Lyrics to Where The Gloom Becomes Sound [The Best Gothic Metal Album] by Tribulation

Tracklist: 01. In Remembrance Det är som mörkast före gryningen De alla har slutat andas och luften står still Ur stålet strömma en motståndskraft Som brutit fasornas sigill Who let it in, this fiend They got entwined in the stuff of a dream Whence came this shadow Spreading its wings As the dance of death begins And so he plays the tune As frail as the midsummer moon Among bellflowers and devil's bite With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god Unholy force released The power of his spell unleashed By strange chords of blasphemy As the serpent move on through the night Moving away from the light Their skeletons a blistering white Those wounds will never heal Leaving its mark so surreal With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god I remember now... This is their requiem A dance in the absence of god With a song of doom That black shadow loomed - I remember now With a song of death It led their souls to rest - I remember now They were led by the devil A procession in blood A dance in the absence of god I remember now... This is their requiem A dance in the absence of god 02. Hour Of The Wolf Phantoms haunting me Specters in the night Making me stare into the eyes of death Bleak and mournful Deities in disguise Whispering curses with icy breaths From the shadows they come Relentless, their will be done And all that you hold dear Is bound to crumble And come to dust And come to dust Priests of sorrow Ushers of despair Wraiths sprung from where the gloom has sound Leaning down from above Their faces close to mine Slipped into this world from below From the shadows they come Relentless, their will be done And all that you hold dear Is bound to crumble And come to dust And come to... Dust Ghosts are haunting me In the dead of night Making me stare into the eyes of death Awake and in dreams alike In the hour of the wolf I open my heart to their dark caress 03. Leviathans Mighty regents of the sea Ageless kings and queens Wrathful deities of floods and all rains From the cataracts To the subterranean torrents In the primordial watery abyss Sovereigns of the deep and below O Leviathans Exalted be your throne Dark, vast expanses, infinite depths! Force flows endlessly Ascending from your womb Lead us to the epitome of your ways! You who are traveling as rivers out to the sea To become thе tears of gods The blood of the еarth We revere and beseech you! You daunting, magnificent beings Speak to us Speak to us Hear this prayer O undines Emerge from the holy waters From the roaring waves of the sea We will desire your grace Speak to us O Creatures of water Spirits of the sea and of change Of rivers and lakes And the formless things in the world Impart on us your wisdom Let us experience your force Bring us back to life From primordial chaos Into existence Forevermore O Leviathans Exalted be your throne Dark, vast expanses, infinite depths! Force flows endlessly Ascending from your womb Lead us to the epitome of your ways! O Leviathans Exalted be your throne Dark, vast expanses, infinite depths! Force flows endlessly Ascending from your womb Lead us to the epitome of your ways! 04. Dirge Of A Dying Soul As I chased a ghost from a feverish dream I got lost as I fled from the sun Through an endless night I walked alone The last hope I had clung to was gone And the wind, the trees, and the birds in the sky Had all become silent as death From the ground rose a foreboding smell And fog appeared to ascend Then I froze in my tracks and looked up When I realized that this is the place where I die Into the river I stepped and bade This age one last goodbye May I drift away in Acheron's swirls May my body be one with the earth again As I travel from world to world The black water so cold to my skin As I sigh and exhale my last breath My lungs are ash, my mind is void Now I am waiting for death TO THE UNKNOWN WATERS AHEAD Now as I sink I look up to the surface And oh! what a sight to behold! Blessed be the unfortunate ones That hear this dirge of a dying soul 05. Lethe [Instrumental] 06. Daughter Of The Djinn Nepenthe I drink from the river of the deep Cold barren earth beneath Embrace me Shroud me in your sweet forgiving sleep Oblivious about yesteryear Glowing embers The burning daughter of the djinn Possess me, I invite you in Smokeless flair The burning daughter of the djinn Fiery spirit, alight within Drink me, eat me I'll carry you away Nepenthe Sear me with your radiating power Not dead, but dreaming In slumber Reveal to me your vivid ways of seeing No doubts about yesteryear Glowing embers The burning daughter of the djinn Possess me, I invite you in Smokeless flair The burning daughter of the djinn Fiery spirit, alight within Drink me, eat me I'll carry you away Love me, crave me I won't lead you astray 07. Elementals Eternal spirits of all things Immortal, omniscient Holders of the keys To the hidden mysteries of the world Gods of the wind Sacred be the force of all fire Grand solid earthly power Wielders of the waters of change I hear the thunder, your call And leave to find my dwelling in your presence Guide me through nightly realms of magic In nature's arms, oh mighty souls Resplendent Your wisdom shines forth As infinite spirits Life and death are veering through your force Gods of the wind Sacred be the force of all fire Grand solid earthly power Wielders of the waters of change I hear the thunder, your call And leave to find my dwelling in your presence Guide me through nightly realms of magic In nature's arms, oh mighty souls 08. Inanna The Goddess opened her ear to the great below To her sister, the Black Widow, she wants to go Through the seven gates of hell she must pass alone And give up her sacred powers, her throne So there she stood, before her kin The Mistress of the black deep, her twin The Queen fastened on her the eye of death And the Goddess fell as her spirit escaped her flesh The Widow then cried out in birth travail The lament was heard, her wrath appeased Sprinkled on the corpse, the water of life And the Goddess once again would rise Complacent spouse sent to take her place INANNA, born again with demons' grace 09. Funeral Pyre Haunting spirit, hear these words that I proclaim I will guide your journey And you will have your due of flames Accept my humble sacrifice of the chosen few Slain and flayed before the pyre I'll make your wish come true The beautiful dead that surround me now Burnt black by the fires of death The beautiful dead that surround me now The transition through flames into the night As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre Oh, immortals hear my call, I've shorn my hair and lit the pyre The stars shine and the fires cast light on the mournful choir Winds, I summon you, from the north and from the west Gather to feed flames, come forth to greet your guest Blood is shed The wine is spilled Bellowing smoke from the tripods No words unsaid The deed fulfilled An offering to the gods Gathered now the burnt remains A stark reminder of the pains On the road to immortality Where lesser men would die The rites are ended on the morrow The bones interred beneath the barrow Enshrined in gold forever more Pray Elysium awaits, and the names go on The beautiful dead that surround me now Burnt black by the fires of death The beautiful dead that surround me now The transition through flames into the night As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre 10. The Wilderness On the first night I called to the DEVI The power at the base of the tree On its roots a dragon was gnawing Longing for its chance to be free From the earth She was sprung, the support of this world To whom we're all but the image of a child The destroyer of safety at the threshold of the path The road that will lead us into the wild On the second night I bathed in the waters Soaking up the dripping juices of the moon I found the stream of blood and I pleaded Please, grant me my wished for boons On the third night as I sat by my fire While inviting all the denizens to my side A city of jewels appeared before my eyes And I prostrated before my deathly bride Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness From birth to birth you have walked by my side Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness The place where the worlds open wide On the fourth night as the wind rushed through the tree I was ready to dispel my fears You rode up to me, with a noose in your hand To the unstruck music of the spheres Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness From birth to birth you have walked by my side Leaving the shelter for the great wilderness The place where the worlds open wide On the fifth night I heard it, as pure as white snow The seed that is clothed in space And at the seat of the lover and the beloved I humbly received their grace They call Her the one with the earrings Ascending from terrestrial planes Now standing straight, a mirror was made Now fit for the great wild plains
