lyrics

[ESCENA:]
Una joven mujer cojea por un camino excavado entre los escombros dejado por la Gran Tempestad que arrazó contra su barrio en la montaña. Su rostro es una de abatimiento tallada por las horas del huracán y días consiguientes sin dormir; lágrimas hacen surcos entre los parchos de fango que cubren su cara, su cabello, su ropa, todo. Su mirada se fija en una distancia impercebible por el hombre. En sus brazos sostiene un embudo de sábanas empapadas en humedad, fango, y sangre podrida.
[...]
Hubo muchos campesinos que vieron a la pobre mujer solloza cruzando por la ruina, y se cuestionaban lo que decía, y lo que llevaba en sus brazos.
[...]
La sombra que la perseguía se extendía a lo largo de los siglos. Sus cuernos arrasan las generaciones del hombre.

Barren of all distinction,
No colors or hues to discern:
Life from Death,
Blood from Ash.

All was equal
In that naught bore value,
Before the eyes of the Dead,
Flooded by Mud and Tears.

A crown for us to bear
A torch for ages to gleam.

For ages to see and know
That our plight was not without precedence;
That before us and thereafter,
There shall be a crown of suffering to wear.

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra
