The Wanderer

Among worthlessness a glimmer remains
Hope faintly gleaming from an unreachable distance
And what if I fall short of capturing this solace?
For centuries I've stared, forlorn
Not a moment closer
Am I already left behind?
Has the light withered and died?
Away, take my soul far from here
I depart, leaving no trace of me
If I'm gone, no mark will remain
As there's nothing left of me to leave behind
No living being will remember my name
There are no songs to be sung for the nameless

Age Upon Age
13:00

Beneath this vision of beauty rests a tomb
The forgotten exalted laid to rest
But what of these gods will be remembered
When all has withered and gone?
No gods remain
Age upon age will slowly forget
So falls the rain
Washing clean the earth
Of those hiding from the truth
No gods are here
Nor were they there
But this beauty will always remain
As will death
Until the final sun has set
A bitter cruelty resounds through every sentient being
Don't mourn this passing
For they won't mourn you
As time obscures everything you once knew
Behold the dawning
Of a new age
Unwatched by the gods you hail
Time moves ever onwards with or without you
But this world sustains
(I also repeat some lines like an idiot.)

There is no beauty left here...
by Exiled From Light
supported by 13 fans who also own “Of Solitude and Solemn”
De l'action de descendre sciemment vers le néant au constat simple, lancé dans un dernier soupir, comme si on était mis devant le fait accompli : There is no beauty left here... Mais contre toute attente, ce chant du cygne d'Exiled from Light n'est pas une acceptation résignée de la mort. Mort (je parle de l'artiste) est animé de l'énergie du désespoir, cette énergie qui fait accomplir des choses extraordinaires quand tout est perdu et ça rend son DSBM très beau, paradoxalement. Indispensable !!
