The Departure

It's been 800 years now,
Yet it feels like it happened yesterday,
Not a day goes by without thinking of the past,
How much I had to forget,
How much I lost,
Still the air is cold here, I can barely breath,
Sometimes I'd like those icy waters to drown me,
I'd like the blue river to take me back home, to take me where I belong
Walking through the clouds,
I heard your voice,
Echo of a forgotten hope,
Days go by,
But the doubt remains,
Will I be able to go on,
I can't let you go,
Won't you stop whispering my name,
Won't you let me go,
Far away, where time stand still…
My hands are tainted from the blood of my betrayal,
Should I feel regret,
Is this what I wanted,
My mouth is sewed,
Words mean nothing now,
I am lost forever suffering,
Where was the life you promised me?
Everything has been taken away from me,
Where is this place you condemned me,
The air is so cold,
And so is my soul,
Walking through the sky,
I smelled your hair,
Perfume of a joy I once knew,
Days go by,
But memories won't fade,
Visions of you will forever burn my eyes,
I can't let you go,
Won't you stop whispering my name,
Won't you let me go,
Far away, where you're still breathing…
My mind will shatter,
I can't stand this anymore,
The flames of the sun,
The shivers of the night,
I've been here for so long,
Waiting for your arrival,
Hope has now turned into despair,
Where is the life you promised me?
Everything has been taken away from me,
Where is this place you condemned me,
The air is so cold,
And so is your soul,
I won't forget,
The pain I had to bear,
How much I suffered for you,
Take my flesh, my bones,
My soul and my past,
I lost the will to fight,
I'm leaving here,
Soon I will be gone,
The departure for us has arrived,
Soon, the sun will rise,
And we will be free,
The departure,
A new journey awaits us,
Let's leave together,
We'll live forever.

Shattered Memories

They came as the sun was still sleeping,
Their eyes were hollow, full of emptiness,
They came here to end their sufferings,
Death is what they wanted, nothing less,
One by one, they burnt our shelters,
Destroyed what took a thousand years to build,
We fought back but soon we weltered,
In an unknown place,
Far from our dwelling,
We ran for what seemed a century,
Hoping that someday we would be free,
But nothing was to be found,
In this unknown place far from our mound,
We tried to start over,
But deep inside we knew it was all over,
For months we just layed down on the snow,
Trying to see the sun glow,
But we couldn't even breath the air,
And without knowing why, we just couldn't care,
This place we were,
Was the source of our despair,
This place we were,
Was not real,
We were straight in the devil's lair,
After an eternity he came to us,
He spoke for hours and we listened,
In the state we were, we couldn't regress,
Soon his speech reached an end,
Here the sun is dead,
Our winters never end,
Our hopes, our dreams,
Frozen, shattered memories,
He told us we were in the limbs,
That these grounds were made of our graves,
That we couldn't get out until we rebuilt,
What took a thousand years to build,
Slowly we tried to start over,
But deep inside we knew it was all over,
it was all over,
Left alone,
Eternally wandering,
Searching for the white.

Them

Black is my heart,
Her poison is still on my lips,
I feel her cold breath freezing my neck,
Black is the sun,
Her eyes are still watching me,
I feel her cold blood all over my face,
Why can't I forget her pale face beneath the sun,
Why can't I forget her blood-tainted misery,
Her body is under the earth,
Her soul is next to the heavens,
BUt her pain is still mine,
And shall I suffer forever,
Red are my hands,
Her nails are still trough my chest,
We were your dream,
A promise of eternal life,
We all lied,
Red are my eyes,
Her agony still ringing in my ears,
Through her death I felt free,
As I arrive I feel their eyes devouring me,
How could they know,
Has the darkness betrayed me,
Running through the flames I must escape,
Their lights are near I feel their fire burning,
Running in the dark there's no way out,
I feel their rage,
But I must avenge,
I am eternal sorrow,
I am eternal darkness,
I am death,
Creator,
When wll you bring me to your kingdom,
Here I'm useless,
I want to dominate them,
I am eternal sorrow,
I am eternal darkness,
I am death,
I am eternal sorrow,
I am eternal darkness,
I am death,
You're all slaves,
Moon is high,
We're waking from no dream,
We want to feel alive,
We want to feel their pain,
But our flesh is so cold,
Slowly we are walking in the snow,
Trying to understand,
Why are we so ashamed,
But our flesh is so cold,
Them,
Wretched souls,
From the pits of hell,
They arise at dawn,
Them,
Putrid masks,
From our memories,
They'll hide our treason,
Car j'ai ete cree avant vous,
J'ai vu le soleil tous les exterminer,
Les uns apres les autres,
Ils sont tous tombes,
Peuple superieur,
Ils ornent maintenant les cieux,
D'une lumiere etincellante,
Ils nous guident vers l'enfer,
Condamnes a tout jamais dans cette prison blanche,
Nous tendant la main,
Nous guidant vers l'enfer.

Iapetus vise la voûte céleste avec The Long Road Home et, aussi éloignée soit-elle, arrive à ne pas se perdre en chemin, ne succombant jamais à la facilité ou au remplissage : Matthew et Jordan sont deux virtuoses du black metal progressif qui savent être exemplaires, encore plus dans les pistes instrumentales (l'album ne pouvait rêver de meilleure conclusion que cette piste éponyme). Iapetus vise aussi les planètes, donnant du corps à leur création par des thèmes et paroles matures. Magistral !

What if old Opeth was obsessed with space instead of lepers and ghosts? you would probably get an album like this, which is fantastic.
