lyrics

Once upon a day in summer-time
I passed through a village. In a dreary line
On both sides of the winding narrow lane,
the houses stood there, grey, decayed.

Dancing silence of dark cloak
Makes the servants follow her.
Each of them will bring the clock,
So that we bear in mind the time.

Like old rags, dull and frowsty;
In the walls their windows staring blindly back,
And even the thatch itself was rotted black.
All was ruins, grown old.

Here death had come crawling,
Showing all shapes of despair,
Like a trickster laughing at swaggering men,
Reminding who holds master’s chair.

Once upon a night in summer-time
She took a clock and went in a dreary line.
On both sides of the winding narrow lane,
the houses stood there, grey, decayed.

She walks again, like thousand times
Before, in every human age,
Painting neighbors with dark stains,
Making people count for days.

Here death comes crawling,
Showing all shapes of despair,
Like a trickster laughing at swaggering men,
Reminding who holds master’s chair.

Dancing silence of dark cloak
Makes the servants follow her.
Each of them will bring the clock,
So that we bear in mind the time.

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working. tgoz

Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness
by Fathomage

supported by 10 fans who also own “Her Clock”

Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74
