[Walker:] Who am I? Why an I? This makes no sense, I must have closure Do I live? Have I died? This senseless feeling covers over What I am, what I've done All I've known, what I've become I can't recall a thing from past Just fog and distant braying in the dark As I wander through forgotten planes Of intrigue and remorse A sorrow grips my tortured voice pained from this discourse Lamenting shades of ancient grey Enveloping my soul Discovering the darker sin Within my mind's control Unravelling my septic will This fog of fury past Proceeds without so much respect To tear my smokescreen sanctuary apart Cold winds blow through twisted trees Gnarled limbs claw desperately Towards an unyielding night sky And still I wander Thoughtlessly devoid through And hopelessly lost in despair There is nothing, I am nothing I need nothing but to understand.. [Narrator:] These roads, they say, aren't safe to travel Enwreathed in fog by day The restless spirit wanders nightly Cursed and left asunder Frightening apparitions Haunting preminiitons Damning, occult fascinations Dangerous affiliations.. .. be wary. [Walker:] Denouncing convictions and claiming no threat How little this means in complete retrospect Yet the tolling of bells from an unknown position Betrays all hope of refuge from boundless suspicion This is all that's left of me.. Those I find, the ones that dare To penetrate the forest air In luring through seductive flair I'll take them From pasts unknown, as is my own I care not to pursue, their only worth to me Is in their wisdom still I'll take them To my nightmare world, my endless dream My frightening realm of fog and screams Where terrors mount and horrors breed In skinless, rotting corpse strewn heaths They will hep me understand.. .. you will help me understand.

Awake.. awake.. A sense of dread doth penetrate My head it spins, my legs, they quake An ill here done in shroud of dark Eyes that cannot see For fear that what beheld Would violate my sanity This lightless room This cold and sightless tomb What terrors herein lurk I must expose yet fear exert it's course Yet more.. I illuminate! Oh strongest discord! And boldest misdeed! A chill runs down my spine surveying this scene A body there lies dead at my feet Cold and inert It's lifeblood drained from gaping slits Face contorted in silent suffering Before the ensuing release of death Speechless I move Mindlessly lost A scream from the shadows, resounding in shock My candle doth drop, I fall to my knees Braying in horror at what I have seen Lidless eyes staring accusingly The blood on my own hands incriminating me Yet something is missing, something I should know Reality sets, my blood runs cold The body familiar, someone I once knew A lifetime ago in an age lost in mist Now no longer failing, my memory renewed An innocent victim denied his existence I sink to weary knees once more Beside this broken man upon the floor Have I killed him? Yes, I have killed him For he is me and I am forsaken Henceforth forevermore to this lightless room This soul confining tomb In life I yearned to be rid of myself Alas, I death we rot together in this hell

Survival depends on defiance of law The rejection of sanitised, obstructive causes Reversion to primitive, instinctive impulse The thrill of the hunt, the encompassing rush Those who deviate from common bounds Must suffer the scorn of a nation enraged And those who would inflict this barbaric transgression Will face no reprisal removed from confession Heed well this warning of due darkness told Hear now this story of two darkened souls.. [Lyrics:] This friendship bold, alliance strong Upon this path we've strayed too long The Autumn air bears nought but calm Not mute despair, nor mild alarm As dusk ensues, we walk still more Retracing paths from days of yore The bonds of brethren strengthened still Beneath this weathered house on Hollow's Hill Unaware of what abounds Oblivious to what surrounds Darkness collects, the cataract manifests The son is overwhelmed, the Sun beaten back Attacked by the blackest, immodest hate Two souls unburdened by morality Spite centered, ungendered spawn Of Hell's merciless abyss Grasped by fingers of strengthened ire Forged Mephistophelian beings of dark desire Dragged are they to the house above Taken away from all that would brave this tumult So here begins the end of Summer's light The death of all Glorification of the unholy, the night The clasp of iron holds me tight My throat contracts with gut-wrenching fright Sick visions fill my head Am I alive, or am I fucking dead? Tight shackles brace my wrists Flesh held, molested, binding unstitched As dolls made and broken We children of Goshen Torn screaming from plenty To pastures abhorrent and empty If walls could talk, an endless horror told These four boards of unknown ages old This house removed from time and space A loveless void God cannot penetrate Still ever more sickening this torment becomes More stitches removed as we slowly come undone Exposing the moist innards of the prey Together in life we shared a bond Forever in death we suffer alone Our bodies carved to the bone, unprotected The warning of common sense here attested These two kindred spirits, molested and ingested Beneath an empty sky, a deed here done sublime The Godless stars forever baring witness to our crime Satisfied are we.. Satisfied are we.

about

Recorded back in 2008, the debut self-titled release received a cult following in the underground metal scene.

With three epic tunes that span crawling Burning Witch style oppressive doom, melancholy early My Dying Bride-ish death/doom, fast & rough black metal ala early Burzum, and apocalyptic Neurosis style sludge. An intense experience.

Track listing:

1. The Wood of Suicides (14:14)
2. Epiphany (Soliloquy) (14:39)
3. The House on Hollows Hill (15:19)
