lyrics

I sense your life is slowly fading
I hold you in my many arms
Could I see a face through the mask of flesh
A spirit that is worthy of my name?
In the future come what may
If the mist will ever leave
Cover soil infertile, overgrown
The name is all you have
I know the light is swiftly fading
Broken cages on the ground
Wrapped in wraithlike white and violet blue
But somehow your blood’s no longer red.
Can you hear these arrow words?
Can they pierce your wooden skin?
Be that as it may, I won’t leave
The web that I call home
Void between the burning and the drowning
Where my loyalties collide?
The roots were gnawed, and vines were cut
Is there nothing left of us to see?
I spoke as the thunder
My child you have become
What your fathers have never dreamed
This legacy is gone
And this path has been tread before
The breath of man it’s heard
Through the haze of the garden’s path
I hear your dying words.

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

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
