One obstacle, it's fear
A fear that controls me
It stops me from moving on
It drives me to emptiness
An emptiness as dark as my mind
As dark as I see my life
How will my life be, so dark and empty, so hopeless,
No one will help me
I will still see the sun
The only light to guide me to nothingness
The only warmth I'll feel
Along with the moon and its cold nights.
And when suicide is no longer an option
But the only way out
When I'll be left alone
The fear will have won
And I'll be left behind
Losing everything,
Deserving everything

Absence of Light

Do you feel good within...
within the hell... the hell of your lies?
You're only a tormented mind searching for revenge
I even think you lied when telling that your life was so cruel
You live each day drowned in your personal misery
Not Refusing to wake up from the sleep you hardly get every night
Awaken you live your own nightmare
And the nightmares of your dreams make your life even worse
Awaken you live your own nightmare
Which one's better, the night or the day?
You consume every life attracting them with your tragedies.

I hate myself
One fucking coward
Didn't you realize I was talking about myself?
Empty words behind the mask
I'm only trying to run away
Trying to run escape from dispair
Hiding fear inside a box
For which only I have the key
It's never empty
And some day it will collapse
And I will have to face my demons
Or run away forever
Or run away forever
Escape and leave it all behind
Who knows if I'll ever pay for it
Tired to lose my time
Of wasting my miserable life
I have no more than this
---
**A wide emptiness as the one of space and sea.
Worldly depths in my mind.
A long way between the dark and the endless path of fear.
The end of this massive agony I can not see**
---
I hate myself
One fucking coward
Didn't you realize I was talking about myself?
I am afraid of life, that's why I choose death
Reality hurts me
Looking at it it's like cutting myself
Thinking of it it's like injuring myself.
Reality hurts me
Who knows if I'll ever pay for it
Tired to lose my time
Of wasting my miserable life
I have no more than this
---
**A wide emptiness as the one of space and sea.
Worldly depths in my mind.
A long way between the dark and the endless path of fear.
The end of this massive agony I can not see**
---
It consumes me and I let myself be trapped by the limbs,
Which, without noticing, have been surrounding me
It consumes me and I let myself be trapped by the limbs,
Which, without noticing, have been surrounding me
I am afraid of life, that's why I choose death
Reality hurts me
Looking at it it's like cutting myself
Life hurts me
Thinking of it it's like injuring myself
Reality hurts me
i am afraid of life, that's why i choose death
Reality hurts me
Looking at it, it's like cutting myself
Life hurts me
Thinking of it it's like injuring myself
Reality hurts me

Golden Blood Sea
07:41

The sea is stained with blood and gold
by a dying sun that burns so red,
for the battles at the edges of Earth.
This scent of life, one nature that embraces
these ungrateful humans
Killers of life.
The coming night nothing good is to bring, too much time to think.
One tormented soul who finds in the sea a refuge of peace.
A sky and sea of crimson and gold,
he thinks on what could have been prefering to be the observant rock [on which waves break] x2
The light of the beacon can not yet compete with the brightness of sunlight which refuses to hide.
And without waiting for the night, he cried, with the melody of a song in his head,
Such a beautiful song, as the one before his eyes, so beautiful as the land he stood on.
One heart full of beauty, of life and scars and ashes.
One heart full of beauty, of life and scars and ashes.

The story repeats itself
The sadness fills up my soul
The loneliness follows me
Everything was written down
Everything for being useless
Without mercy for the weak ones
Finding an weird happiness in loneliness
The singular and whimsical pleasure of nostalgia
Downcast, the hours pass
I don’t dare to move an ounce
I don’t feel cold, I feel nothing
Too depressed for that privilege
Too tired to cry again
No more tears, only real sadness
Surrender, resignation
Too dark to see
To dark to walk
Too tired to cry again
No one else by my side but these notes
I am lonely again and I deserve it
The music, melancholy of an inspiration moment
Sadness makes me happy
This slow melody
No more tears, only real sadness
Surrender, resignation
Too dark to see
To dark to walk
Too tired to cry again
Loneliness, sadness, pessimism and self-destruction
Treacherous loneliness
I trick myself to think that I am fine
While something is eating me up, consuming me from the inside
I realise again... again where I am
Between the emptiness and the void
Without achieving anything, without anything achieved
Losing everything
Loneliness,pessimism and self-destruction
It’s a cold night and I can’t remember having smiled
Loneliness, pessimist and self-destruction
Your nights inspire me this grey condition.
Loneliness, pessimist and self-destruction
Your nights inspire me this grey condition.
Loneliness, pessimist and self-destruction
It’s a cold night and I can’t remember having smiled

.- -... ... . -. -.-. .
by Mesarthim
supported by 27 fans who also own “Absence of Light”
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian)

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 21 fans who also own “Absence of Light”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

Altäre der Vergänglichkeit
by Wrack
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody.
go to album
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.

An outstanding slab of atmospheric black metal, “Sisyphus” cannily blends texture and terror for a gripping final product.
