Säikähdyksestä lentävät
mustat linnut peittävät taivaanrannan.
Raakkuen ne hyvästit heittävät,
kun jäävät taakse pilvenreunan.
Kaartavat itään karkuun aurinkoa.
Näkymättöminä nyt voivat pelastua.
Valjasta itsesi lentoon.
Paljasta muiden virheet.
Valosta nautintoon.
Unohda omat erheet.
Nautinnosta kylläiset
mustat linnut lentävät taivaanrantaan.
Raakkuen ne viimeiset sanansa yrittävät saada sanotuksi.
Kaartavat itään.
Vielä näkyvissä.
Siispä tuomittuina kadotetuksi.
3. Birds
Out of fright they fly
Black birds cover the horizon.
Croaking as they take their farewell,
as they are left behind the cloudline.
They turn east away from the sun.
Now invisible they can be saved.
Prepare yourself to fly.
Reveal others' mistakes
From light to pleasure.
Forget your own lapses.
On a path of insincerity
you've travelled your life.
Did you get away in the shadows?
Were you forgiven for what you'd done?
On a path of insincerity
you've done your deed.
Did you get away in the shadows?
Were you forgiven for your life?
Filled with pleasure
black birds fly to the horizon.
Croaking as they try to speak out their last words.
Turning east.
Still out in the open.
Thus condemned in perdition.
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2023
