The Watcher

Moments of weakness, and fear
Blackouts that invade the stream of time.
Flashes of pain and misery
Filled with thousands of question marks
That cannot be undone.
I am the watcher-
Watching from the inside to hell
Playing games with reality
Pretending to be in control.
The prophecies of rage come to rest
Giving place to the tide of satisfaction.
Reality or illusion,
The loss of control
We are only pawns in the hand of the creator.
In the eyes of the beholder lies the truth
Nothing can be erased by night or day
The path of the righteous slowly curves
As we walk to the edge of time
Where the skies finally turn to grey.

The Last Drops of Rain

The end of days. the end of hope
Crawling back to the earth.
Captured flashes of forsaken lives
Close your eyes and feel the end.
Feel the last drops of rain.
The circle has stopped its tedious movement
Petals are torn, green turns black,
The ground turns to ashes that rise like dust.
Immortal mountains hide broken bones
Last waves break onto the shores.
The one who gave life shall take it away
None is worthy, none will remain
The sound of a storming apocalypse
The rage of destruction and death,
Close the book and take your last breath.
In the beginning there was nothing,
Nothing shall be placed where once I smiled.
In the end only memories scattered in the wind
Kill all hope, destroy and devour
The door to humanity is finally shut.
Let there be no light! said the morning star.

Abandoned in a world of confusion
I dare not open my eyes.
With every breath – crawls the pain,
eating me alive.
Hatred consumes me.
The helpless notion of life slipping away.
Counting the days of the rest of my life,
knowing the dark shadows await.
I was neither an angel, nor a sinner had I become.
Plain life, astonishing mind,
curiosity that killed the cat.
Too many questions that were left without an answer.
Now I am paying the price by feeding my cancer.
The last of my moments I spent in a room.
My eyes are shut, but the pain is no more.
Only the stream of drugs maintains my broken being.
I fear my death, but time has run out,
The dark shadows take over the night.
I feel the warmth of the living,
As I fall into the last place I would be.
I rest with no peace.
Darkness is my friend.
All that I love are shedding a tear,
whispering words I cannot hear.
Cold dirt is covering my face.
The sound of insects invaded my ears.
I am left alone, lying in the earth
"even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"

Beyond the Abyss
08:05

|

Depths of black and blue
The sky touches the gentle edges of cold water
Swirling memories of ancient times
Drown the fear and uncertainty
Indifferent creatures swim in the unknown
Leaving trails of treason and defeat
Uncharted footsteps of madness and dispute
Lead to the dark door.
The great evil beyond the abyss
Plots and conspires through the essence of time
A great wave of death and extinction
Shall consume all that remains
In the beginning of time
The great ashes formed its being
Born out of blood and misery
Preyed on the weak and the forgotten
It cannot be stopped
Its mind is set
Let the quest of disaster begin
The end is here
Rises from the void of coldness
Erasing all dreams and silent prayers
Painting the world with its blackened brush...

A Howl of Sorrow
06:42
|
|

Cold breeze of winter morning
A single shot cut through the air
A helpless gaze of dead eyes shattered his world
His heart breaks to countless pieces
He begs the dead to bring back his love
So many days of undying emotions
The smell of first breath and last
His torn soul dances in a red circle of rage
He runs through the empty path of his life
Looking for revenge
His anger drives him to the edge of the world
Looking for comfort and peace
His other half seized to exist
There will be no other!
He drags his forsaken hope back in defeat
Tears blind his eyes
He collects his memories like drops of joy
He cannot recall her smell anymore
Life is colorless without her soul
A single howl tears the stars
A lonely wolf stands and mourns
The breath of lovers freezes as they hear his call
A single shot that ended it all….

The Last of The Horsemen
04:54
|
|
||
|
In the beginning there was darkness.
Darkness shall rule.
The unclean spirit, the shadow of death
Spreads his poison and unleashes his rage.
Children burn into red flames
Tears are shed and scorch the earth
Claws of ice that hold lost souls
Bitter taste of ending dreams
I am the last of the horsemen
Foreseeing distraction and plague
No words shall follow, no light
I am the dawn- bringer of the end

The End of All Ends
09:23
|
|
||
|
The warmth of the morning
Brings quiet words
The end of all ends
Calls for fate.
I crumble from inside
Letting my thoughts die
Ashes to ashes
Bone to dust
The end of all ends
Leaving me last
I walk alone
The path is unknown
The end not chosen
Here, at the gates of forever

A masterpiece of disquieting and at times tranquil mood without cutting the vicious black metal touches. There's this powerful narrative that stands up behind each track and amplifies the whole atmosphere. It burns and it's beautiful.

"Metal can be beautiful" is something I often tell people who aren't much for fans of it and here again the saying is entirely true. This album is beautiful.

This is one of the best blackgaze albums I've heard in the past decade. Definitely a refreshing take on a genre that has been going stagnant.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard...
