lyrics

We Are Already Dead

Ashen clouds slowly sail on the frowning sky,
Baleful Moon shines gently from behind,
Thousands of poignant tears are shed down below,
Filthy dry odor succumbed to petrichor.

An Ominous passage led to the sullen night paysage
Which seemed hitherto an illusive far mirage.
In tender, soft embrace of wretched enchantress
Even timeless darkness will lose to her in chess.

With heavy steps, but tranquil breath he treads to a broad ledge,
Twisted shapes of gray landscape are seen from the house edge,
Weary life and soul's strife, melancholia,
Sudden fall of lie bestowed grim euphoria.

Seducing gaze from nonentity.
He looked loftily and brusquely at the gaunt face
As if oblivious about her mournful grace,
Her grave malady and naive vanity
This insomnious autumnal night.

This insomnious autumnal night
In murky, burial shroud death cries.
She bewails about this agonized blink
After his scornful sight.

On drear eyes of emerald color
For the last time he saw a bitter, mute sorrow.
Haggard, frail body rests on the moist, cold ground
Among sere asphodels, among vermilion gouts.

She is compelled to play in a basilisk chess
Thus guarding a painful suspense.
On a pallid, glum mien of the Woeful Queen
Appeared a genuine sadness.

He deluded her vilely, broke her shy heart,
Trampled it arrogantly, tore it apart.
By invisible waves of vespertine air
She was thrown in an abyss of eternal despair.

On drear eyes of emerald color
For the last time he saw a bitter, mute sorrow.
Haggard, frail body rests on the moist cold ground
Among sere asphodels, among vermilion gouts.

Golden foliage billows by the chill, October wind
Beneath argent, dim moonbeams.
And the last words he said before the tragical end:
"We are... We are... We are already dead..."

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 8 fans who also own “We Are Already Dead”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

The Isolation Splendour
by Immensity

supported by 8 fans who also own “We Are Already Dead”

There's something about Immensity's take on the genre that is far more immersive and emotive than average, and it lies in those lengthy, dynamic tracks that feel like they're telling a story with their melodies and sound manipulation. Looking for a potential breath of fresh air in death doom? This album may be for you. Full review: http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=13205 starvynth

Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
