Only a God Can't Save Us

Bury me in pain in an endless night
So I’ll cast no shadow
Obsolete beings on the verge of suicide
‘Cause hopes are gone by the fading light
Succumb to the new and give away
Your pride, your side
Bare bones, hypertrophy of mind
My twilight, your demise
Bare bones and hanging flesh
Words breed lies
Only a god can save me now
In the eclipse of a star
Wounded ego shining low
Harvests his demise
Willing to face the pain below
A search for oblivion
Tearing my life to shreds
My pride, my side
Obsolete beings on the verge of suicide
Hopes are gone by the fading light
I cast no shadow
I fall apart
Knowledge denial
All structures collapse
Only a god can save us now
Bare bones with hanging flesh
in the light of a star

Melete

Facing the death of our bodies, nothing will survive but memory
Enter oblivion, the condition of our humanity
Conviction of the self
Thrown into this world
Facing nightmares alone
All that I’ve known in this path
Is that there is no turning back
Rebuild the life long gone, Melete
Life is the unknown
Alone in this Darkness above, Melete
It’s the last proof of your devotion
Empty shield in empty spaces, struggle is origin of species
Thriving the life for nothing, presences unfolded whispering from nowhere
See this Knowledge: the denial of mind
our finitude can’t be left behind
Our being is towards death, labile and fragile to the last breath
Rebuild the life long gone, Melete
Life is the unknown
Alone in this Darkness above, dear Melete
It’s the last proof of your devotion
Rebuild the life’s love long gone, Melete
Life is the unknown
Leaving this life alone, dear Melete
it’s the last proof of devotion
Rebuild the life long gone, Melete
Life is a bridge between the unknown
Alone in this Darkness above, dear Melete
A last proof of devotion
Rebuild the life’s love long gone, Melete
Life is a bridge between the unknown
Leaving this life alone, dear Melete
it’s the last proof of devotion

Bedim the Sun

Nature proceeds by blunders; that way is also ours
So if we have blundered it as a blunder,
why make a fuss over it?
Our own self-removal
Would be a magnificent move
A feat so luminous
It would bedim the sun
What do we have to lose?
No evil would attend our departure from this world
And the many evils we’ve known
Would go extinct along with us
Our own self-removal
Would be a magnificent move
A feat so luminous
It would bedim the sun.
So why put off what would
be the most laudable masterstroke
of our existence, and the only one?

Thanatou

|
In and out of straying
All hopes placed in praying
But all shall pass in this life
Pendulum between bore and pain
All we have been
And my will of forgiveness
Is a house that’s not mine anymore
If there is something above
Locked in my pain alone
Hearing your voices
Without any answer
I saw you through the shadows in my eyes
Memories of life left behind
I Can’t hear my last whisper
These walls unadorned of your absence/presence
In this in-between there are only shadows, all memories fade out
In the fleeting moment a shudder, then nothing
Yet remains something of what happened
Nothing
That’s everything
Melete thanatou

Pyre
05:45
|
|||
|
With wounds adorned we stand on our own
Hearts worn by the pain we used to call home
Shadow memories stare at the past flowing down
I saw your face wearing a thorned crown
Life is a tide we cannot control
Eclipsed moon dries abandoned shores
Life is a disease we cannot heal
I can feel the end but I can’t steer
How quick the sun falls down in the light of a funeral pyre
How quick the sun falls down like a feeble candle’s fire

Void Cult Rising

We stand enlightened between chaos and need
Our future breed is the last
The shrouded wisdom and his bleeding answer
Nothing is and we shall fall apart
Standing on the edge of abyss
Paralyzed by fear
A new void cult is rising
Will is the fatal flaw of man
As the end of time awaits
Vision of a black sun
Our ancestry was born posthumous
Bones becoming dust
We stand enlightened between chaos and need
Our future breed is the last
The shrouded wisdom and his bleeding answer
Nothing is and we shall fall apart
Waiting for the answer from above
Nothing really is
Waiting for the answer from above
That resides in me

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.

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONE
supported by 17 fans who also own “Void Cult Rising”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10

Big fat tracks that flow and grow and never let you down; all of it is awesome. Naga comes with a ton of force, yet I find myself so relaxed, with a dumb smile on my face.
