Agalloch - Hallways of Enchanted Ebony

One of the best songs ever made.

Fucking love this lyrics:

Kiss me coldly and drain this life from my lips
Let the cold blood flow on it's own...
Kiss me coldly and fall away from the soul
Long forgotten...

From which of this oak shall I hang myself?
These ebon halls are always dark...
From which frostbitten bough shall I die?

As dark as the winter, as black as her ghastly veil
As cold as her whisper and chilling gown

No corridors of life and beauty
These enchanted halls are stained with the blood of night
Ebon halls gleam as ghosts of a fire dance wickedly across a pantheon of marble

These weary eyes shall open no more, frozen tightly by the cold embrace of death
A charnel house of memories torn and burning melancholy shall embrace me now

Hear this call...
Beyond endless halls and far across the vast forest, just across the iron gates
Whispers...

As dark as the winter, as black as her grim mask of death
As cold as her sorrow, her ivory tears

No corridors of life and beauty
No bloodred sky, no colors left in this world

It was the light's end

[Music by Haughm (12/97 - 2/98)]

This is my favorite song by them.. but i sadly dont own all of their music... It would be cool if they made a remaster of this album and fix the production/balance issues

[DarkHypocrisy]

I would say keep it as it is.

Love the production.

[tomatooverlord]

I must say, agalloch vids make a refreshing change from the normal sea of urine that are youtube comments

This song is great! The voice of the singer is a bit strange, but the rest is awesome.
