Come to me, your weary masses for I am your savior,
your martyr,
your friend.
Cry on my shoulder, do not ask of me.
Pour out your greatest fears,
I will respond with a smile and a nod....
with a whisper of advice, not too loud now,
with a friendly face.
Yet when finally alone, I find a sinking feeling of despair.
Lost in the ether, nowhere to be found.
I am lost without you, my fellow.
Distracting me from knowing myself,
getting to know deep within. I’ll discover....
I don't like the person I have become.

I wonder where he is right now
Wandering paths unknown
I ponder: is he proud of me?
I wish I could see his face
Closure never came, taken so young
Leaving me fatherless, guided by Luna
Like a ship without a sail
Seeking truth blindfolded
Chorus:
As I approach the forty third year
I have to know that my life is not his
I have to know that I am in control
I will not die, I will not die
Never knowing
Always guessing
Seeking truths behind closed doors
Who am I?
Solitary
Grief cannot raise me.
Never getting
The chance to see
What he means to me

Ego: I’m too young to die
True Self: You have to survive
Cast away the thoughts of YOU
And a new you will be reborn!
E: But what about the old me?
The me who brought me to this place?
Without that I cannot be!
TS: Trust your self-forged chrysalis
Emergence is Imminent
E: Will I have learned?
How will I remember?
TS: The power of the paradox predicts
That the very thought of growth
Is enough to propel you forward
Chorus:
Partial suicide
Advancement
Partial suicide
Too late to turn back
Partial Suicide
These thoughts are not real
Partial Suicide
When you are silent it speaks
E: I am overwhelmed
The deluge is conquering for me
I haven't the strength to hold it back
TS: NO! give in to it NOW!
Let it consume you
From the ashes you will rise!

It all seems clear to me now
My unicorn is my demise
Smiling to my grave
Leaving emptiness to lie in my wake
Chorus
In that open field
I am feeling so calm, serene
Yet in my natural state
Anger rage is pushed away
In that Open field
So easy for me to exist
Yet There is something more than this
life of calm, peace, stability
In that Open Field
Vulnerability and challenge
Contains the silence
We’ve chased away again
In that Open Field
Moving gently towards insanity
The silent watcher is in control
Waiting for me to slip and fall towards death
Waiting for me to slip and fall towards death
END CHORUS
Finally the silence succumbs me
I have wanted this all along
Time has passed me by
Yet finally the voices are quiet
My time was wasted on thoughts
that were not my own
Circling like vultures waiting for death
Here I am now forever at peace
Just another dusty shell
On the other side of silence
Just another dusty shell
On the other side of silence

I look upon you now, withered and old
Meaningless
A trusted entity for years
Now obsolete
Those that worship you will see
Your promises will not come true
There are other ways to show praise
Nature, Human potential, and celestial
Chorus:
But your mind is closed
Forever in the past
A gallery of decay
Burning away
A gallery of decay
Your time is over now, let us go!
Look to the skies!
Through the clouds you’ll see!
Beauty beyond all compare
That is where the truth lies! That is where the truth lies!
Open your eyes and you’ll see!
Open your eyes and you’ll see!

Inertia (An Open Letter)
06:15

I know I am to blame
(Not entirely true)
I know you are to blame
(Not entirely true)
We drifted apart
Across the years
I let you be angry
I played the martyr
I am not sure what I learned
But I know it will not happen again
It just cannot
Chorus:
Inertia carries me forward
Learning from my mistakes
Being compassionate and forgiving
Yet never forgetting the past
The guilt is strong in me
The weight is on my shoulders
The truth of the demise
Will forever elude me
I want you to be happy
But at what price?
I know I did my best
I’m better off without you
Repeat chorus

supported by 37 fans who also own “The Tyranny of Time”
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.
