"The Anguish Of Which We Reek" journeys through the despair one feels when they fail to find meaning in life. In a sense, this song is a return to my roots, written in a similar way to "Sunlight." There is no ambiguity, no grand story: just a man contemplating a hollow life.
lyrics
Blinding light shreds my façade,
Lays bare what's deeply flawed.
Somber musings left me lonesome and cold,
My stoic vigil in this starry fold.
Falling now beyond perception,
This shade's transfixed to my soul.
Laid in putrid mire, well past redemption,
Ossein gloom shepherds me to Sheol.
Languish in misery, your body is now weak, is now weak.
Know naught but anguish, of which you now reek, you now reek.
Bleeding now into my wretched mind,
This bleak illusion of light which binds me.
Incinerate the anguish, and leave naught left behind,
Writhing on a pyre for all to see.
Languish in misery, your vision is now bleak, is now bleak.
Bask in the anguish, of which you now reek, you now reek.
To exist, and be void of life,
A puppet with no master, weak and fading.
Anguish beyond comprehension,
The anguish of which I reek.
Languish in misery, my spirit is now weak, is now weak.
Smothered in anguish, of which I now reek, I now reek.
The anguish,
The anguish,
The anguish of which I now reek, I now reek.
Somber musings left me lonesome and cold in this desolate fold.
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
