lyrics
Friends scattered across the homeland
Look sadly and alone
At the events around them
Faint Sun is gone
One ring after another falls
Upon fingers under shoulders
Of the weak and hunched men
With fat bellies atop insect feet
But with a woman by their side
That's what's it all about
What's not to like
Amid the stream of life
Flame flickers out, its shadow too
Hot embers are damped down and down
By urine, tears and memories
Virtual sharing of virtues and vices
And of something which is lacking
Of going wolfish in spring bloom
In the month of love
In the month of enchainment
Moonlit jasmine tree
Shines bright after the rain
Like pearls of something which is lacking

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
