lyrics

At the end of the day
looking to the western sky.
With nothing quite near,
and nothing to come.

I’ll let out a sigh,
so deep but calm.
I look to the sky,
blackened and grim.

Indifference, it wades
in the sea of infinity.
The stars are aligned.
but tell nothing inside.

A feeling so cold,
each time I reach a peak.
To fall straight below.
To look up once again.

Has this all been there
to find no one?
To burden this soul.
To let go of this light.

For in this dark sea,
and in these dark skies,
what light is there to hold
this soul up from below?

And at the end of the day,
I’ll look to the sky.
The sinking sun
to light what’s below.

And I’ll know why
I dive into darkness.
To swim in despair
and to dim these lights.
and to dim these lights.

This creation and all
can serve no one.
But one can serve anyone
and there can be light.

To hold inside
a thick despair
and share a gift that means nothing.
We hold silence in our hearts.

And mournful we are when all is lost.
For what cruel world, we find ourselves in.
To see such despair and isolation
only to be alone in the end.

And at the end of the day,
we are all alone
to never be satisfied
with who we had been.

At the end of the day,
we are alone
to never be satisfied
with who we had been.

A thick cloud will shroud us all
and when all the leaves have blown away,
it’s today that we will live
and tomorrow that we will die.

Echoes of the Moon recommends:

Phobos Monolith
by Mare Cognitum

Great atmospheric black metal record from Mare Cognitum Echoes of the Moon
go to album
The Ape Of God
by Old Man Gloom

The second part of Old Man Gloom's "Ape of God." It features longer atmospheric sludge metal songs that leave you with chills. I recommend all of their work as well. Echoes of the Moon
go to album
The Gorgon Tongue: Impale Golden Horn + Forbidden Planet
by Horseback

Awesome experimental album by Horseback. If you like long ambient/drone pieces that are very layered and detailed, this is one of the best I have heard. Very different from Horseback's other releases Echoes of the Moon

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
