lyrics

Shlamaloukh, qarrādum
Ye conquered, placed in chains
There is a fire in you yet
Why choose this road of pain

Tell me of a memory
Of sister or mother
Your brother, maybe lover
Or perhaps sweet son or daughter

Oh to think of a love so far away
Two bold sons I love so dearly
A cottage on a cliff so high
The scent of sea air in summer

The sound of seagulls and fisherfolk
Sight of the market in swing
And of beloved wife so precious
How I long to see them once again

But there is something
I hold dearer still
My word, my honour
my faith, my soul
To forsake them
is to forsake myself
And that is too terrible
for me to bear

Save yourself, reject the false gods
your sacrifice is pointless
The dead have no words to speak
No songs to sing, no tales to tell

Think of your woman, your children
Think of home somewhere safe
Life is to be lived and savored
Not thrown away

Mistake me not, I think of them always
How could I forget them
We have just one life, tis true
But I have lived it fully to this day

We shall speak no more
My decision is made, my regrets few
Let me face my fate
I will soon meet my gods

That distant song
Is that you my love
Could it be you
Could it be you

Yar Tarvadan recommends:

Echoes of the Past
by Kaatarakt

Kaatarakt's Echoes of the Past is as close to my musical style as I ever found. It is epic, full of energy and beautiful melodies. No dull, filler riffs to make the songs longer. Yar Tarvadan

Chanson de la Croisade
by Lemuria

This album is like a movie. When I listen to it, I can see the scenes in front of my eyes. Dramatic storytelling is something I'd like to achieve with my songs, too, although in less 'cinematic' take. Yar Tarvadan

Echoes of Battle
by Caladan Brood

The pinnacle of atmospheric black metal. Gorgeous melodies, great lyrics, chilling atmosphere. Pure epicness. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Yar Tarvadan

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

The Intimate Earth

Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect? An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9
