Insomnium - Ill-Starred Son

From the album In The Halls of Awaiting

Lyrics:

Her dirge still echoes in these woods
Mourning lingers in the vales
As the wind cries on the shore
Her wailing can be heard

Mirthless is this wandering through
Hollow days
Like a pale ghost I waste away in
This foul world

What sin do I atone for in this
Dreadful way
Why the gods sneer at me as I
Keep writhing in pain

Where has my dearest gone to
Where sings now my maiden fair
Beneath the darksome waters
Underneath the moonlit waves

Where is our ill-starred son
Where lies our poor stillborn child
Below the silent mound
In the arms of scared earth

She become weary of the world
Tired of this marred life
Burdened with sorrow far too deep
A pain impossible to bear

There is no light at the end of this
Blackened path
Calm again are the sullen waters
Before me

If gods shall hearken to me
Fate with be bening
I leave these woes behind
Depart from these cares

For we shall be reunited on the
Other side
I descend to my love and caress her
forevermore

@strahinje insomnium, ensiferum and eluveitie aren't quite the same thing. insomnium play melodic death metal while ensiferum and eluveitie play viking-, respectively pagan metal

[hauptmann25]

this band is soo great. Just like be'lakor trough whom i found out about this band.

[strahinje]

i was so amazed when i discovered this band. I thought ensiferum and eluveitie was the best there is in this kind of category..When i heard insomnium,i knew i would never find anything as deep as them.

Wish their newest album sounded more like this. Clarity and less post-production done to it.

This whole album is glorious
