Pilgrims of the Sea

From the cold grey bleak formations of isolation and entrapment
one in which drowns the life of man to the brink of desperation, of torment, isolation
A melting pot of atrocity, hostility, belligerence; to the brink
Precincts of intolerance and egoistic elitism, a false facade masking weakness
Eternal prey of time, devoid of patience
One smothered by the suburban grid of putrefaction, moral perversion
the over consumption, the culture wars.. love thy neighbour - silence them.
Metropolis, exodus.
The voyage, commence - We pilgrims for the sea
Inhale, exhale, as the swell washes over me
Burdens sway in the tidal dance as the shore breaks
channeling the lulls - free, at ease, wash over me.
We pilgrims for the sea

Secure from within, devoid of validation from the hordes of order
Tread where the feeble dare and set sail against the tide, the wind, the masses
Deviate from the path of dullness, of decency, predictability
forge ahead and answer to solely I
Disgust in the norms of expectation, to deny without reason
and seek oneness with thyself, my howl; unheard, we are the wolves of wilful isolation
Denounce the social dance of falsity, insincerity to console
a rehearsed recital of select decencies, a sway of language, social for-play of loathing
The call of attention is at waste, reach and fall, the unheard cries to a cloud of formalities
Let us celebrate the pursuit of self interest over societal values and formed reckoning
Exercise the beast within man, and seek pleasure at the cost of others and civil etiquette
Join us, never.
Seek oneness with thyself, my howl; unheard.
We are the wolves of wilful isolation

Solus, Total Death

Cold - The freezing moon luminates the I
Darkness - Hear the wolves howl, the wilderness complete
Solus, total death
The forsaken crown of horde
Spawn an energy
To create to destroy
Void, to look within
one meaning lost on us all
Abandon the rituals of conventional practice
Ruin, the throne of command
I, master I
Harness the power of I, of now
to conquer the terror of death

Inherited a burden, through generations of man
a cursed existence of internal failures etched in the calcified linings of torment
As the rising sun awakes the plague from within,
the unseen agony takes hold
the figure steadily invades itself, attacks, assaults, destroys
the mote fails its fortress,
the tower descends into eternal ruin overrun by itself,
An invasion from within, an onslaught of progression, pain, misery, suffering.
Relief only ruins the pits of hell, chronic torture
as the armour crushes the vitals, the threads tear,
and once again descend into eternal despair
arise to face the enemy at dawn,
the enduring battle continues, it continues on.

Eternal Inferno
06:55
|
|||
|
A constant suppression, an animalistic urge, one in which dealt by crushing death
an imprudent display of ignorance - damaged, trauma
to look into the eyes of youth and rest a profound burden, immortally altered
the battle of love and hate equilibrium
an eternal, visceral compulsion to unleash utter rage and destruction
yet blanketed by a constant unseen cloak of struggle and restraint
in the wings awaiting to obliterate the enemy like an ancient cavalry charge
at the drop of the hat, of a whimsical cause, total utter confusion; sans surprise
perpetual wrath, ferocity and convulsions oppose the desire of good less harm
the cloak contains such hostility, suppressed to endure the eternal inferno.

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.

Their best record, heavy, melodic, big, riffs everywhere, full of grief and harmony guitars. Feels like an ending of sorts.
