I have seen a frozen fairy on the horizon
Her wings caught in a stream of pain
I have loved the tears of snow in her eyes
Her last glance ripped my heart
Her sorrow, my emptiness
The velvet ice of her skin
The frost of winter
Her crystal coffin
This painful sight changed my life
Its pure essence of melancholy
I wish site could take me in her arms
Before disappearing, fading away…
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
