To Paint a New World
from The Weakness of Virtue by SOULMASS
lyrics
I gaze across this world
As cold winds blow
My heart grows heavy
As dark as my soul
Come make this your home
Stay with us
Embrace the mold, let all decay
Come share this our bed
Abandon hope
Forget the fire, just fade away
Endless night
Out of sight
In this prison
All is lost
As we rot
In this painted world
We are the Forlorn
Forgotten souls
Accepting doom, please let us stay
In this quiet place
Unburdened by flame
Betrayed by ash, this is our fate
We are weak
And the meek
In this cold hell
Our Father cries
Believing lies
In this tainted world
I've seen your kind here before
You seekers of truth
You lack the stomach for it
So die in agony
I trust you'll learn your lesson
Some secrets stay kept
By oath to my dear Lady
Curiosity be your cross
The one to show me flame
You've opened the door
I am pleased to see you
Uncle Gael has told me
Very much about you
I wish to return now
To paint a new world
Behold it, my canvas
So cold, dark, and gentle
And it will make someone
A goodly home one day
I see the flames, they flicker
Not enough blood shed
Please bring my flail, please Friede
Canst thou not see?
When the Ashes are two
A flame alighteth
Thou art Ash, and fire befits thee
Let your black flame burn
As cold winds blow
My heart grows heavy
As dark as my soul
Come make this your home
Stay with us
Embrace the mold, let all decay
Come share this our bed
Abandon hope
Forget the fire, just fade away
Endless night
Out of sight
In this prison
All is lost
As we rot
In this painted world
We are the Forlorn
Forgotten souls
Accepting doom, please let us stay
In this quiet place
Unburdened by flame
Betrayed by ash, this is our fate
We are weak
And the meek
In this cold hell
Our Father cries
Believing lies
In this tainted world
I've seen your kind here before
You seekers of truth
You lack the stomach for it
So die in agony
I trust you'll learn your lesson
Some secrets stay kept
By oath to my dear Lady
Curiosity be your cross
The one to show me flame
You've opened the door
I am pleased to see you
Uncle Gael has told me
Very much about you
I wish to return now
To paint a new world
Behold it, my canvas
So cold, dark, and gentle
And it will make someone
A goodly home one day
I see the flames, they flicker
Not enough blood shed
Please bring my flail, please Friede
Canst thou not see?
When the Ashes are two
A flame alighteth
Thou art Ash, and fire befits thee
Let your black flame burn

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.
