lyrics

The Floating Grave

In the river so old
Swept by the tide
A truth to be told
Hides from the light

She was standing
In the creek
To her knees
In water deep
A motionless figure
In the murky stream
Staring at her fate
When last she was seen

And the river still runs cold
Quiet and dignified
A secret it still withholds
But myth won’t subside
As the narrative unfolds
Unravelling part by part
A shape of truth it molds
Vague in the dark

Who was the shadow
By her side
Standing silent
As her guide
His face, a canvas empty
Above the water's flow
The hidden bond between them
Only they could know

Drown in my embrace
Take leave one last time
Fading, your shape in the current
Disappears from this world
Whirling, sinking, deeper and deeper
Down into a floating grave

And the river still runs cold
To no one it will confide
The secret it still withholds
Of where she resides
Will we ever comprehend?
Why did she depart?
Are we forever meant
To be in the dark?

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom. fluo
