it’s going to be very cold tonight
I can see death’s reflection in my shadow
The heart is open, the heart is open
I smell the stench of the forgotten
I feel their teeth on my teeth
and they lick me, and they lick me
I stand in piss with soiled clothes and rotten feet
I’ve lost my life so now I wander through the streets
I am alone I sleep with rats and dirty sheets
this was not me, how the fuck did this come to be?
this is not me, I am diseased
I stink, I smell so bad, people walk past me in disgust
my heart has hardened into rust
reduced to rotting I stand in puddles of my flesh
I walk amongst you smelling of piss and sweat
I beg you help me, please fucking help me
just human kindness is all that I ask
please look at me, please look at me, please look at me
why can’t you see?
this is not me, this is not me
yet, here I am alone and bleak
a living ghost that cannot speak
reduced to rotting meat
nearly blind and incomplete
afraid to die for who I’ll meet
an inner dissolving

The Abyssal Thirst

sworn to the bottle, slave to the rock
fearlessly dying, slowly I rot
lost in the shadows like falling under waves
I start to drown
down, down, down
every day a slut a slave
to the only thing that I truly love
drink, drink, drink
there is no time to think
forget that hope will come your way
its dead, dead, dead
toxic pleasure has begun to rot you away
you did this to yourself, I did this to myself
soon the pain will be too much
faster if you do it but worse if you do not
drink it away, drink it away
the rest of your life is not better than this
memories are the only thing that still exist
as the life inside fades
the mask of denial remains
you wreak of the knife you have made
the piece never placed, the stench of replace
choking on the effigies of your mistakes
suffering the torment of endless piles of waste
sworn to the bottle, slave to the rock
fearlessly dying, slowly I rot
lost in the shadows like falling under waves
I start to drown
down, down, down
every day a slut a slave
to the only thing that I truly love
drink, drink, drink
there is no time to think
forget that hope will come your way
its dead, dead, dead
toxic pleasure has begun to rot you away
you did this to yourself
I did this to me

Devoured By Flame

I see the darkness coming down
black birds circling all around
this is not the world that I used to know
where did my home go?
upon smoldering earth I stare at my ashen legacy
everything I was and what I was destined to be
but the fire it likes to eat
I try to stop it but it rules supreme
it eats and creeps, eats and creeps
and it eats at me
it’s surrounding
it’s surrounding
just get it together, take deep breaths and close your eyes
count back from ten and hope you die
I hear them screaming
I hear their painful cries
how did this happen? how did we lose our lives?
upon smoldering earth I stare at my ashen legacy
everything I was and what I was destined to be
but the fire it likes to eat
I try to stop it but it rules supreme
it eats and creeps, eats and creeps
and it eats at me
it’s consuming
it’s consuming
I am the flame and I’m not to blame
I just want to eat and you are my meat
say we sail away on the wings of your dismay?
will you care at all when my hand chars your face?
I am the flame and I’m not to blame
I just want to eat and you are my meat
say we sail away on the wings of your dismay?
will you care at all when my hand chars your face?

Erebos

sun is dark and everyone can hear the screams
night is warm and everyone will dance in blood
light is gone and everyone will go insane
I am God and everyone will know my name
drown now in waters so cold
gasp for your breath and hear what you can never know
burn in the fires that peel at your mind
and see inside you what you will never find
feel your existence slipping through the cracks
of the existential concrete that will never last
I see what cometh for I have a thousand eyes
soon you’ll walk among us in a place where happiness dies
in a place where happiness dies
I am the god of pestilence
I am the lord of flies
From chaos came forth Erebos
He came to snuff out the sky
Awakened by our worthless lives
Now we must die

when I was young I used to play with my mom
I was so free and nothing bothered me
but now I’m old and I am covered with mold
so with these hands I destroy me again
I take the needle and I sit it on the cotton ball
draw up the liquid that I hope will end it all
pierce the vein and wait for the blood
then drop the plunger into oblivion
why? why can’t I die?
I try so fucking hard but every time I open my eyes
why am I here? why can’t I just disappear?
there is nothing left for me in this world but pain and fear
oh what is this? another soul in distress?
I will latch on and show you what you’ve done wrong
you can trust in me, I come to you so peacefully
but in reality I am here to drag you down
give me all you have and in return I’ll give you half
forget about what you had ’cuz it was not real
stretch out your arm so I can put in the poison
and you can fall asleep with me
The nightmare is coming
It hid behind your selfishness
The seas are churning
Excited by what comes next
The depths are clawing
To tear away the soul from here
The darkness taketh over to rule forevermore
I’m turning the sun into stone
I’m turning the sun into stone
I’m turning the sun into stone
I’m turning the sun into stone

and once again we have arrived
to the end of the story
illuminated by countless cries
it is too late for us to open our eyes
bask in the dawn of the ending
leave all your hope behind
this final line, our rising sign, the birth of death
we are the ones who’re to blame for this
we are the souls maligned
we destroyed our homes
we poisoned our minds
stole our children’s joy
lost our chance to rise
so sad, for in the midst of our lives we died
the death, the death, will come for all
our end, shall be quick so we need not look far
the death, the death, will come for ALL
and all at once the unconscious mind awakes to find
no sound, no flesh, no self, no world, just black
spiritus mundi, we beg you please have pity on us
we know not what we do
we know not what we do
DE MORTE, HOMINIS
DE MORTE, HOMINIS
and once again we have arrived
to the end of the story
illuminated by countless cries
it is too late for us to open our eyes
bask in the dawn of the ending
leave all your hope behind
this final line, our rising sign, the birth of death
we are the ones who’re to blame for this
we are the souls maligned
this is the hapless fate that we can’t defy
here at the end of the cycle
nothing more than a sigh

This is *the* death metal album of the year for me, right now. It's got a clear love for the 90s OSDM sound without just reprinting it. Stellar production and performances capped with one of the most intense vocal performances you'll hear all year.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
