Plight of the Heretic
12:49

|
The plight of mine is to destroy
Deluded lies you inculcate
You think your pathetic religion is love
When conditions attached are based on hate
You congregate your simple minds
Reinforce old myths of the unwise
No thought to question irrationality
Your book is nothing more than just a fallacy
You let yourself slide
Joining their paralysed minds
Too lost to find
It’s where the blind leads the blind leads the blind
You buy what they sell
You don’t ask why, they won’t tell
Lies borne by men
To rule again and again and again
You force borrowed thoughts
See if my mind will contort
I’m at the end
Can’t take it over and over again
Rage brews inside
And i can no longer hide
The hate for your god
Your whole life is flawed
You’re a fraud, just a fraud
Lies, just lies
Your texts, i despise
Preach fear
Is all I hear
Hijack unknown
End’s always near
Your thoughts and prayers
Fall on deaf ears
Of a man made god
Chants go nowhere
You waste your time
You stall mankind
As you push your view
Of which lie’s true
The plight of the heretic
Is nothing more
Than a simple desire
To be left alone
Why can’t you see
That I want you all to leave me be
Let me wallow in my misery
That’s all you see, but to me, I am free
Why can’t you see
That I want you all to leave me be
Let me wallow in my misery
That’s all you see, but to me, I am free

Dust

No more us
Going away leaving today
I’m taking back my life
And turning around this body and mind
No more us
Going away, leaving today
I’m packing up my things
And turning around this body of mine
I let you use violently
I’m facing this insanity
'Cos all my care
Is wasting away
It’s too hard to bear
There’s no more us
No more us
There’s no more
Nothing at all
Just dust
There’s nothing, nothing at all
You say I’m wrong
It’s all I know
That’s life
The seed is sown
Don’t leave me here
All alone
This time I’ll change
Let me atone
I can’t find
The person I was
Can’t see through this fog
Have I lost my way
Tried for so long
Forgotten my own propriety
You’ll see the cracks in my identity
And all my care has wasted away
It’s too hard to bear
There’s no more us

Sombre Skies
14:09
|
|||
|
Face, face the world you seek to own
And the ones you must dethrone
For their game is no longer the way
No way to go home
They, they break the lines and force divide
Try to push against the tide
Of our time
With pale might, their death knell
The war cry of our time
I can’t breathe
Unchain me
Set
Me
Free
Unchain
Me!
Your bent has shaped me
Now it torments me
Ropes that bind me
Used to enslave me
How can I break free
Now they’re part of me
Symbiotically
Fused into my skin
How can i break free?
How can i break free?
Your world eclipses
You can’t see me
Nor will you hear me
Just blindly control me
I want an ending
Words heard within me
Escape is futile
But still I do try
Still I must try
To get outside
The dismal day
And the sombre sky
I watch the rain
As the days go by
Oh placid rain
Beautiful twilight
Cast a shadow upon me
As I walk into the night

The Blazing Tempest
07:18
|
|||
|
My life was spawned from
Madman’s desire
Dead fuel and dry woods
Mass funeral pyre
Hot winds and heatwaves
Fan wicked flames
Riding the north wind
Death smoulders in my wake
Fierce and destructive
Wild and untamed
Hollowed and burnt out,
Charred lives I claim
Out in the darkness
Inferno glows
The blazing tempest
Watch my raging hellfire grow
Skies are grey
Through the haze
I can’t see
What stood there once before
Ash and dust
Now I must
Recognize
What was now is no more
The forest bows down
And accepts her blackened fate
She knows its time now
For her kin to regenerate
Propagate
Germinate
Perpetuate
Begone clouds above me
Keep in your rain
No fatal downpours
And I’ll multiply my claim
The skies betray me
And douse my flames
Snuff out my anger
Though embers still remain
Fierce and destructive
Wild and untamed
Hollowed and burnt out,
Charred lives I claim
Out in the darkness
Inferno glows
The blazing tempest
Watch my raging hellfire grow

Silent and unseen it came
This creeping, ruthless disease
The old and weak succumbed to it
The strongest brought to their knees
Conceited empires hath fallen
Ignored physician’s ides of march
Their houses of god left abandoned
For man’s wisdom they’ve greater trust
This pestilence
This plague
This sickness
This scourge
This disease
Disease
Disease

supported by 15 fans who also own “Plight of the Heretic”
Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE
supported by 14 fans who also own “Plight of the Heretic”
An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.

It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering".

The Weight Of Remembrance
by Tribunal
The Vancouver duo's stunning debut draws upon decades of dark, sanguine sounds.

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3
