lyrics
The lust for life is burning
My journey through the night
A ceremony in sacred peace
I walk the land that suffocates in velvet haze
This is my spiritual nourishment
I repel new visions to no avail
They tear me apart, they pursue me
There is no escape for me
Breaker waves of pipe organ massifs rattle my head
One person’s shadow under the Moon
Disappears in the flesh of time
Crystals of the night rustle against the leaves
I hear the Requiem for this world
Human fate meanders like in a floodplain
Solitude is a cleansing wellspring
At that very time freed from the chains of living
Freed from the weeping of human misery
Under the starry dome
I see something shining in the distance
I walk towards the light
It’s her –
The lust for life.

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
