Funeral Fog When a funeral doom album hits every single checkmark I look for (this album does just that), it causes myself to wonder how I'm only the 2nd person to buy this masterful piece of work. From the very opening note, I knew I had to have this album, it's one of those albums that haunts you too much to ignore. Plus, the band being from Finland is a major plus!

This cloud of dust Covers the night sky Dry road crumbles Under the rage of iron shoes The pounding of drums Denies rest The violent hammering of arms Denies peace Eyes closed off to disease Carcass covered in contempt Light folds into the cold Endless void expands Troops are moving Advancing too fast Blood is moving Its pressure rising Contaminated life Lives a lie Walls of haven are failing Beauty of dawn betrays I just don’t recall Your names anymore As I raise the flag On this distant wasteland Colour of sound malforms Into the silence of grey Sacrificial gift refused Still reeking in my arms The price is too high To open my eyes To rise anymore I tried to retreat Tried not to fall Under the shelter of leaves I swallow myself Vomit my life Endlessly I move Not going anywhere My hour was a delusion Solemn solitude Solemn pride The price is too high I lay down, just wait You can’t see The falling of leaves Naked morning The void as its veil Asking for a reason As breathing Slowly subsides
2.
Whispers carry everything And the night wind tears off the leaves Light seems to wane And eyes grow lifeless Light footsteps, going in circles The face of a child decayed Colours fade to grey And I breathe in sullen silence Just waiting for a whisper Still waiting for a whisper
3.
Countless hours they have been Speaking an empty word, utter nonsense Formless shapes behind golden masks And excuses, paving our way A constant need to readjust To refocus and to synchronize, to fit in this domain Supply on the demand, stand the ground And hold the line in this war room Messages fail to deliver Words collide (against each other) outside (of) my reach Warning lights have now been lit It's time to reassess The eyelids of a child are still closed For a little while under the palm Of a master holding the strings Waiting for a move Yes, I should be armoured enough To take the heat, to make a defence I lay my gauntlet on the table And wait for the attack. The wind has now changed And the sky looks unfamiliar Scent of fear has reached the hills My weary tread has been traced The final chase is about to begin I can no longer protect you against the hounds

Reflections 03:55
I slowly move my fingers Upon the surface Of a wooden table As if to arrange Or wait By the same road, through the same gate Into the abysmal maw Of a stone monster I always walk, Away from the light In here I diminish, disappear Stonewalls reflect the void Stained windows reflect a stained world Look, mother, night is falling Look, father, I am failing Still I think That I can see, or hear Imagine That I can feel

Korpi No. 1 16:45
Korven kylmän kainaloon taipui Vähäisen vaaran varjoon vaipui Kassapäät karkeloivat, naakat nauroivat Maahan verestä maiset vaivat
