lyrics

Can you see the eyes in ancient pines?
Can you hear forgotten words?
Can you smell how salt and smoke collide?
Can you feel the wetness of the stones?
Can you ever understand the way
The forests run their turns?
Can you touch the earth with hands
As her child, putting down your sword?

Do you hear the sound
That’s a sad silvan starts,
Playing his woeful notes?
Under his old hands
As tense strings vibrate
Thin trunks of firs and pines.
The silent hymn
Continues to flow
Down the hills to the lake.
Like a thousand strings
The forest rings
Its woeful song.

Can you see the eyes in ancient pines?
Can you hear forgotten words?
Can you smell how salt and smoke collide?
Can you feel the wetness of the stones?
Can you ever understand the way
The forests run their turns?
Can you touch the earth with hands
As her child, putting down your sword?

Can you tell me why
The lake went dark
In the daylight?
Can you tell me why
The rye went loud?
What winds are whispering?
Can you tell me what
Is shining on
The old pines view?
Can you tell if those
Are drops of tears
Or freezing dew?

Can you see the eyes in ancient pines?
Can you hear forgotten words?
Can you smell how salt and smoke collide?
Can you feel the wetness of the stones?
Can you ever understand the way
The forests run their turns?
Can you touch the earth with hands
As her child, putting down your sword?

Mortal Coil

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 “The Eyes in Ancient Pines”

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
