Tombs of Tomorrow
06:07
|
|||
|
Dancing in the halls of infinity
Where death speaks inside your head
Hallowed chants that beckon darkness
Vanquish pain and wake the dead
Vanquish the pain
I can see the light now
Flickering its crimson glow
It’s utter madness in this place
Welcome to the times of woe
Welcome to the times of woe
Welcome to the times of woe
Locked in tombs of tomorrow
Will we ever see the light of today
With nothing left for us to borrow
In shadows we wither and decay
The path I lead is blinding
Another move, another trap
Everything’s so spellbinding
Follow me into the black
Caught between thralls of divinity
Where life spoke inside your head
Hallowed chants that beckoned darkness
Vanquished pain and woke the dead
Locked in tombs of tomorrow
Will we ever see the light of today
With nothing left for us to borrow
In shadows we wither and decay
Locked in tombs of tomorrow
Will we ever see the light of today
With nothing left for us to borrow
In shadows we wither and decay

Slipping Into Seclusion
05:08
|
|||
|
I hide in shadows from the living world
My escape the need to isolate
Night comes to usher me into its arms
Safe from the day that I regurgitate
Slipping into Seclusion
Such a strange disillusion
Slipping into Seclusion
Such a strange disillusion
I pray for silence to comfort my soul
Seeking an asylum in her dark embrace
The dancing devil of despondency
Comes again to rear its ugly face
Stay away from me
For I’m not the one you knew
I have lost my way again
Searching for a different view
Slipping into Seclusion
Such a strange disillusion
Slipping into Seclusion
Such a strange disillusion

Perpetual
05:18
|
|||
|
The cycle ends and repeats again
When sentenced to such torment
Trapped inside this frame of flesh
Leaves us heartbroken and hell bent
Into mirrors made of black
The reflection never lies
Welcome to the grand illusion
Where everyone will die
Twisted thoughts of a shattered mind
Breeding black that’s so nocturnal
Voices creep to break the silence
Pushing towards the end eternal
Caught within another trap
We spin out of control
Our destiny, destined to be
Another forgotten soul
The journey to my grave
Is so perpetual
The journey to your grave
Is so perpetual
The journey to my grave
Is so perpetual
The journey to your grave
Is so perpetual
Death comes knocking
On doors we can’t keep closed
A tolling of another bell
Fates hand has been exposed
Fates hand has been exposed
Fates hand has been exposed
Fates hand has been exposed
Fates hand had been exposed

Ebony Goodbyes
07:41
|
|||
|
I’ll leave my mark on this place like a stain
Abrupt and irreversible a final end to pain
Who am I and what have I become
Awake the darkness and curse the sun
Descending depths of despair far beyond me
Take the hand of the reaper so blindly
My sedated life no longer needs me here
In comatose words I bid farewell my dear
From crimson tears
That pour from your eyes
I take my last bow
With Ebony Goodbyes
Fever peaked fever broken
Transcending into another lifetime
Kill the words kill the sorrow
Sever all of the ties that bind
I’m just a ghost of who I once was
No longer fit to inhabit this earth
Leaving a trail of misery so vast
Destined to die since my birth
With one foot firmly in the grave
The sadness shrouds my every breath
Black clouds of life’s cold bitterness
Beckons me into the grip of death
The grip of death the grip of death
The grip of death
From crimson tears
That pour from your eyes
I take my last bow
From Ebony Goodbyes
Walk with me passed the stones of ivory
Where the forgotten voices speak
Manifest is the dark skies high above
Warning all of those to retreat

Lamentous
05:19
|
|||
|
Nothing feeds the soul like isolation
You’ll never understand what lurks inside
Distance from the world no emancipation
As I crawl back in my hole again to hide
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Dead eyes stare from the outside in
Casting glares and judging sin
These four walls became your tomb
The same four walls have sealed my doom
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Lamentous oh oh oh oh
Soulless I wander in skeleton form
A ghost of such magnificent flesh
Here amongst the living waiting to die
In granite markers just like the rest
Feed me to the wolves inside my mind
When the fading light divides
Reaching an end to this sorrow
Yesterday’s dead and so is tomorrow
Feed me to the wolves inside my mind
When the fading light divides
Reaching an end to this sorrow
Yesterday’s dead and so is tomorrow

Temples To Nowhere
06:25
|
|||
|
Pull the plug and begin to swim
Through the waters of my abortion
When everything around goes black
All sound is mere distortion
Mystic and mesmerizing
Holding on to only let go
Pass the torch to another life
As above so below
Time ends yet I remain
Floating in the in between
Maybe we’re already dead
And it’s just a dream
Mystic and mesmerizing
Holding on to only let go
Pass the torch to another life
As above so below
Beyond pale walls so infinite
In suspended ivory air
Ascending stairs towards the sky
Of Temples to Nowhere
Beyond pale walls so infinite
In suspended ivory air
Ascending stairs towards the sky
Of Temples to Nowhere
Of Temples to Nowhere
Of Temples to Nowhere
Of Temples to Nowhere

Mass Deception
05:48
|
|||
|
The bleak black and visionless
Created from its inception
Cavernous desolate and grim
While scaling the walls from within
Hollow lost and silently numb
To forgive yet not forget
Destructive signs now so benign
Leads us straight into the pit
Into the pit
Screaming out for redemption
Muted cries that no one hears
To only find mass deception
Exasperates all our fears
Screaming out for redemption
Muted cries that no one hears
To only find mass deception
Exasperates all our fears
This is the end So save yourself
Release the pain and the strife
Phantoms gather while devils linger
Both here and the afterlife
This is the end So save yourself
Release the pain and the strife
Phantoms gather while devils linger
Both here and the afterlife
Screaming out for redemption
Muted cries that no one hears
To only find mass deception
Exasperates all our fears
Screaming out for redemption
Muted cries that no one hears
To only find mass deception
Exasperates all our fears

Asunder
05:38

Surrounded by the snakes
that feast upon your soul
And god-damn vultures
who have come to seize control
In the dark of night where
some may fear to tread
Reigning down upon the living
and the dead
Sacred throes of love and hate
Buried deep beyond the gate
Angels of the living world
Eyes ablaze and wings unfurled
Darkbringer descend upon this land
With sorrow clenched within his hand
Unleashing pain, lightning and thunder
We are the souls now torn asunder
We are the souls now torn asunder
Forbidden leeches that begin
to take ahold
Twisting words of deceit
of stories yet untold
Into the lair you crawl
entranced by blasphemy
Falling victim to this
grotesque fallacy
Darkbringer descend upon this land
With sorrow clenched within his hand
Unleashing pain, lightning and thunder
We are the souls now torn asunder
Darkbringer descend upon this land
With sorrow clenched within his hand
Unleashing pain, lightning and thunder
We are the souls now torn asunder

The Foreboding
04:28
|
|||
|
Twisted spires of reminiscence
Leads us back into the soil
Such a bleak déjà vu
As tongues of death uncoil
As tongues of death uncoil
Viewing our mortality
From eyes sewn tightly shut
Measuring scars we’ve claimed
Within the deepened cut
The deepened cut
Predict the unpredictable
Foresee what can’t be seen
Open up the healing wound
Inside this nightmare dream
Foreboding
Inside this nightmare dream
Foreboding
Inside this nightmare dream
Shadows take the form of those
Trapped below the earth
When suffering and loneliness
Becomes our only curse
Predict the unpredictable
Foresee what can’t be seen
Open up the healing wound
Inside this nightmare dream
Foreboding
Inside this nightmare dream
Foreboding
Inside this nightmare dream
Predict the unpredictable
Foresee what can’t be seen
Open up the healing wound
Inside this nightmare dream
Foreboding

For Whom Do We Mourn
06:08
|
|||
|
To the ends of the earth I have traveled
So many sorrows and so many curses
And once again as the daylight has faded
My demons start with their hypnotic verses
Dreams die as the last breath approaches
The air is thick with a stench of denial
Shattered hopes seep into subconscious
Into the hole of your downward spiral
Spiral
I am no longer captive
No need to be reborn
And so I ask myself again
For whom do we mourn
Tragic loss of a life since forgotten
Dust to dust spoken words of bereavement
Trapped in time sewing seeds divine
Vivify free the soul from enslavement
Bury the heart in a tomb for the nameless
Scattered ashes on wings of deception
Catatonic through thoughts and emotions
Left to die from this foul insurrection
I am no longer captive
No need to be reborn
And so I ask myself again
For Whom Do We Mourn
I am no longer captive
No need to be reborn
And so I ask myself again
For Whom Do We Mourn
Do We Mourn
For Whom Do We Mourn

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

supported by 16 fans who also own “In Times of Woe”
This is everything you could want in a doom metal album. Robert Lowe is arguably the BEST vocalist of this style, and the songs are gloomy, heavy, dreary with a couple rockers thrown in.

WAGNER - In The Lonely Light of Mourning
by ERIC WAGNER
supported by 14 fans who also own “In Times of Woe”
Eric Wagner to me is a poet and a storyteller, his lyrics are thoughtful and profound and to take a quote about Chris Cornell “Nobody sings like him anymore”. He should never have died it was avoidable. Ask his bass player Ron Holzner? Too many rockers live recklessly and it has consequences for not just them and those in their families and friends but in the world wide family of rock and rollers. Live Long and Prosper Eric run to the light.
