The Day the Boy Drowned
08:18
|
|||
Slowly, licks the flow
Into your weary soul
Swallow the water
You're going to drown
Gather up the water
Through your gaping mouth
Sweet brittle child
And be at peace
Smaller than ever
A bed in the river
Your crystal eyes searching the darkness
A tired curl sweeps upon your stricken complexion
Your panic is ceased
Your heart still softly beating

The Coffin and the Moth
09:18
|
|||
Dead as I lay
Alone inside the earth
But for a moth, buried with me
I wait for my body to disappear
The dreadful beauty
Consoles my weeping heart
Bereaved of form
My soul can carry on
He staggers upon my brow
Taking his life from me
And raises his wings
So triumphantly
He lingers on
I am awake
I could hear you whisper goodbye
Now we wait for my body
To slowly disappear
The dreadful beauty
Consoles my weeping heart
Bereaved of form
My soul can carry on

My Only Creation is Gone
07:20
|
|||
The day has come
And the movement could kill me
My only creation is gone
Falling leaves will go unnoticed
While you're away
I look for comfort in the pain
Of heavy weight upon my shoulders
Stood before the congregation
Wishing time away
The pale bodies and oh, the black
Weep a mourning song for him
There in the box my son lies wasted
Victim of the earth
A small portrait in an ochre frame
Flits its wistful eyes for them

The Never Changing River
06:40
|
|||
The water flickers in the twilight
With glory as the day goes
The birds and bees
Above the trees
Singing on
Picturesque, the river rich with beauty
Defiled by the memory
A fragile dream
Among the stream
Where he drowned

The Inevitable End
10:52
|
|||
Your face is lost within my memory
My precious one, I'm sorry
I can't remember
I caress your weary head in my mind
But your curing smile is gone
Your lips a wretched blue
Your eyes roll back and seem to look right through me
Each day, I stare into a photograph
To remind me how you looked
I struggle just to see you as you were
My beloved son a cold body in my arms
My blood, regretfully a soul without a face
Your image fades
Tainted in my memory
A lifeless figure all I see
Casting leaves into the river

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
