upon
the third day after I die
I want you to bury me
at sky
undress my body
break my spine
beat the drums
and take me high
place me face-down
start the fire
shave my head bald
and sing my last lullaby
a vessel drained
on charnel ground
at dawn remained
for carrion birds bound
the vault is done
in tower of silence
the palest sun
protects its highness
vultures come flying
my debts are retired
my flesh, bones and spirit
given back to the sky
upon
the third day after I die
I want you to bury me
at sky

Kybele's Kiss

lustily reaching to grasp
shattered hopes through the sand
but the spell has been cast
kneel for her to command
those unable to rip
sibyl's horsehair armor
bow before deadly whip
or drown in lecherous ardor
iron taste through your teeth
withered lips growing pale
left to dry bridal wreath
sewn with blood to her veil
you, who failed to destroy
lover's ruthless attire
be forever condemned
to torment through desire
drops of blood from your lips
tightened skin feeling numb
left to die bridal wreath
to her sorrow succumb

свои губы разомкнув
бездыханные
ждет, уставившись во тьму,
гостья званая
упади во мглу
в пропасть жадную
и влюбись в нее
беспощадую
только тлен поймет
белый саван свяжет
только время им
к храму путь укажет
в час темнее тьмы
белым пеплом кроет
серый раб луны
упоенно воет
а ты склонись над ней
как над чашею
там в пустых глазах
пламя пляшет
не погибнет тень,
с неба падая,
но родится день,
а за ним и я

they can't speak,
but their deafening silence
is worth a thousand words
their hearts, they know no reliance
their battle is fought with no swords
their traces are washed by the rainfall
laments drown in meaningless guilt
we clean our conscience forgetful
pristine are the lives that we build
can you hear their cries?
can you break their gyves?
they forgive your heart
will you do your part?
we hide them behind their own shadows
forget they were ever alive
bury deep on the fields that we harrow
and go on with our lives undeprived
if only we'd count their daemons
to know when the number is reached
could sing them away to the beacon
from where they will nevermore breach
can you hear their cries?
can you break their gyves?
they forgive your heart
why don't you do your part?

you'll definitely come,
so why wait any longer?
I'm waiting here for you,
my heavy cross.
the lights I turned them off,
the door I left it open
so simple and so lovely,
bringing loss
so take whatever shape,
whatever guise you're craving
come through the poisoned steel,
destroying all alive
or like intruder crawl,
enticing with your fables
or through the sickness end
confiding fragile life.
I don't care anymore,
the river's blackened waters
they rise beneath the shine
of algid northern star
though indigo of eyes
of fearless sons and daughters
the trembling subsides,
the pain departs so far.

Il Corvo

lost on the road
feeding on mold
crawling foretold
with just one wing
bound to the ground
hunted down
away from this town
what will it bring?
savior's hand
promise unveiled
but he couldn't rend
the taut bow string
run through the rye
struggling to fly
there is no sky
with just one wing
those born to soar
to the clouds sworn
creeping will bury
death will it bring
with spirit bent
the raven falls
there's no amend
his hover
must come to an end

Absent Angels

fading night she came
distant deafening pain
howling, trying to break
free from rusty chains
heavy moon swallowed light
flooding darkness with grief
through the cover of night
crawling low hooded thief
no, no one knows
cause April won't tell
he's a ghost
heavens fell
his chords are burst
his path undone
he's a ghost, ghost now
his shadow's gone
empty bottles of wine
fighting battles of mine
now who needs to be cursed
so that you can fight yours?
no, no one knows
cause April won't tell
he's a ghost
heavens fell

Пропасть (Abyss)
03:58
|

twenty-one orphaned grams
they had nowhere to thrive
no confessor to damned,
and unholy thoughts shrive
contemplating escape
oh, that careless mind
that once wore mourning crêpe
but the two stars aligned
and you weighed my heart
that existed apart
for how much it could bear
till the worlds erupt
and we joined our hands
and two haunted hearts touched
to the abyss we fell
through the lashes clutched
and I cut my black hair
and I covered the lines
of the days when I dared
dancing barefoot on tines
so unquiet your breath
put at rest careless mind
torn in pieces the crêpe
when the two stars aligned

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track.

It's been ages since a band has truly blown my mind!! Honestly, I didn't know much about them until a few months ago, after their live performance was a revelation, they catapulted my mind to another world. Hope to see them live again soon and can't fucking wait some new stuff!

The Alabama singer-songwriter may have turned in his guitars for synths and drum machines, but his music is no less personal or incisive.
