Grassy lands, covered with trees
Their kingdom lies in these roots
But once again, from beyond the seas
I have come for murders and loots
Burning lands, covered with flames
Last remains of forgotten wars
I'm the one I should blame
If all I bring in death are my scars
Why don't these lands cry for our sins?
Silent witnesses of our madness
One war ends, an other begins
In a circle of infinite sadness
Winter lands, covered with snow
My life flees through my wound
Alone, spied by an impatient crow
In his eyes I see my own doom
Darkened skies, covered by stars
Here I am at last, resting forever
I dreamt of power above all altars
When all I needed was a shelter
Why don't these lands cry for our sins?
Silent witnesses of our madness
One war ends, an other begins
In a circle of infinite sadness

I’m the fire that was sent to purify their felonies
I’m the hammer that was crushing the heads of thy enemies
You can scream, you can squeal, and no matter how you die,
You will see your demise out of the corner of your eye
I was everything you ever wanted me to be
All the kings and gods I killed never made me bend the knee
My death is not the end, I will be reborn anew
Slaughter is the only thing I know, it’s my job, it’s what I do
Heir of my ancestors’ roots, guardian of the traditions
I always followed my rules, never failed in my missions
Behemoth, I led a thousand armies to victory
Destiny written in blood and dust, I kept my liberty
As I finally roam the valley of eternity
Making my way to the temple of war and insanity
I’ll celebrate the chaos by beheading the gatekeeper
...I’ll even defy the grim reaper
(Unwanted legacy)
It's a pride I will never forfeit,
A life which will resonate in eternity
(Shut the fuck up)
You can vanish like the rest of them
(Fuck you)
I enjoyed it, whether you like it or not
(I despise what you represent)
(You will be forgotten like the rest of them)
(Leave now, and never come back)

I’m tired,
Tired to justify my purpose
And the path I’ve chosen
I’m tired
Lost in the wind,
My bones frozen,
With the crows waiting,
I hope for a quick relief
Through the storm,
Lunar phantoms,
Fixing me intensely,
I’m not alone anymore
All around me,
Like floating corpses,
All of them gathered,
Raped, burnt or hanged,
United in their fate,
And silently,
By a unanimous jury,
I’m sentenced… to death
They haunt me,
Lanterns in the the dark,
I'm losing it,
Blinding light of thee
I'm the fallen
Of a nevergreen era,
Storms I have sown,
Lives I have stolen
Their silence is deafening,
Filthy shadows from the past,
With a coat made of bones
And a crown made of worms
The ruins I have made,
Never ending penance,
From the shadows I shall bear,
To the dawn of acceptance

Acceptance

Pain, and agony
Among the things I deserve
Play this symphony
By ripping out my spinal nerve
Sharpen your knives
And get your claws out
It fuels your anger
Without a doubt
Gouge my eyes out
Ready to face the reckoning
It’s the only route,
The only way to find meaning
And I see you from afar
With the power that lifts me up
Leading me to the North Star
I’ll be drinking from a golden cup
What’s the purpose of me being here?
It’s not what I need, is it right to disappear?
I don’t want no shimmer, let me feel this shiver
The one thing I crave, hear the speech I deliver
You want my last wish and desire?
I don’t deserve no fucking crown
I lived by the fire
And the fire must bring me down
(Let them tear my flesh)
To feel the pain I’ve inflicted
(Let them gnaw my bones)
A retribution for those I convicted
Everlasting days
Are only fit for the righteous
Don’t let me upraise
Or I would spread like a virus
(Please spare your sorrow)
For there is nothing to remember
(Slipping out of existence)
Like a dying ember
Vanishing from time and space
Forgotten in the blink of an eye
The only thing I embrace
Just let me die

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.
