one word: amazing

Who needs titles anyway?

If you ever feel useless, remember there are people like me, who post things noone sees, reads, or appriciates. Yet in a surge of longing for acknowledgement and to flee the loneliness you and I still post it. So take this message *that you obviously will not read* as a sign, that you’re not the only one with such a problem, but apparently still alone ...

For the letter B: Before the Dawn

Deadsong

The container of my soul was severed from my shell At birth I was stigmatized by fires of hell This hollow space inside is growing still It's going for the kill Beneath the blood red sky the song was born The sky was bleeding when I sang her the deadsong By my burning cradle The lullaby of death was sung by dark angels The daughters of flame She slept under my wing A cold embrace Death's loyal servant now filled with pain Forever haunted by her angelic face By my burning cradle The lullaby of death was sung by dark angels The daughters of flame These chains Hold me down Down on this frozen ground In this world where death walks the earth The sign of reaper given in birth By my burning cradle The lullaby of death was sung by dark angels The daughters of flame

For the letter A: Agalloch

In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Through vast valleys I wonder To the highest peaks On pathways through a wild forgotten landscape In search of God, in spite of man 'til the lost forsaken endless. . . This is where I choose to tread Fall. . .so shall we fall into the nihil? The nothingness that we feel in the arms of the pale In the shadow of the grim companion who walks with us Here is the landscape Here is the sun Here in the balance of the earth Where is the god? Has he fallen and abandoned us? As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand The fire in my heart is forged across the land Here at the edge of this world Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . . Then God is not dead I walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be done An offering of crimson flowed into the water below A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away . . .like every hope I've ever had. . . . . .like every dream I've ever known. . . It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea. . . . . .wash away. . . . . .fade away. . . Here is the landscape Here is the sun Here at the edge of the earth Where is the god? Has he fallen to ruin? As I'm stalked by the shadow of death's hand My heathen pride is scarred across the land

„Listen to the pain. It’s both history teacher and fortune teller. Pain teaches us who we are, Wade. Sometimes it’s so bad we feel like we’re dying, but we can’t really live until we die a little, can we?“

[Faust:] "What? Do you mean that words are greater yet than man?" [Mephistopheles:] "Indeed they are." [Faust:] "Then what of longing? Affection, pain or grief? I can't describe these, yet I know they are in my breast. What are they?"" [Mephistopheles:] "Without substance, as mist is." [Faust:] "In that case man is only air as well!"

Goethe, Faust

"The darkness will drain all the pleasure and pain

And delete all emotions inside of me"

All I can feel is the beat of my heart And I count every breath that I take The darkness will drain all the pleasure and pain And delete all emotions inside of me

Regret as a friend Misery as company in this deserted place

Black Sun Aeon, Solitude (via dayofdarkness)

#Lyric Quotes #regret #misery

Our naked and cynical stare As we drink from the night itself Eternal madness Eternal myth Reconstruction from within Eternal slumber Eternal sleep Reconstruction from within

At the Gates, As we drink from the night itself
