English:
DISTRESS
I just came here to lull you to your sleep a last time
I just came here to tell you how wrong you were all the time
I just came here because I promised you so back in the days
I just came here to tell you farewell for the last time
I hope it’s not too late to pay you a courtesy visit
I hope I wasn’t gone too long, but I wouldn’t wonder
I hope you didn’t believe I have left you willfully
And I hope so hard, one day I’ll fall asleep again
I’m just here to hold eternal deathwatch
I’m just here because you’d do so in reverse
I’m just here to see all their speechless faces
I’m just here to take a look at the graves we’ve dug
I’m just a bit scared I was gone for too long
I’m just a bit scared I could have prevented this if I had been here
I’m just a bit scared that everybody knew but didn’t react
I’m just a bit scared you could still live if I had noticed
Let me carry your pain, the grief and bear the burden
Let me carry all this, you bore it way too long
Let me tell you about a time, that was short but way more reckless
Let me just be your friend, just for one, very last time
They all believe that one life isn’t sufficient, but the way I live mine is surely abundant enough
They all believe they know the right way, but haven’t lived for one single day
They all believe they found the answer to a question that was not even asked
They all believe their lives are way too short, but in the way we lived them…
…these few years were totally adequate
I’m just here to hold eternal deathwatch
I’m just here because you’d do so in reverse
I’m just here to see all their speechless faces
I’m just here to take a look at the graves we’ve dug
Go home my friend, now it’s really time to say goodbye
Go home my friend, no light will illume your shadow today
Go home my friend, let us carry you to your grave now
Go home my friend, I hope the farewell doesn’t last too long
The subtle melancholic atmosphere created by M.S. and J.J. is some of the best atmospheric story telling i have ever heard in music and there is a reason this album is my favorite. Shores of Eternity
The excellent French metal band Epectase return with another brain-bender, offering an almost proggy take on black metal fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2022
Austrian one-man project atmospheric post-black metal album Lebensnehmer follows the success of "Todbringer", adding here a bit more mournful and melancholic touch. Deep, immersive experience with amazing melodies and guitar work! sachavonkarl74
