lyrics

I saw beneath me on my path one day
Tiny drops of blood that led the way
I took my compass and every map I knew
I sought its origin and mean to see this through
Who knew when in the course of fate
The path became the purpose of my life
Before me ghosts of those I thought were mine
My identity balanced on the point of a knife

I followed trails unto the conifer line
What came before has since failed to define
It was a miracle these woods have let me pass
Through this grove of bones and all-ensnaring grass
I found my treasure in a deeply hidden trove
On the bright side of the dark apparent grove
The cross and hammer both have fallen from me
I’ve seen the forest through the ancestral tree

I descended from these phantoms lost to time
Here I stand and there’s no doubt that I’m alive
Branches traced have simply disappeared in Pines
In these veins the blood that is no one’s but mine

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
