lyrics

The Silence that I feel is killing me...

The last nail pierces the hand,
but the pain of the flesh
is nothing compared to that
of the spirit.

I don’t hate you, men.
I would be dead just the same before long.
A man can’t live alone
with his ghosts for long.

If only I could be sure
not to be forgotten by you,
this agony would be
as sweet as honey.

I can’t hear your voice,
maybe I misunderstood your will?
Break this deafening
Silence that surrounds me,
I beg you...

Three times I died for you, Father,
for the ideal you’ve sown in my heart.
And not even the desert
has succeeded in eradicating this plant.

The first time I died for you was
when I abandoned the materiality of my existence,
disowning my own mother…

The second time was
when I understood,
when I understood what your plan was.
I closed my eyes,
and I saw it.

This is the third time,
I die while thorns are
wrapping round my mind,
nailed to a cross with my ideals.

If only I could be sure
not to be forgotten by you,
This agony would be
as sweet as honey.

I can’t hear your voice,
maybe I misunderstood your will?
Break this deafening
Silence that surrounds me...

Your silence pierces me more
than these sharp long nails.
I want only a sign
of your approval.

Spread your arms, hug me
and speak to me,
disperse these horrible spectres
that are devouring my soul.

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.

Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.

I thirst.
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.

Woman, this is your son. This is your mother.

It is finished.

And now that I know
you’re an illusion,
all my castles crumble into dust
and drag me to the cliff’s end.

The shadows get longer,
reality loses its shape,
I feel a Silence
that desperately cries
and roughly chokes my thoughts.

I am dying…

My God, my God,
why have you
forsaken me?

Into the Silence
alone I sink with
my broken hopes.

It is finished

I was extremely hyperfixated on this album a couple years back. not as much as me with Long Season by Fishmans rn but it was a big obsession. listening to it again, it's still just as good now I love it so much omg honourable mentions: keeping stone water awake, known, unturning. katsumashi

by Kingcrow

supported by 4 fans who also own “Three Times”

Kingcrow propose ici un métal progressif qui navigue élégamment entre « métal » et « progressif », avec des incursions vers la pop contemporaine – celle qui ne fait pas honte quand on l’écoute. Ce n’est pas forcément très brutal, ni très complexe, mais ça joue avec élégance de l’alchimie entre les deux styles. Stéphane Gallay
