The Hour Of Justice
06:50
|

Endless pain
endless fear
is for you!
…and you shall walk the path of thorns
for the rest of your miserable life
perpetual anguish horror and disdain
shall be upon you…
Scream!
Scream!
Your cries will become warning
for those of your kind
Weep!
Weep!
Your tears will become rain
washing away all the pain you have caused
We witness the moment of compensation
for all your deeds of oppression
the hour of justice is drawing nearer
avenging everyone you have abused
Veiled by scars and torn to pieces
bathed in blood and left to rot
you will be the finest exhibit
for the crowd of silent spectators
Oh, how you desired your power!
Unreachable solace is the only thing left to want
your torment tenfold
for each one violated by you
will bring us joy
just like it used to be joyful for you
Emissary of god
being his voice on earth
you’ll discover the true face of god
once he denies you his shelter
Apostle of salvation
being false prophet and liar
illusive hope spread through your lips
will perish together with your demise
You have finally become the victim
of holy lies you used as seduction
now they all return to be your doom
as the circle of vengeance is closing…
Faith – that you twisted
trust – that you smothered
innocence – that you raped
they will never be forgiven!

Lethargy
09:50
|

|
I’m chained to my mortal cage of life
surrounded by suffocating hypocrisy
but I will not share your pitiful destiny
and I will never follow your steps
the time has come to throw off the shackles
to discard pathetic life in the flock
I’m fed up with self-imprisonment!
Oh, how I hate that fucking existence!
I’ve been enlightened with an idea
that I am the force that you shall fear
if you have an intention to spit in my face
beware of me spitting back on you twice
I truly despise your sick will to rule
you’ll never be able to control me!
I shall rise as the bringer of light
to destroy your fanaticism
Let my fire be cast on you – may its flames horrify you!
Let my fire be inconvincible – may its flames petrify you!
Let it devour you in everlasting pain – like you have tried to devour me…
I want to see sheer horror in your eyes!
I was chained to my mortal cage of life
surrounded by suffocating hypocrisy
but I have finally opened my eyes
and I’m awoken from this lethargy
the circle of blindmen is all around
reaching out towards me in despair
their hands are grasping nothing but air
being a sheep is not my fate!
Trying to use your god as a weapon
god I despise the same way as you
you wish I was mindless
you wish I was fearful
yet the vision of your world
does not scare me at all
for I am my shepherd
I shall not want
Trying to impose your god’s ancient dogmas
which put sardonic smile on my face
you wish I was speechless humble obedient
your world of delusions
will never ever be mine
for I am my shepherd
I shall not want
I am my shepherd
I SHALL NOT WANT!

Liberation Bliss

Functioning as an empty shell
overgrown walking corpse of a child
why not transform into soil a seed a tree
to finally feel how it is to really be alive
walking child of a corpse
just an empty shell, just an empty shell
both a man of a shadow
and a shadow of a man
Life has reached the moment of truth
denial would be worthless
time is coming to its end for me
it's all I ever wanted
the world - what will it be without me? - the same
nothing is certain
It's unknown what the dreams are made of
doesn't matter - sweet or bitter
nothing will be revealed
until all light fades out
Descending tentacles of darkness
caress my skin with an allure
shelter is in detachment
in peaceful agony
When numbness brings the comfort
in the cocoon of nothingness
State of blissful paralysis
is the grandest reward
Mirage of wasted lifetime
of slumber in unreality
goes down the drain
in one single moment
Tempted by perverse will
to become one with the earth
feeding the cold ground
with drops of own blood
A shadow...a child
a walking whisper
a breathing disaster
Let it go - is it the only life you have?
let it die - to untie it from all lies
let it rot - cover up in dust of time
just let it go - to unveil the truth behind
Just let it go!
This is just life - let it go
listen to me
let it die - let it rot
Just let it rot
for all time
let it go - let it die
it's time to learn the pain of pride!
Let it go - the only life
let it die, just let it die
it’s your life…
An empty shell
a wasted seed
buried in soil
but it will never become a tree
A walking child of a corpse

Redemption
07:22
|
|||
|
- I am forsaken, my journey’s without purpose…
- you are nothing but a worthless, yelping mongrel!
- I am filled with anger and desperation…
- discover their power and follow the dark paths!
- I am surrounded by haunting shadows…
- scuffle and bite and try to unleash!
- help me and save me from this entrapment…
- please, let me show you the way to salvation!
This wretched world is infested with vermin
disgusting form of misplaced creation
just think of it choking on its own blood
it’s time to hasten the end of this era…!
Discard your remorse, it’s only a useless burden
which makes you drown in the bottomless sea of madness
abandon your fears and stop withholding
mercy for no one, no one is to breathe
Don’t hesitate, let your wrath guide you
as it is life that’s your worst enemy
life that has been an endless trail of failures
granting you only misery and scorn
I give you the image of profound suffering
inflicted by life and its delusions
redemption from the sin of existence
is in your hands
just reach and take it…
The time has come to enshroud humanity
in everlasting emptiness!
I give you the image of profound suffering
inflicted by life and its delusions
redemption from the sin of existence
is in your hands
LET IT BE DONE
LET IT BE DONE!

Widow Horizon
07:24
|
|||
|
In the times of desperation
your cross will be unbearable
your thoughts will now incinerate
the dawn of none, un-presence
as it was written
Have you forgotten "God is unreachable!"
and life is just weight
and go trying to be flawless
to bring out war
to all that decays
Enough of tears
the dawn is here
without a sun
without a face
...yearning to be free…
Enough of tears
the dawn is here
without the guilt
without restraint
Trying to be free
just free...free...
In the times of desperation
your cross will be inextricable
your thoughts will now incinerate
the dawn of none, un-presence
as it was written
Have you forgotten "God is unreachable!"
and life is just weight
and go trying to be flawless
to bring out war
to all that decays
Humans thought they'll be invulnerable
but life is full of surprise
there sounds the bell of all collapse
a voice has torn the sky
with flames of a day
Upon the widow horizon
the sun rises again
to bring wind just for the ashes
the story ends but we will not be here to see

Virtues of Death
10:25
|
|||
|
Drown the stars
and wretched dreams they bring upon us
lonely and cold through the lies and the spikes
still we crawl
Coming to an end is the only thing we yearn
every dawn reached is a burden we carry
as if we were pleased to be punished
over and over again!
Palls of darkness have descended
drowning us in lifeless void
the ominous mark of coming
of new eon of nothingness
Relics of old order
slowly being torn apart and scattered
draped in suffocating mist
paralyze all our senses
Scorched and barren soil is carved
with corridors of scarlet torrents
piles of ashen skulls are rising
on this altar of extinction
Breath by breath and tear by tear
wail by wail and groan by groan
everlasting condemnation
shall be upon us now
Hopefully we will all soon witness
the beauty of death itself
seduced by nothingness
we kiss the dead skin of her thighs
nothing - is all we have ever received
for the trust in the power of life and love
Breath by breath and tear by tear
wail by wail and groan by groan
everlasting condemnation
shall be upon us now

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

They keep on hitting exactly on the right spot and still get better with every new release. Impressive! So what's left except hitting that purchase button in return?

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.
