lyrics
In light of the past, and darkness of the age,
They lay in the memories of old,
Entombed spirits, inked to assuage,
Dormant, lifeless and striving in the cold.
A phantasm, an eidolon past,
Where they seethe, and feast on will,
A black horde, a multitude vast,
The looming deathwatch peering in dreadful silence,
Waiting for their fill.
In the foulest pits, in the darkest coves,
They are rooted as oaks, and nimble as hares.
Bound in the vale of darkness in vast droves.
Where it seldom hears, the voice of prayers.
Amidst the veil of moonlight shadow and starlight
In the shadow of the oldest aspens, I wept.
I witnessed a vision of the coming blight,
And the elixir, shrined, where it was kept.
It was in the old songs of the Smith,
The Ancient One's great hammer sang its song,
A key to the elixir, where they had thought it a myth
And a cosmic hammer, belting well, and powerful.
The hammer song was a sacred voice, a diadem of light,
Fleeing the hordes of fleshless evil,
Exiling this the blackened dread with its great Light,
With this ancient song, I felt the key and saw the elixir,
Where I pursued this with all my might.
Hear the cold wind cries,
its deeds and demise.
See the vale of night,
The leaves have all but died, x7
They lay in the memories of old,
Entombed spirits, inked to assuage,
Dormant, lifeless and striving in the cold.
A phantasm, an eidolon past,
Where they seethe, and feast on will,
A black horde, a multitude vast,
The looming deathwatch peering in dreadful silence,
Waiting for their fill.
In the foulest pits, in the darkest coves,
They are rooted as oaks, and nimble as hares.
Bound in the vale of darkness in vast droves.
Where it seldom hears, the voice of prayers.
Amidst the veil of moonlight shadow and starlight
In the shadow of the oldest aspens, I wept.
I witnessed a vision of the coming blight,
And the elixir, shrined, where it was kept.
It was in the old songs of the Smith,
The Ancient One's great hammer sang its song,
A key to the elixir, where they had thought it a myth
And a cosmic hammer, belting well, and powerful.
The hammer song was a sacred voice, a diadem of light,
Fleeing the hordes of fleshless evil,
Exiling this the blackened dread with its great Light,
With this ancient song, I felt the key and saw the elixir,
Where I pursued this with all my might.
Hear the cold wind cries,
its deeds and demise.
See the vale of night,
The leaves have all but died, x7

Iconic in every form. Om is cosmic and is a noetic feast. This is simply on another realm.

Experimental drone at it's finest. Feast your ear canals to Lichens' majesty.

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.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...
