FRAILING IN THE RISING SUN // THE BIRDS SCREAMING AGAIN // BEFORE TONIGHT IS OVER // THE ROT TURNS VISIBLE // HIGH FADES ONCE AGAIN - FOLLOWED BY MINDS WITHOUT PEACE // THE FEAR COMES ONCE AGAIN. // // WE HEARD NOTHING IN REGARDS TO SMOKE // THE CALM IT NEVER RESTS // PAINFUL TO EMBRACE HORRORS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION // IN THIS STATE // // UNLOADING VOLUMES TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN // HEADS IN SHAME // EMPTY WORDS FROM MINDS TOO ADRIFT. // // I HAVEN'T WANTED TO DO THIS IN FOREVER // I FEEL THAT I CANT GO ON MUCH LONGER // BUT IN A DECAYING RUIN OF HOME // WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO?

OUT OF THE SELF-INFLECTED SLUMS // CAUGHT BY THE TERROR OF MY OWN REFLECTION // INDULGING TO ASCEND THIS DEAD LANDSCAPE // SURRENDERING TO MY WEAKENED WILL. // // EVERY NIGHT WE POISONED OURSELVES TO REACH A NEW HEIGHT WHICH HAD NO HANDLE // THE HIGH ALWAYS JUSTIFED THE SETBACKS // WE BOTH SAY NOTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS. // HOW CAN IT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS? // MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF SHIT // ABUSE IT TILL IT BECOMES NUMB (BUT NOT WITHOUT ETHEREAL PLEASURE - GIVING ME A SENSE OF WORTH) // THIS TOMB RAVAGED BY DISEASE AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT // THIS CYCLE WILL REMOVE THE VEIL OF STRENGTH // ...AND THE HORRORS WILL BEING AGAIN.
YOU CAME TO ME IN THE NIGHT // SWORE ALL WOULD BE PUT TO RIGHT.
AND I FELT YOUR TOUCH // BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH.

THIS PAST YEAR YEAR SHROUDED IN DARKNESS // HAIRS GREW FROM THE DUNES // PROGRESSING THROUGH QUICKSAND // EACH RETURN DAMPENED BY INDECISION.
BETWEEN WANTS AND HOW IT GOES // REMINDERS LESS CONVINCING // SHE RESIDES IN THE PAST ALONG WITH EVERY OHTHER DREAM. // // TEN SHOTS AND WE'RE DOWN // INHALING SCRAP IF IT'S ABOUT // INTERNAL ORGANS RUSTING // ROTTING // EXHAUSTED ENDS.
PARANOIA CREEPING IN AT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY LIFE // DREAD PROTECTING ME BUT I WISH IT'D TURN THE OTHER CHEEK // WHAT DO THEY THINK OF ME? (DO I CARE WHAT THEY THINK OF ME) // WHAT DO I THINK OF THEM? (IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL TO THEM) // THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT EVERY LIVING ACTION // ONLY A FRONT I'M FAMILIAR WITH MYSELF // I SEE IT, I STARE IT DOWN, BECAUSE IF I DON'T, THEY WILL.
I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST TIME. // ...BUT THE CALLING WILL COME AGAIN.
WITH THE CRUEL PASSAGE OF TIME // MY BODY ROTS ON THE OUTSIDE.

SILENT BLESSING // STAY CAPTIVATING ...AND PROGRESS WITH VIVID THOUGHT.
NO WORDS TO SPEAK, AND NO PHRASES TO RECALL // A LEGACY HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
LOST TO VINEGAR SYNDROME // A MARTYR FOR THE CAUSE // ARTS DISSOLVED IN TIME.
...YOUR EXPRESSIONS WILL TRANSCEND THE CELLULOID.
TO PLAY INTO THE ROLE YOU WERE BORN // CRIES ARE LOST TO THE SKY // YOUR IMAGE FORMED OF TRUTH AND THE LIE THAT'S IN FRONT OF US ALL. // IN THE EYE OF THOSE WHO LOOK BEYOND // THE CONTEMPT TO WHICH HOLDS YOU IN CHAINS // SHAPING YOUR LIFE // BEFORE YOU WERE HERE. // AND AFTER WE'RE GONE...WEAKER BUT STILL STRONG.
I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN // ...BUT THOSE AROUND ARE SO INDIFFERENT.
IF I REVERT TO WHAT'S EXPECTED OF ME - THEN I AM LIVING FREE. // THEY'LL STILL SUFFER.
THEN I'LL JOIN IN THE SEA OF BODIES, TO THE SHORES OF THEIR OWN OPPRESSION.
MARTYRS OF THE CAUSE WILL HAVE DIED FOR MY RIGHT // ...AND I'VE DONE NOTHING.
AS THE YEARS PASSED // THE RETROSPECTIVE STARS // THE WAY YOU WERE TREATED IN THE CAMERA EYE // CAUGHT ON THE NECKLINE // YOUR ENDLESS SIGHS // HOW YOU DIED FOR MY RIGHT TO LIVE // MY RIGHT TO BE.

I'M TRYING NOT TO THINK TOO MUCH OF THE PAST // YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME OF WHEN I WAS SO CRINGE OR REALLY SORE. // I DON'T TEND TO LOOK SO FAR BACK // I START TO FANTASISE, AND THINK OF ALL OF WHICH I LACK, AND ALL WHICH I'LL NEVER GET BACK.
THE SEASONS COME WITH VIVID RETELLINGS OF THINGS THAT WEREN'T QUITE AS THEY WERE // I WASN'T SO MUCH BETTER OFF THEN // ...BUT THAT'S THE LIE I'LL LIVE FOR.

MY SKIN TURNS TO A CERTAIN KIND OF COLD // BURNING - THRASHING - LOSING ALL CONTROL // I CAN'T BREAK THROUGH MY OWN - CAN'T BELIEVE MY MIND WHEN I'M ON IT .
THIS IS HOW I WILL GO DOWN IF I DON'T SORT IT OUT // EVERYONE HERE GOES DOWN UNTIL THEY COLLAPSE .
CHANGES HIT LIKE LIGHTNING // YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND AND LOVER // I MISS YOU IN THIS MOMENT // BUT NOT AS OPEN WHEN I'M SOBER .
ABOVE THE SPIRE // COMFORT IN MY CLOSED MUSCLES // DESCEND INTO THE SLUMBER NEVER TO WAKE UP .
MY NEURONS FIRED // WORDS ARE WITHOUT MERIT // YOU DANCE FREELY WITH YOUR INTACT SUFFERING .
I'M SO SICK OF BEING AFRAID.
I'M SO FULL OF THE FEAR.

There is no beauty left here...
by Exiled From Light
supported by 5 fans who also own “Before Tonight Is Over”
De l'action de descendre sciemment vers le néant au constat simple, lancé dans un dernier soupir, comme si on était mis devant le fait accompli : There is no beauty left here... Mais contre toute attente, ce chant du cygne d'Exiled from Light n'est pas une acceptation résignée de la mort. Mort (je parle de l'artiste) est animé de l'énergie du désespoir, cette énergie qui fait accomplir des choses extraordinaires quand tout est perdu et ça rend son DSBM très beau, paradoxalement. Indispensable !!

im ëmat gan líeshtam namvajno

This is a spectral haze of unrelenting and raw emotion. Of course the riffs and melodies are of the highest caliber and the way they harmonize is incredible. The soothing ambient parts represent a very organic contrast to the remaining sonic assaults. This album does have an ebb and flow feel to it which keeps it interesting. Experiencing the structure of an entire release is something I always look forward to in a new Trhä effort.
