lyrics
Your words.
They sound so mellow.
You build worlds.
But you tear them down.
You paint blue skies.
But you burn them down.
Your songs.
They sound so mellow.
I hear your words.
Loud and clear.
I can see
between the lines.
But which is the truth?
And what is lies?
Where is the truth that you promise?
Where is the dawn that you foresee?
Look!
Look inside you!
Nothingness. Emptiness. Eternal void.
Chaos is all you crave.
No progress. No future.
People kneeling for fake gods.
People living under misery.
Look! Look inside you!
Someone got himself crucified.
For our fictitious sins.
He had promised eternal salvation.
And he became a symbol of a messiah.
He is a hypocrite! He is a fool!
Deny him! Listen to me!
Deny every god! Deny them!
Deny everything!
My will is for something else.
The new age will be different.
My revolution comes.
And my kingdom will not be of this world.
Salvation is a big circle
and this circle must close.
Around its lines,
the abyss lurks.
One wrong step
and you are lost.
You must walk on thin air
Like an acrobat.
Else... the void consumes you.
You have to look the abyss in the eye
Do not be afraid.
Do not be afraid of the darkness.
Do not be attracted by the light.
This salvation is a big circle
and this circle must close.
For salvation you must discover truth.
Your own personal truth.
Discover it. Then reach it.
By then the abyss will not mean a thing.
You will be superior.
You will be free.
What is the form of my abyss?
Which is my own truth?
And all those pitiful martyrs.
Their memory is now long gone.
Flames burned their faces.
Searching for eternal forgiveness,
Their bodies now rot in pits.
You! Embrace the sun!
Everything melts but your body.
You will be saved.
You wear a crown of a billion stars.
You hold infinity in your hands.
You! Yes you!
Me? I will not perish too!
I will not fall into the abyss.
My truth shines.
So, I will march ahead.
To the end of the world! And beyond!
To the end of time! And beyond!
To the end of the Cosmos! And beyond!
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Oranssi Pazuzu, the gods of psych black prog metal!! Many an act attempts to fuse those elements, and very few do it well. OP are and will continue to be the leaders in this style! Ralph Douglas
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 5, 2016
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. sachavonkarl74
