Jehovah:
"Read in my book of lies
of atrocities, blood and sacrifice
My temples erected in gold and bone
The stupid sheep turn their head the blind!"
The Priestess:
"And comes the winter of your life
You king of kings left your own device
The ones who thought walk i |

Ну, это дум, конечно, но странный дум какой-то…это сильно напомнило мне домашние записи одного приятеля-гитариста – их группа, когда использует свою тетку из хора капеллы, звучит почти что также. Здесь же риффинг и настрой напоминают Anathema времен Eternity и Judgement, причем процентов на 15 разбавленную… группой «Чайф» (песнями «Ой-ё» и «Какая боль» конкретно, хехехе). Хотя два противника кризиса звучат посолиднее-монолитнее как правило. Ритменные размеры и вокалы в их сочетании творят что-то действительно странное…Но вот песня Goodbye to Jane – просто попса, хотя и апатичная, а песня “Her orphaned throne” – что-то не то из «Парка Горького», не то из In Extremo -)…Кстати, в любое другое время года я бы не поставил на вертак эти 70 минут. |

Первый альбом этой one-man-band, о котором в свое время говорили, что он "невероятно гармоничный", или что-то в этом роде. Действительно добротный doom-metal, но целиком я его слушать не могу - либо устаю от полной гармонии :), либо после гениального второго трэка остальные просто не идут... А песню Goodbye To Jane, хоть она и странно смотрится, я люблю - хотя бы потому, что там только очень нравящийся мне женский вокал. :) |

С высоты прошедших лет этот альбом оценивается совершенно так же, как и тогда, в далеком 97-ом... Абсолютно самобытный, я бы даже сказал, самодостаточный материал. Альбом концептуальный, и даже пресловутая Goodbye To Jane не выпадает из общего настроения. Прекрасный женский вокал, разнообразный и искренний мужской, превосходная мелодика, музыкально - очень необычная, но отлично заходящая смесь doom, black и gothic. В общем, в 97-ом лучше ничего не выходило.
...Разве что "Ophidian Wheel" Septic Flesh, но это немного из другой оперы... |

Will freeze death in the endless night!"
The Angels:
"The Goddess of the Night comes
Three curses the holy throne
No regrets - it's late!
The Goddess of the Night comes
Will ask for what have you done
The father, holy ghost and son
No remand!"
The Witch:
"The sisters murdered long ago
Still sing their songs in my heart
The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes
Still call me through the times"
Jehovah:
"Your senseless prayers I never hear
The sign of the cross in praise of your fear
Your little belief is just crap
on the rotten body of your so-called Christ!"
The Priestess:
"The blind, the crippled and the lame
Still keep their faith in a god of disgrace
But a songless bird will never sing
the dying glory of a bogus king"
The Angels:
"The Goddess of the Night comes
Three curses the holy throne
No regrets - it's late!
The Goddess of the Night comes
Will ask for what have you done
The father, holy ghost and son
No remand!"
The Witch:
"The sisters murdered long ago
Still sing their songs in my heart
The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes
Still call me through the times
You cut me down and I'll leap high
I am the life that never dies
So dance where ever you may be
The ruler of the dance is She!"
The Fool:
"And my elder sister takes me by the hand
And we spiral sideways a far away land
In the tempest she sings with the ocean's roar
Glowing in the storm that the mermaid bore
Them witches calling up from the shore
They walk behind me through the door
Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been?
Behind the moon on the other side of dreams?
Oh, she guides me back as the raven cries
But we'll meet again for dance in the skies
Them witches calling up from the shore
They walk behind me through the door"
Jehovah:
"I am the scum of this dark age
I'm your beginning and your end
Oblivion takes my place
The frame holds just another face of death!"
The Priestess:
"And who will count the slaughtered lives:
The burned, the tortured, the demised?
The blood of the innocent?
The decline of the stolen trinity?"
The Angels:
"The Goddess of the Night comes
Three curses the holy throne
No regrets - it's late!
The Goddess of the Night comes
Will ask for what have you done
The father, holy ghost and son
No remand!"
2. Requiem Ex Sidhe
And will the vows be heard
of immortal desire
A breathtaking darkness
Inthe abyss we dive
As you were mine
And as memories fade
Just like trails of smoke
On a midwinter's night
You kept holding me tight
As you were mine
On came the nights
When storm-clouds veiled the skies
All heavens stood still
And all the worlds did collide
"Forgive me - I failed!"
Lovelorn I will die
Nothing more but a dream
That you were mine
And when the time has come
Everything ends
But this love of ours
It leaves us behind
As you were mine
In my cold white hands
A lover's bequest
There were stars on our side
Just one last caress
For once you were mine
"My friend, the most precious gift"
said the fool
"Is a love that follows no rules:
There's no use in turning away!
So why are you turning away?"
On came the nights
When storm-clouds veiled the skies
All heavens stood still
And all the worlds did collide
"Forgive me - I failed!"
Lovelorn I will die
Nothing more but a dream
That you were mine
3. Goodbye Jane
See the girl on the floor as she's watching the rain
Like sallow tracks of blood running down
Scattered over the floor the sheets painted in black
Showing a fettered, mouthless child
Her mother's gone shopping and she prays
for her daddy not come home
But for Jane's prayers no god gives a damn:
Her daddy is back play with Jane!
She closes her eyes break away from the girl
lying raped and abused on the ground
No use commit herself anyone for who'd believe Jane?
She feels hate for being treated that way:
Is it her fault daddy's playing these games?
She tries in vain think of something she might have done wrong
See the girl on the floor: She can't bear it no more
Lewdy hands defiling her skin
A life like that means not much Jane:
The belt round her neck gently takes her away
He's closing the door for she seems asleep
Those sickening games won't be played any more!
No-one could explain what happened Jane:
She was only one in a million girls...
Goodbye Jane
Goodbye Jane
Goodbye Jane
4. Baleias
By the ocean I sat down one day
Saw my life the other way
All those trials no avail
Broken dreams was all I bloody gained
Remember well when I was a child
They promised me a paradise
But promises turned inlies
leaving us a world demise!
Hold me in your arms
Drown me in sweet moisture
Lascivious fiery breath covering....
Your fangs softly penetrate
the pleasure and the pain
Dissolving I discern:
I'm not dead!
I asked for love, got a golden cage
Plastic emotions in a plastic age
The pain I felt they told me wasn't real
"The Earth!", I cried: My last appeal!
Now it's my turn realize
change the road, change the side
The past has gone, may it rest in peace
A new dawn fades as She sows the seed
Hold me in your arms
Drown me in sweet moisture
Lascivious fiery breath overflow....
Your fangs softly penetrate
the pleasure and the pain
Dissolving I discern:
I'm alive!
A midnight's dream disclosure
saw momentous desire
My life layed in your hands,
My confidence....
The background of reality
just one step away
Am I cross the frontier?
Am I dare?
In dreams I died a thousand times
But then one dream: A golden shrine
Her whispered words did soothe my grief
What a candour in this world of thieves
I hear the call of the roaring sea
Still a fire's burning inside of me
The wind shall take me another shore
The Earth I am, for evermore!
Way down, carry me down the river of life!
Your Love so precious and pure!
May the Goddess grant me a second miracle
So I may lie in your arms again!
For You are the Sun,
the Moon and the Stars me!
You are the only one I desire
from the depths of my heart!
Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze
Trying follow the footsteps
of an unforgettable Love
that'll bring me back again
You, my Beloved!
5. Her Orphaned Throne
Destiny turned the page another side in my book of life
"He who once was artless like a child
had face the blackest night!"
While I was unaware, she must have silently faded away
"Whereas his shadow walks the Earth
in restless search for the Queen"
As the cold begins bite, in nightmare's realm I lie awake
"Fading voices calling back the years
intime's deadly embrace"
Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun
"In sombre distress he's entering the hall
just find Her Orphaned Throne!"
Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne
Holding a dying sparrow in his hands
His eyes full of tears have seen the wasted land
Will she ever come again?
Ever come again?
Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi
Si sanum me facere volueritis
Suam sanctam ad sedem, ad marim
Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est
Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi
Nam hoc solo loco me Dea expectat
Passion turned out be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate
"All that was left in the end:
Forgotten echoes in a dream"
For only a fool's solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart
"Still my light shines on every move you make:
Just call my name and I'll be there!"
So cranky and blind: I did not see rashness made me lose my way
"Fragments of glass cutting through his veins:
I shall save him from this pain!"
Destiny turned the page the final chapter in my book of life
"Awake see him lie in her warm embrace:
I'm returning on my Throne!"
Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne
Holding a dying sparrow in his hands
His eyes full of tears have seen the wasted land
Will she ever come again?
Ever come again?
6. Descending Messiah
Down in the valley on a midwinter's night
Walks the crone unseen by human kind
Her weary heart longing for rest
Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief
There was a time when she was adored
And the valley was full of bliss and joy
Until the day the gaunt one appeared
He never smiled nor shed any tear
And he raised his voice:
"Behold, I'm Messiah!"
It was then she knew
Her time had come
A dream? A dream?
It's only a dream
A dream? A dream?
She lives in my dreams
The man, he spoke of commandments and sins
Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men
He'd sown the seed of mischief in their hearts
Those once proud: Now a submissive crowd
And he raised his voice: "Behold, I'm Messiah!
I'm the son of god: I come in fire!
My kingdom come, my will be done!"
It was then she knew
Her time had come
A dream? A dream?
It's only a dream
A dream? A dream?
She lives in my dreams
Now the blind are leading the blind
Independence and wisdom
exchanged for ignorance and minority
Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free
But still no one dared raise a hand against the crone
They were aware - despite his sermons -
that she still held the strength and the power
And as she makes her way through centuries and decades
She waits for human kind awake and shake off the chains of Messiah
In patience she walks the world in search for those
Who uphold the memenof the Golden Age
While in his church, in fitful sleep,
tormented by nightmares
Lies Messiah in fright of the dark
The demons he raised strike the blind with fear
were not just a mirage
They've become alive haunt Messiah
end creation's devastation
The senseless sacrifice
She, the Weaver
weaves the veil of damnation!
And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising
avenging angels of doom
Called by the crone
The wandering ones seek for vengeance
awaiting the last stand
The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning
Night calls inbeing decline
And up in the skies
The crone in the midst of silence
Armageddon has now begun!
And out of his dreams Messiah pleas:
"Goddess, have mercy upon me!"
"Misguided prophet
See my scythe
Descending over you!"
Down in the valley beneath the river of time
Sits the crone remembering human kind
Now winter's gone and springtime has come
And all the ashes are washed away...
