Before You Know

We are the ones who'll starve
Living in ignorance
Abbreviate our words to save on borrowed time
Obsessed and unaware
We all abuse ourselves
I've done the same, too long
and now I'm suffering
Looking at you, it's real
Beginning of the end
Of all the things we loved
Embraced over the years
With our shattered hands
Our eyes will turn to stone
There'll be no more tomorrow
Everything we live for gone
Abandon all the others to stand a chance
Leave behind your friends
Like the not so distant future
Life on your own is bleak
Slowly, it attacks you
And before you know
You cannot recover
In the end we are disabled

Beneath the Theater

Hiding from the rain late one winters night
I walk in the cold to see if I can see you in the light
Although you're long gone
They help me believe, tell me where to go
Under cover of the darkness you come out
And by night only will you show your face
They may think it's strange, ignoring whispers
Denial of a few, a few too many times
Waiting in the dark, whiskey by my side
I expect to see what I do not believe
Shivering inside, beneath the theater
Where those who used to drink threw their time away
And I think it's strange to be here waiting
Where nothing is alive
Your cold breath shakes me
Usher me to my place
And leave me be
In complete oblivion until I saw you in a photograph
Your eyes burned sweetly into the lens
The lace on your dress preserved in time
Before me in such clarity
The blood, the flesh, the bone still there
But somehow gone

Through Eyes of Gold
07:16

To know what he knows now before it was too late
Would change the air he breathes from dust to something more like smoke
It's quite a burden
To see his face
To feel that curing smile touch him
Forgiveness is granted, so it's assumed
But left behind a debt remains
The seeds of a soul were sewn
Back into the earth
Carried gently to the ground
Through his smiles he lives discretely in denial
Rusty leaves among the soil, in cold spring morning winds
He speaks of him through eyes of gold
And rests at night before a picture on the wall
If he could share his deepest thoughts
That boy would know
He is not, he was never alone

Anticipation
07:39
|

|
In confusion I'm shaken
You were trusted with a key
Although nothing's missing
I never
Expected such a crime
Not even from you
Your surveillance will haunt us
You know someone's watching
Every minute of the day
And find yourself hiding
Our possessions mean nothing
It's your prying little eyes
That have taken the warmth
Forever
When we swallow our fear to roam free
Never for a moment will we enjoy the peace
Confined to our home
Like a prison we cannot leave
An institution to punish us for your deceit

Succumbing to Violence
09:16
|
|||
|
Lying still and crumpled on the ground
She was protecting herself
Suffering his cruel embrace
Forgiving each time he had never felt so alive
Her cries swept fiercely across the wilderness
And like a moth to a flame she clung to him
Screaming in agony in the moonlight, crying out to anyone
Escape, impossible
No time to question a call for assistance
I had to shut my eyes and run
Unprepared and so afraid as I hastened to the abomination
Too late to rescue her
Born into the cycle of malevolence
Unknowing of life away from fear
Watching everyone around her succumbing to violence
The only way to go

A Moment to Waste
05:20
|
|||
|
It hurts my eyes
An endless gaze takes away my hope
The icy windows right beside me will admit no light
It's bright outside, air is dull like smoke
Fills the dimness that consumes my time
They say that time is precious, unfortunately it's always wasted
Spent staring at a harsh light, yet as dim as possible, against our will
With a hunch in my back and a frown on my face,
I drag my feet, so I won't complain
I think the mind chain is broken
Its weakest link completely forgotten
Rusting in the dew
They say that time is precious, unfortunately it's always wasted
Spent staring at a harsh light, yet as dim as possible, it drags me in.

Enter the Soil Wellington, New Zealand
Enter the Soil is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Justin Chorley. Balancing progressive influences from early Opeth through to the delightfully dreary doom metal goodness of bands like Ahab and My Dying Bride, Enter the Soil is brooding and emotional, telling musical tales with a sound grounded in evocative harmonies, punctuated with heavy rhythms and a mixture of growls and soft vocals. ... more

supported by 7 fans who also own “Hirsute EP”
one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you.

Pleasant melodic and heavy funeral doom. Obviously talented. A few but very well done tranquill accoustic bits. I would listen to a whole album of their accoustic stuff - that's how good they are.

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.
