lyrics

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.

The Body Cosmic

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan

The Long Road Home
by Iapetus

supported by 10 fans who also own “Shattered Memories”

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 ! Jordan Vauvert

Bellum I
by Aquilus

supported by 10 fans who also own “Shattered Memories”

Aquilus took a decade off and came back like he never left! Bellum I is yet another piece of beautiful melodic black metal mixed with classical and folk that makes you wanna dance naked in a forest somewhere. The natural sounding production increases the atmosphere heavily. Griseus is a monumental black metal album for me but Bellum I isn't far behind. Can't wait for II! Ryan

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