lyrics

Under a star-lit sky
Over plains of white
A stumbling stag
Roams through the night.
A trail of crimson
Paints the snow.
Unwilling artist,
How holy you roam.

I saw myself
At the water's edge.
A pale and failing figure,
A reflection of our end.
When the world is starved
And there's nothing left to take.
A rotting foundation,
A human fate.

Under a star-lit sky
Over plains of white
A stumbling stag
Roams through the night.
A trail of crimson
Paints the snow.
Unwilling artist,
How lonely you roam.

In a grove of rot
He lays to rest
To replenish the soil,
An inheritance of death.

Unwilling artist,
Covered in snow.
Blanket of sleep,
Bring him home.
What is left here
But empty remains?
Our bodies are withered,
Our minds bent on pain.
To always remember
To preserve each scar.
Forgiveness is weakness;
Repent and run far.

I sought to be free
Of this human condition
But it touches each corner
Under this clouded sky.

The heart is a catalyst
And we are crusading blindly.
Be free of this endless cycle.
Oh stag, run free and run far.

A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time
by Obsidian Tongue

supported by 112 fans who also own “The Stag”

L'obsidienne est une roche de couleur noire et son aspect vitreux absorbe le regard ; mais sous la lumière, elle produit de magnifiques reflets arcs-en-ciel. C'est ce degré de magnificence qu'Obsidian Tongue vise dans A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time. Si la production est toujours rugueuse, le duo américain met l'accent sur les mélodies, plus profondes et mélancoliques. Progressives, les pistes se rallongent et se condensent. Un bel opus qui frôle, sans l'atteindre encore, la perfection ! Jordan Vauvert

What beautiful piece of black metal. Hypnotic and atmospheric. An intense musical experience with some folk/doom influences. It feels like walking through a finnish landscape on a cold winter night. Sælzer Bub
