lyrics
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

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. Aprilmist
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 RJ
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. Sælzer Bub
