With a heavy heart
I had declared my defeat
Done pretending I was fine
Done with empty smiles
Toes hung at the edge
Toes hung at the edge
Devoid of functionality
Lost touch with reality
No connection to really speak of
Why couldn’t I let my face be shown
I could not let myself be known
From behind the curtain
I cast the very first stone
Dreadful being bring me home
I couldn’t make it on my own
Could never focus on my health
Breeding anger towards thine self
Let none dwell within
silent ‘til these petty thoughts win
I now know better than to feed the beast
The beast within us all, the ultimate foe
Every day’s a battle, deafening and sick
I’m not afraid
To lose myself
Forever free
Remember me
with a fist deep in the dirt, and a middle finger raised
I reclaim purpose, and who I used to be
One step at a time
Treading carefully
Over the thin ice that is life
But with logic, reason and persistent strength
These feelings will die
Along with my hatred of human kind
This is a revelation in itself
No more denial
Exerting only truth,
Self-revolution
In my shaky hands
The fall,
So tempting
New Found Conviction, obtained
Old fears of change, now distant
Let none dwell within
silent ‘til these petty thoughts win
I now know better than to feed the beast
The beast within us all, the ultimate foe
Every day’s a battle, deafening and sick
Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
