lyrics
Epic standing crucifixion
Invasive torso on railway tracks
Rides gesticulating
Wildly through the room
While you sit and look up if you can
In the garden devoid of words
In the garden it hangs out black laundry
In the garden it rhymes
In the garden with father and cats
When you listen and do not hear
When you're given gifts and never give
When you're addressed and don't react
Saturated with inner music
You hear but do not listen
Movable torso of crucifixion
Enters the silent room
This living monstrous sacrifice
Flames in eyes, glasses over flames
Beastly loyal totality
Majestic mother of monologues
Accusations float in the wind
In the corner of the mouth with a spit
Of laziness and life in pubs and bed sheets
Indescribable circumstances
Happiness, cellar and attic
Then a whole house, later castle and grounds
And vassals

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
