HOF ÚR HOLDI

Ég er eldurinn sem brennur burtu fortíð
Ég er öxin sem sker í sundur fjötra
Ég er ísinn sem læknar öll þín svöðusár
Ég er beinin sem að ösku munu verða
Ég er ekkert að engu og varða að neinu: Hof úr holdi.
Sárin eru farin
Biðin er á enda
Ég mun ekki blæða
Ég mun ekki bíða.
Hin hljóða sorg, situr yfir skógi.
Hinir miklu Hamrar, halda uppi himni.
Hin fullkomna þögn, ég staldra við
Hvað er hið endanlega svar?
Ég spyr hið djúpa myrkur
Hljóð berst úr rökkrinu og segir :
Ekkert sem lifði
Ekkert sem dó
Ekkert sem Geymdist
Ekkert sem vó
Við hina magnþrungu á
Við hina yfirgnæfðu þögn
Ég finn andardráttinn slakna
Ég finn hljóðið magnast.
Því hverfur og endar allt...
Svartholið myndast og myrkrar að
Haldinu er sleppt... og mér er kalt.

SHADOWS THAT YOU CAST
06:08

I received a prize
A kiss on my neck from two burning lips
Too late I realize
How much it was worth, off my skin it slips
It flickers and dies
Just like those you cast away
Please just let the grass
Cover up my flesh til my heart's asleep
Time is meant to pass
Everything to lose and nothing to keep
You'll find out at last
Why your friends could never stay
Got to pick an eye
To offer the gods to become a king
I'm still gonna cry
I'm still gonna see it was for nothing
Everything's a lie
Until we return to clay
You struggle, you strive
Somehow still afloat on your frail ideal
How do you survive
When depression taints everything you feel
Let it go and dive
Deep into the ocean grey
Give up on your pride
Your ego's a chain that just weighs you down
Empires collide
On the tiny one that would wear the crown
You cannot decide
Which way leads you to decay
Shadows that you cast
Make you feel so small in a world so cold
Finding peace at last
You stand all alone and you feel so old
Glimpses of the past
Fade into another day
Breaking off the ties
Off with all the guilt, off with all the shame
Off with all the lies
Shake it off, you will never be the same
Comes as no surprise
As you watch them burn away

UNBROKEN
05:27

|

Trembling, the sunset withers past.
Seeking, long lost winter nights
hoping, my visions will find you at last.
We were one, we were true.
We hunted, we gathered, we lived.
Unbroken we stand, forever.
Darkness closes in, mystical goddess.
pulling us in, under her veil.
The suffocating hand, holding command.
Your presence fades,
as I hold you in my arms.
Asleep you rest,
as you take your last breath.

EILÍFI DROTTINN HOLDS

Eilífi Drottinn Holds
Eitthvað sem þú sagðir mér
þegar ég var of ungur til að skilja,
heyrði allt sem ég vildi
og hugsaði með mér:
"Ég mun aldrei gera;
sömu mistökin."
En hér er ég,
Með troðfullar hendur
Af þrá og eftirsjá.
Ég er hér enn
Þótt margstunginn í bakið
og alblóðugur.
Berskjaldaður
ég horfi fram á við
Glorhungraður
ég skil ekkert eftir
Óblygðaður
ég geri það sem ég vil.
Ævafornar rústir fortíðar
grafa sig upp og endurvekja
minningar um týnda tíma,
tíminn bregst og endurtekur sig
stoðir veruleikans svigna
af svikulum gjörðum þínum.
Tómarúm kulda og myrkurs
veittu mér þinn styrk
eilífa gyðja ljóss,
tímarúm hið dulda angurs
hneigðu þig og krjúptu
eilífi drottinn Holds.

Forgotten By Time
by Thy Dying Light
supported by 49 fans who also own “Unbroken”
Absolutely strong, black and bitter, like a cup of good old coffee or a properly packed pipe of strong tobacco. The album won't let you go unless you listen through it since the very first minute to the very last one, sunken in the frozen obsydian abyss. 10/10.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 48 fans who also own “Unbroken”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
