Gris — The Cold Wind

Trying to fall asleep while the sky grumbles and rains.

Azaghal — Maailman Viimeinen Yö 

Gaze into our depths: we are the Emerald,
Everlasting and leafy, like the soul of the oceans,
Where perfumes roam through the warm night,
And flows the wave of the great angels of the wind.

We are the enormous and murmurous forest,
Overflowing with dazzled shadows and sombre splendour,
Breathing and living, where a thousand golden birds sing,
Where the peaks burst into a foam of flowers.

Ever since the original breath and the first dawn,
With ceaseless striving and endless desire,
Together we climb from the entrails of the earth
Toward that wondrous treasure you alone have reached.

Together, we its voice, we its deep soul,
Within this vast foliage, turned green ever more,
We have dreamed all of the dreams on earth
And have grown old on the shores of the sun.

Alcest — Les Voyages de l’Âme

Tonight, without a doubt my soul,
enslaved and worn by deep sorrow,
will feel a need to flee its prison of flesh.
So far from us, from our time,
my soul will rejoin the stars.

The stars will speak to my soul
in pure and silent twords,
and will show a path
leading toward unknown havens
relinking sky and land.

These faraway lands,
where tall grasses in vermilion fields
forever waltz with the light;
where freely wandering are the
memories of our life on Earth
that time vengefully wanted to erase.

Corpsey Fursy. 

Greatest song.  Did I mention that it’s my ringtone?  Seriously, best ringtone EVER.  That scream in the beginning is sure to make everyone uncomfortably aware that you’re receiving a phone call.  D;

GPOYW:  Cheesed Grin & Celebrity Sighting

Saturday, I accidentally met Ravn and Frost of 1349 at the Danzig/Marduk/Possessed show @Warehouse Live.  Their show with Triptykon (on the same night as Danzig) was canceled, so they decided to amuse themselves in Houston.  ;)
