lyrics

In my death
All will die
We will be
Freed from time
Fraying ends
Of our lives
Fly as one
All in line

In an instant
Everything melts away
Universal and swift our decline
Ending all time

There was death
There was grief
Were you here
Did I leave?
Voices spoke
There was light
Without thought
Without sight

Braced myself and I watched you cry
Felt the outside rushing by
Where was the ending, when did we die?
Watching, waiting as we fly.

--End of--

--Nothing--

Beginnings, endings all in line
Something exists outside of our feeble minds
And so we were mistaken
Imprisoned in our time
Tied up in the boundaries
Of our symbols and signs

Of Science of religion
Chained to these confines.

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 26 fans who also own “There Was Death”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

supported by 22 fans who also own “There Was Death”

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. tenebriscaedes
