When the Flame Begins to Fade
from The Weakness of Virtue by SOULMASS
lyrics
A flame alights the grey
Awakening lost spirits
Drawn they are to the blaze
Coming out from the shadows
Souls writhe within the fire
Lords of life, death, light, and dark
Gods to bring a new age
Rising against the dragons
War to split the world below
A swirling mass of death above
Chaos burns the land of ancients
Lightning piercing scales of stone
The dragons fall
Betray their own
The lord of light
Claims his new home
Lordran the great
City of gods
An age of fire
But at what cost?
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?
Desperation, she alights
A chaos flame out of control
Consuming evil, untamed life
The witch reborn a demon lord
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?
The lord sacrifices all
Against forces of chaos
His family torn apart
His people left to darkness
Illusion of the sun
Shines light upon the city
But soon the flames will fade
And only dark will remain
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?
Awakening lost spirits
Drawn they are to the blaze
Coming out from the shadows
Souls writhe within the fire
Lords of life, death, light, and dark
Gods to bring a new age
Rising against the dragons
War to split the world below
A swirling mass of death above
Chaos burns the land of ancients
Lightning piercing scales of stone
The dragons fall
Betray their own
The lord of light
Claims his new home
Lordran the great
City of gods
An age of fire
But at what cost?
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?
Desperation, she alights
A chaos flame out of control
Consuming evil, untamed life
The witch reborn a demon lord
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?
The lord sacrifices all
Against forces of chaos
His family torn apart
His people left to darkness
Illusion of the sun
Shines light upon the city
But soon the flames will fade
And only dark will remain
When the flame begins to fade
What can we do to save it?
When the dark comes for us all
How can we hope to stave it?

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.
