Wretched Blues

Walking
Slowly
Distilled blood
Designed to never fail
Sedate and pure
Cold by choice
Stylized pain
I am feeling blue
Lacerated
And swallowed
Down below
I was fearless but now I'm screaming scared
In nothingness
In this emptiness
So I let this void to fill up my heart
Of fire and endless resistance
Where shadows bite like flames
They sing of fire and endless resistance
Where echoes call your name
Medicated and ready
To accept life
As it comes and as it ends
Expectations
And the highest of hopes
You're supposed to be happy
When everything around us
Is alive and green
Of fire and endless resistance
Where shadows call your name
Of fire and endless resistance
Where echoes bite like flames
Forevermore
Hollow men on hollow ground
Crushed bones and bruising souls
Multiple substance abusers

Departures

Today all colours are bleeding
Across the ocean
I am sorry I couldn't stay
How does it feel to own what you are
To unstitch your heart without causing a flood
To fall but never ceasing to believe
In light taking over darkness
To breathe life in serenity
If only I knew how to forgive
If only I knew how to let go
If only I knew how to own what I am
Galaxies away, I am riding the waves of the lost
Lead this ship astray, make me hate you again
Fear, trust, guilt, love
In the grip of a coming storm
I am sinking under the weight of a troubled sun
When bitterness conquered the heart
And left us crawling in the cold
Screamed worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower
Always too soon, always too late
Screamed worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower
Always too soon, always too late, always in between
If only I knew how to forgive
If only I knew how to let go
If only I knew how to own what I am

Aurora

Could I be your light
When you are afraid?
Could I be the reason
When you're asking why?
I could be a mistress for your lonely nights
I would give you wings
I am the gateway
To another life
You are on your way
To a better place
Descending weight
Aroused by the warmth
Like a moth circles the lantern
You are calling us like a drug
Everything is covered in white
You can hear the silence
Your heart stopped beating
But you still keep walking
Feeling lighter than air
You are one with the sky
Now you understand
You are a frozen star
Lower your armour
Release the pain
Cry like a newborn
You are free again
There is no violence
In surrounding darkness
There are no laws
In this chaos of colours
This weary burden
Of eternal winter
Fading away
Aurora

Disembodied Voices
05:36

A fiery rain is keeping me awake
With every drop killing another promise
Mind's drifting in nothingness
Life in circles
And I know that not so long from now
Hope will conquer all
They said time heals
In a year or so you'll be alright
Time doesn't heal
It only makes you forget
Mind's drifting in nothingness
Life in circles
And I know that not so long from now
Hope will conquer all
Tomorrow's a way out
From all of my graves
Tomorrow's a way out
From all of this
From all of my graves
With a thousand snakes at my feet I rise
With death in my eyes
Run with the speed of light
Until hope conquers all
A fiery rain is keeping me awake
With every drop killing another promise

Electra Complex

Slowly blinking light
Calls you home
Where your bloodline began
And where the meadows bathe in a cold morning sun
No place like other
It's so easy to breathe
And you felt the closeness of her
Yet you knew she was long gone
Tied your eyes
And the light won't hurt you
And kept the secret deep inside
Waiting for a closure
There is no remorse in your eyes
Only anger can keep you alive
And memories of a view from the past
No such thing as you are
Unique creation from the heart
And I felt the closeness of you
But I knew you were gone
Tied my eyes that the light wouldn't hurt me
And carried the secret inside
You tasted the venom
And felt the teeth and claws
Bared more than anyone dares
Swayed between real and unreal
You tasted the venom
And felt the whip and the chains
Bared more than anyone
Swayed between real and unreal
Teared open your mother's ribcage
Took out her beating heart
Looked deep into her dying eyes and asked
â€Was I ever worth of this?â€
Freak of nature
You tasted the venom
And felt the teeth and claws
Bared more than anyone dares
Swayed between real and unreal
Now you are here to show us why
A broken heritage should never be shown
Now you are here to tell the secret
Why some things should never be born
Teared open your mother's ribcage
Took out all her love
Looked deep into her dying eyes and asked
â€Is this my price?"
Freak of nature

Stones and Pillars
04:47

Crawl my way through growel and crust
The hardest job I've ever had
Your heart is heavy but so is mine
As I swore to you once you're never gonna walk alone
Placing this image of a man
In between stones and pillars
Deep in the shadows
Armed and protected from curious eyes
I'll keep walking till my feet give out
And my veins are dry like that wishing well
I still have purpose, one task to do
It's like wandering without a compass
But I'm still searching for you
Misery
It is our curse
Desperation
Feels like drowning in shallow waters
In between stones and pillars
Found some burned wood and six rusty nails
Somehow I knew exactly what I'm supposed to do
Building this monument for us to remember
What was it like when there was peace
Misery
It is our curse
Desperation
Feels like drowning in shallow waters
Misery
It is our curse
Desperation

Anchored

In your dead city
There was never enough light for all of us
In your dead city
The absence of its soul made me want to leave
Into the unknown
Feel the fever piercing through your mind
Into the unknown
This is the last time you will ever see me burn
Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Only a few miles from home now
A rousing fire in my eyes
Closer to salvation
Free from the weight of you
Let me drown to light with my ghosts
Let me drown to light
Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Promised to fight
Till I meet myself again
Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Till I meet myself again
Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left
Unable to criticize
Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left
Unable to compromise
Seal my mouth
All screams quieted down
Seal my mouth
And feel the fever rising
Innocent lies
A love that never dies
Will you catch me when I fall
Crimson eyes
A light that never blinds
Promised to fight
Till I meet myself again

The Knife
06:19
|

Try to stand up
Can't feel your feet
Trying to survive
You have no will to live
You want to get out
Walk through that door
Too weak to seek for help
But you know you have to try
Just one more time
Waiting for the end
Or a change
Direction
'Cos you know you are ready to take everything you get
You get nothing done
Emotionally broken
You feel sick
When you find out that your best friend is a liar
Like we all are
This is not the first time
When I'm in this condition
And it's not the last time
When I promise to change everything
Another year
Another wasted season
A decent boy holds the line alone
Another day
Another wasted hour
I'm standing on the edge of open grave
Let the shovel sing
Squeeze all the anger into a box
Seal it tight and bury it deep
Squash all your wisdom and light up the skies
Rub the blade till your fingers bleed
They preach about family and love
Yet in the end nothing's sacred
Halos are fading
This is not the last time
When I'm bound to take the step
And it's not the first time
When I promise everything
This is not the first time
When I'm in this condition
And it's not the last time
When I promise to change everything
Another round
Another empty bottle
That same boy tries to be a man
Another prayer
Another pointless promise
I'm standing on the edge of open grave
Let the shovel sing
Spilling lies upon your father's grave
Let the shovel sing

Long Way to the Graves
07:39
|
|||
When everything is said and done
And there's finally some time to breathe
You are overwhelmed by the calm
Senses focused for the one and only you love
I keep you safe at any cost
You must keep moving on until everything is lost
There's nothing that could break us apart
No sudden moves to shake your ground
There's no one who could make you complete
You've got a long way to the graves
One lie could tear us apart
And one look could change everything
Even your heart
Fragile life can be lost in a flash
You have grieved enough, you have to stand up
There's nothing that could break us apart
No sudden moves to shake your ground
There's no one who could make you complete
You've got a long way to the graves

Elämä on tulta
En jaksa enää juosta
Hakekaa minut pois täältä
Tehkää päivistäni arvokkaita
Elämä
Tulta
En jaksa enää juosta
Elämä
Tulta
En kanna enää huolta

Ghost Brigade Jyväskylä, Finland
Finland's GHOST BRIGADE haunts the spaces between worlds. Their heavy, mournful music is the sound of dusk; mining the distinctive Finnish sound of sorrow and the vast, heavy drone of the post-metal cosmos. Plaintive vocals sing songs of loss, and cloak both a sonic and emotional weight that resonates deeply. ... more
