Song dealing with issues of abortion, regret, loss, love and retribution
lyrics
This song is about the pains and regrets of abortion
Communion
Spread these snow like ashes before me
I stare through the cage at wasted moments in time
what I leave to this earth in such sorrow.
I seace to exist in your eyes. and it pains me to the brink of starvation
Leaving this life within pale tones of blue behind thine eyes, a shifting hue. Bleak trancient, cast onto oblivion, it pains me to the brink of starvation
Spread these snow like ashes before me (What I leave to this earth in such sorrow)
Watch them melt I end my life(broken glass in an empty room, shattered hearts in a vacant womb)
Spread these snow like ashes before me (Sonnet skies, poets die, bleak human suffering)
As my secrets slowly die (They died in my arms, has destiny forced my hand?)
What sorrow, is this, that I have never known
What pain is this, that haunts my very soul?
Beloved hope, I wane through what once was
Beloved self I wane through thee.
Turn away, do not see what I have become
Do not lie thine eyes apon me
Do not see what I have become
Staring back through hollowed eyes.
Condemning me to live within my lies.
Do not lie thine eyes apon me,
Do not see what I have become
Do not see what I have become
Your god has struck me down with his jagged wings,
and I frail at his hand
your god has, struck me down
I will leave unwilling to forget
Why have I forsaken the smile I never longed to see?
Why have I trapped myself, bound by the fear of my own faith?
This despair confines me, I find im exiled in a dream.
This body decieves me, I find I'm exiled in a dream.
Your body like ashes, left to haunt my mind.
Your ashes, before me, a burden carved unto my life.
Breathe, take what you must
inhale the pale stench of death.
Oceans part with forced attrition,
and I crash apon the open sea

Shroud of Bereavement's music is akin to attending a funeral for everyone you have ever loved. The Boston-based group
achieves this moribund feeling by incorporating all the right musical elements: cellos, piano, violin, and dual female vocal harmonies layered on top of harsh death vocals, played at the pace of mile-long funeral procession.....more
An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
I bought their other album, Spleen, months ago, and then just recently bought this one ... without even listening to it first. Thankfully Revenant is also amazing, serving as the perfect precursor to their more recent material. Tom's Reviews
Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
