As in comes the barge
his singular charge
to put the gears to work affording passage through
He wonders should he shirk his burden
as its time comes due
would the ferryman see his fate, see it through
Announce: "Show your hand, lock keeper
I fear
that your sloth won't make you divine.
So I pass your gate a sleeper, bliss seeker.
Do you count yourself so eager
while your thoughts breed dissonance time after time?"
[Aside:]
So what if I were
to turn this ferry to a pyre?
Allow all those on board expire
So what if I were
to turn this ferry to a pyre?
Allow all those on board expire
So what if I were
to turn this ferry to a pyre?
Allow all those on board
Lock keeper
Life stealer
Thoughts veer
and become clear
As bodies burn
moonlight turns
the ashes to clean air
Our innocent cargo
though the wind may far blow
realise their end in despair
Our ferryman
oar in hand
recalls what it is to live...
And given peace,
his soul deceased
finds room enough to forgive!

Fornoth recommends:
Groovy, heavy, expansive, great riffs - it turns out that an instrumental doom album is the perfect way to tell the story of a drought

A mix of black, death, thrash, folk and huge melodies

Roll one and play this loud. Very loud.

This is more blackened than the predecessor and shows the first impressive results of Scáth Na Dêithe on their way to their own style. A very dark and intense release.
