Sojourn
06:16
|
|||
|
In a field so green
Where the morning ever rises
I try to grasp this fleeting moment
The swaying of the trees
The cool touch of the breeze
All will turn to shadow
Just another faded memory
Can you show me what I can’t see
Help me listen to what I can’t hear
Calm the storm within my heart
Before it grows and takes its toll
I can show you what you can’t see
Help you listen to what you can’t hear
Calm the storm within your heart
Before it grows and takes control
Will I remember the cold autumn breeze
Will I remember the sound of the trees
Will I remember the feeling of your touch
Will I remember anything at all

Deceit
06:44
|
|||
|
Cast unto the world and whispered a lie
Devoid of will
With a false sense of hope
A heart benighted
Deceived from the start
Forever lost
Confusion the norm
My bitter world is changing
So tired of this deceit
There must be something more to this
Something I must have missed
The silhouette of childhood’s memory
Now obscured within a dream
Slowly fading with the fog of time
A dwindling light
A fraying thread
What is left?
A heart of dread
Words left unsaid
Forever dead
Can this be real?
Time never heals
Left in decay
Where all remains

The Furtive Longing
07:29
|
|||
|
The darkness faltered
Seeking out the light
Longing to become
Something it wasn’t
So it cried out in vein
Hoping to ease the pain
Of knowing the dreadful truth
The secret of the light
You will never know
The story that goes untold
Hidden from all to see
This wish will never be
And so it turned away
Leaving with little strength
Hoping that some day
The night would be the light
It vowed to never cry
And never to deceive
Knowing that the light
Would never reveal its plight

Unveiled
09:58
|
|||
|
Hear me hear my cries
See me in the night
Searching for what was
Fleeing what I’ve become
The pain inside blinding my sight
The fears I hide draining my life
A final sigh a fleeting wish
Tomorrow will come
So hard to carry on
Burden in my chest
Burning air so cold
Frozen memories are lost
In time forever gone
This figure so frail
With sunken eyes
And skin so pale
A heart filled with ice

Sojourn Part II
03:50
|
|||
|
When the night
Comes to take us away
I will be right by your side
To wipe away all of your tears
And take away all of the pain
I know just what it is you seek
A moments rest
A sigh of relief

A Bitter Ending
07:11
|
|||
|
The skies wept and the soil filled with anguish
Embodied with dis-contempt there is no end
There is no escape only a loathing acceptance
All will be consumed by eternal darkness
The memories were lost in the winds of time
The stars could only watch as the Earth began to
weep
The forests will no longer sway
The seas will cease to move
All rivers will run dry
And the lands will turn to dust
All forms of life will flea
And the birds will end their songs
As the clouds begin to settle
Not even silence remains
Darkness fills my vision
With a blanket of cold
Loneliness becomes my friend
Traveling the unknown
Eternal dusk awaits
In this land
Where the moon and the stars are trapped
In suspended animation
This place so far away
Certainly out of reach
It’s closer than you can see
Nothing is what it seems

Closure
06:27
|
|||
|
The shadows fall once again
They shroud my mind and I filled
with dread
These ghosts in my dreams haunting
figures in black
My fear grows like a plague
Waiting for a sign not knowing what
I’ll find
Seeking the truth there is nothing left
to do
The moonlight is all that’s left to
guide me
Porcelain white upon a sea of darkness
And this we will hold so dear the
memory of life
And what do we do when all is gone
Where do we go when the last leaf
falls

Very bad business practice. Incomplete delivery. Lies and insults via email

It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering".

Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE
supported by 11 fans who also own “Sojourn”
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.
