lyrics

Some time ago, there forest stood,
And its’ spirit was our neighbor.
Some time ago, they cut the wood –
He vanished leaving just a mirror.
Like a window to the distant world
The mirror lies in a lonely land.
It saves in never-ending cold
All those who’ll never live again.

Crooked they lie till the ends of time
Waiting for their debt could be repaid.
Nothing left that could help remind
Why they lie in this lonely land.

Dead bones stick out from swamp
They feel so hungry, they feel so raw.
Ashen light reveals skulls
Staring at the night sky in search of the moon.
Dark rust covered their swords
Ate up their armor, decayed their souls.
One day they could repay
Their debt to one who will gather us all.

Some time ago, there people lived,
Who didn’t come when was their turn.
Some time ago, they broke the oath –
And fled in woods with no defense.
Like a window to the distant world
The mirror lies on lonely land.
It saves in never-ending cold
All those who’ll never live again.

Restless wraiths walk around the swamp,
Seeking for warmth they couldn’t feel.
Day and night they can’t forgive and forget
Why they wonder in this lonely land.

Dead bones stick out from swamp
They feel so hungry, they feel so raw.
Ashen light reveals skulls
Staring at the night sky in search of the moon.
Dark rust covered their swords
Ate up their armor, decayed their souls.
One day they could repay
Their debt to one who will gather us all.

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 “Their Debt”

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
