The First Sin
from The Weakness of Virtue by SOULMASS
lyrics
The lord of light banished the dark
Linking his soul to the first flame
Cursing us all; we are the damned
We live as shades of the first sin
Trapped by fate and false pretense
This world of warmth and resplendence
It's all a lie; we are deprived
Our heroes
Are hollow
Gone insane
Cursed to live again and again
Our burden
The chosen
Linked to flame
Cursed to die again and again
What lies beyond the scope of light?
What lies beyond the reach of dark?
We're all that remains
What lies beyond the scope of light?
What lies beyond the reach of dark?
Only ash remains
Our heroes
Are hollow
Gone insane
Cursed to live again and again
Our burden
The chosen
Linked to flame
Cursed to die again and again
When the flame begins to falter
The curse returns again
On this path we're forced to follow
We're slaves to the first sin
When the flame begins to falter
And the darkness creeps in
As the world turns to the hollow
The cycle starts again
Linking his soul to the first flame
Cursing us all; we are the damned
We live as shades of the first sin
Trapped by fate and false pretense
This world of warmth and resplendence
It's all a lie; we are deprived
Our heroes
Are hollow
Gone insane
Cursed to live again and again
Our burden
The chosen
Linked to flame
Cursed to die again and again
What lies beyond the scope of light?
What lies beyond the reach of dark?
We're all that remains
What lies beyond the scope of light?
What lies beyond the reach of dark?
Only ash remains
Our heroes
Are hollow
Gone insane
Cursed to live again and again
Our burden
The chosen
Linked to flame
Cursed to die again and again
When the flame begins to falter
The curse returns again
On this path we're forced to follow
We're slaves to the first sin
When the flame begins to falter
And the darkness creeps in
As the world turns to the hollow
The cycle starts again

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

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.
