Silent and cold sits that old house on my street
Boarded up and forgotten
Covered in golden leaves
A monument to loss
An ode to solitude
And all the time I didn't get with you
I'm reminded of better days
Moss upon the cobblestone
Memory of the deceased
What scares me the most are the things I cannot see
The feelings I don't feel
The memories I've lost
And the dreams I won't dream
Never-ending emptiness
Silent and cold sits that old house on my street
Boarded up and forgotten
Covered in golden leaves
The memory of the deceased
Things seem so gray and lifeless now
I feel so frozen at the thought
Things seem so gray and lifeless now
Winter feels colder from here on out
Upon my mantle your ashes sit
Right next to Grandma and David's
Moss upon the cobblestone
Memory of the deceased
What scares me the most are the things I cannot see
A monument to loss
An ode to solitude
And all the time I didn't get with you

Aimless

Basking in overwhelming fear
Sleep deprived
Embracing the cold December night
Thinking of those who've come
I think of the ones who've gone
Cherishing and lamenting
The ghosts of memories haunt me
Their shadows looming, always whispering
Five years past
All that time searching for what I never had
Drunken nights spent stumbling
Beneath neon lights, down fractured streets
Five years past
All the time searching for what I never had
Drunken nights spent stumbling
Laughing at our anguish, aimlessly wandering
A slave
A slave to shame
Naive to myself
A scared child in the eyes of the world
Northbound
With no end in sight
Just a glimpse of radiance o'er the silhouetted horizon
Northbound
With no end in sight
Just a glimpse of radiance
The wheel is cold on my palms
My kunckles are white
But when the warmth of your breath grazes my cheek
I look past the sky and dream

To Dream Again

No
No passion
Left in me
Left in my heart
A lonely hunter
Down on their luck
Brittle and broken
No will to depart
How does one move past this?
When you're shattered to pieces
You can't find the fragments
You don't recognize the face in the mirror
Memories of those dreams
Return to what once defined me
It's all I want, all I need
Reaching out
Yet my hand falls short
Too little too late
Again, again, and again
Memories of those dreams
Return to what once defined me
It's all I want, all I need
I didn't ask for this
I just want to dream again
Maybe one day I'll move past this
I'll know that what I did was best
The tears will end and I'll begin
To dream again
Maybe one day I'll find the light
Drawing a close to endless nights
Seething and sadness would finally end
To dream again

A Moment's Ghost
09:34

The sight of the empty earth so gray
Ever since the day that we all heard the call
It's so strange
How life became cold and frozen
How they can forget your name
How time walks through a void as if it were a goddamn sign
O'Begone - Never again
To see and to behold once more
To haunt me never again
And when it rains, it pours on me forever
See the moon and reflect on their life
Tell me the way to see the sun rise away
I will think how the monster becomes, and the recorse that binds us in sound
And the ones that will dream of the days when they'll see past the sun's bitter skies
O'Begone - Never again
To see and to behold once more
To haunt me never again
And when it rains, it hails like no tomorrow
See the moon and reflect on their life
Tell me the way to see right and today
I'd trade the memory
Take me to every plane
(How do we?)
How do we set apart?
I always wander
I always wonder would a river flood from the tears?
Distance, abruption
Without consequence
The failures of the heart, the loss so profound
Once is not enough
Pervading intense
How do you stand with the levy so heavy?
Distance, abruption
Without consequence
The perpetual lament from the 28th of 12
Once is just too much
We're solely devoured by the aching of these hours
The sight of the empty earth so gray
Ever since the day that we saw the fall
It's so strange how life became cold and frozen
How can I forget your name
Now I walk through a void, waiting
Wait for the sign
I'm in that moment all the time
Because it never leaves my mind
I swear I saw your face
And every day I think on through
Then feel the ghost and know it's true
Why did you have to go away?
Now I close my eyes and dream of brighter yesterdays
I may be frozen and cold, I won't forget your names

Fragments

You still cast a shadow on these walls
A silhouette of disquiet and discomfort
Shroud of winter, ne'er to thaw
Passing through, passing on
Broken epiphany
Moments of clarity
At the cost of innocence
One sleep begins
At the expense
Of my own slumber yet to come
As the night breaks for day
Frigid fingers cannot grasp
Nor give comfort to my sickness
Shroud of winter, ne'er to thaw
Passing through, passing on
Senses are going numb
I fear I will become
Estranged from reality
As the night breaks for day
Turning the page
Another day
When my scars
Speak to me
Brought to the surface
Vivid imagery
Fragments of the scene

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
Life Has Gone On Long Enough proves that production does matter in black metal sometimes. The mood it generates befits what should be considered a Master Class in dsbm.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
