lyrics

... and as those last leaves decay
And the soil turns hard
The familiar sting of winter wind comes
Freezing my skin, but warming my fading soul
And as these flakes of snow fall
That will soon become my tomb
That beautiful cold numbs me
Ending the punishment of feeling

No one will ever read my epitaph
That exists only within my mind
And no tears will ever be shed
To mourn this loss of life
There will stand no monument
That will serve to remember me

I will have no eulogy
And there will be none to weep for me
I will lay there for eternity
And my soul will ascend to the stars above

There will be no effigy
That shall be my legacy
I will die isolated
And become one with the universe
There is no mortal soul
That will ever recall me
I will perish where I am
And become a memory
There will be only one witness
To the end of my suffering
And that is the grey sky
That is above me

And when that snow finally falls upon me
And when that fortress is finally built around me
And when the cold has finally frozen me
And when my wretched soul has finally left me
I will at long last be able to truly be free
And leave behind my flesh and bones
And at long last my curse will be lifted
And I may venture to the stars for the last time

This walk that I take
Down this lonely winter road
Will lead me to my burial grounds
And to the place of my freedom
My chains that bind me to this world will be undone
And I will finally be free

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 6 fans who also own “...And My Soul Will Ascend to the Stars Above (Solace III)”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

selftitled
by NONE

supported by 6 fans who also own “...And My Soul Will Ascend to the Stars Above (Solace III)”

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
