about

(I still cannot see how someone could zealously defend their ideal without questioning it at all. Therefore, it was difficult for me to write the lyrics of this song. It is the song of pure white energy. A song sung by self-composed fanatics of any given cause who believe in its total infallibility. People so proud, so convinced, and so unmoving they become as living gargoyles defending the temples of their belief.)

lyrics

Eyes watching from above
wings stretched across the wall
here I will never watch in vain
I born of harsher fires
I bathed in colder rains
no harm will come to us this day
form I am forced to take
honor I will receive
though I desire no great price
love does not keep me here
duty, I show no fear
I am a sanctified device

I am the only one who keeps the devils at bay
awake I stand on guard, aware, atop this place
a sculpture given life that burns through eyes of grey
made to watch over all under the roof I grace

bright stars my only fire
rain is my only wine
I need no comfort in my role
I born of mother's bone
I pride of father's hand
here to defend their mortal souls
all rest is for the weak
closed eyes are for the blind
for there is work yet to be done
steadfast against the storm
eternal at its post
though I may be the only one

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel

Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel
go to album
Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel

No stars, only full dark

Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
