Marshall Lochbaum Ignore the grindcore and brutal death trappings. This is an incredible work of depressive black metal, with an effect to rival Ulver's Bergtatt. Favorite track: Chapter 5 - The Tree.

1.
Exordium 01:48
The tears of an immortal beast mean nothing after many a millennia I have none to give no more wrath nor sorrow joy, lust, stupefaction none of the things hold merit Peace is the only thing worth seeking worth fighting for worth dying for
2.
Since man has existed Since this curse has haunted us all A perversion of both man and beast True, man himself is a beast But I can embody the darkest side Of the noble wolf and his lost brother Homo Sapiens I've tasted all Light and shadow; they are my brides Intimately known by myself The fervor I have shown Given myself completely to both They are treacherous To this marriage I am bound By the chords of life Unbroken until the sun consumes me and my world Until time itself is laid to rest
3.
All those I have loved Every enemy I've owned Will fall Has fallen Some by the fair hand of death Countless by the beast I harbor Precious metals cannot pierce my sternum Love falters when its duty beacons In the hopes of my rest I am weary There is nothing left here Every drop of life I give I take another heart of blood I find peace in the sublime The ocean, mountain and moon are my only companions I listen to hear what they may say
4.
I have been since the earth began My dark bosom delves ever deeper to where no man could think to be Sacred, my vast and empty planes The abyss shall hold your tired soul For as long as I am I am impenetrable, you will be safe in my court All men fear a watery grave Alas, woe, for as all things come to pass And even I will dry to dust I cannot be your shelter eternal
5.
I have been since the earth began The halls of the mountain are graced by few My throneroom guarded by the mighty Fierce beasts warn those who trespass My mighty arms outstretched to ward off mankind Stone and ice Wind and forest None may pass as I stand I welcome none but the most worthy The few souls left in the dead lands Alas, woe, Even my strength will fail I stand as a sentinel Slowly fading from my post I will cage your cruelty while I stand none could find you in my stone halls But as all things fade and I will crumble I can not give you rest eternal
6.
How many more lives must I live? how many more sleepless nights? For not even comatose can bring me rest The planet's mightiest fortresses Are but momentary strongholds I must find eternal rest Plant the seed of a mighty cedar Tending for all these millennia Growing slowly, never ceasing To soon guide me home I now know what I must do The beast must run free forever There was never any choice for me So long as solace is my heart's desire The animal will roam My soul will sleep Peace at last will soon be mine Leave this cursed sphere forever All these years Will soon be truly behind me Patiently await this tree to grow I will climb unto the heavens To where solitude will be mine Silence, beautiful forgiveness Leave my sins forever
7.
To the heavens My sanctuary I am going to sleep Eons I have waited The tree has finally grown To the moon, I will climb Leave this cursed land behind Her light will give me strength The beast within will awaken Ascending into heaven The stars will light my way I feel no cold of the void Solar winds caress my fur Claws sink deep into the bark Venture into the dark Bit, claw Bit, claw bit, claw Soon to meet peace at last Bit, claw Bit, claw tooth, nail To the silver satellite! All memories will cease Of my curse, my disease Will take my withered body And roam forever free My soul will rest at last As all before have past No more shall those I love Suffer by my hands
8.
Forever roam this empty land As the beast that I am My soul in peace My body pleased No more shall I suffer Eternal rest I find Release from my shattered mind No more shall they suffer The bridge is cut The stars burn bright Cosmic stone, racing through the dark Shatter the tie to my former life Forever roam this empty land As the beast that I am My soul in peace My body pleased No more shall I suffer Eternal rest I find Release from my shattered mind No more shall I suffer
