
One more word in this ocean of faded stories
Too low for justice and too slow for the grace
They said we deserve happiness but have we reach the deepest
We make our own curse following a narcissistic quest
feeling barely alive is still a dead end
After the storm
passion might literally be all we have
And in those circles
You will not bring me back
I will be free at last

Floating down the waves
Cold and silent
I will stay here
Where your arms end (in your warm hands)

Above the surface
05:13
|
|||
|
As the snow slowly falls from the sky
The light icy breeze prevents iced up flakes' way to the ground.
Patiently, the raging ocean awakes its greedy arms
To swallow its next beverage.
Then I contemplated passed great times.
I pictured memories on a material wind.
Not waiting for anything eternal.
I went on with my fall, seeking senses to this darkness.
Formerly born from chaos, bright, firm and perfect,
But long is the way to crystallize,
I began my history, weak-minded.
Passing time wisdom, I escaped to an unclear future,
More and more disastrous and solitary.
Shame, rage and despair.
Sea spray caressed my face while I was admiring the horizon,
Aging shaping by floating in time,
As a misty dream sneakily comes at bedtime.
The surface and I will surely melt together.
As I slowly melt, I slowly age.
As long as I was falling, living had a sense.
There, those for whom no light is the only world now
Were waiting for the next deceived one,
To form with it a vast expanse of dismal quietness.
Alone. Quietly tired by this deceitful sham.
Crash to the surface.
Sink into the abyss.
Roam forever and wherever, into the chaos of deep mounts;
Maybe a nexttrickery?
I know now the consistency of the soul, unable to alert abandoned ones.
Horrified by the monstrosity of the end,
I rest now, finally stirred by scum floods.

Life has gone on long enough

supported by 9 fans who also own “Echoes From Silent Shores”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

Very late to this, but I'm glad I found it. The very brand of melodic death/doom I savor so much. Soaring leads, haunting riffs, and melancholic vocals. Everything I hold dearest in music.
