Upstairs-he went - carried up by a small box
Familiar-faces - the circle hasn’t changed
Half a year gone by without feeding the vein
short words exchanged in an empty flat
The shot hit gold
his mind just hit the floor
This is the way out
collapse and fall through the door
Tumbling Backwards
hands searching for hold
familiar faces
melting together with walls
a cold wave of blood
spreading in his torso
no words are left
by an open mouth
Some steps-downstairs
then everything turned to ice
Air left his lung
Pinpoint pupils shut off the light
That’s where_the others
found him dead and dragged him back
inside
Rigor mortis made a visit.
Did it’s job and departed.
Grey deranged extremities
in the arms of decay.
The appartment started to smell.
while flies did find their castles.
It became unbearable.
and raised a treacherous smell.
Wrapped up- in a curtain- they stuffed him in a closet.
Even heroin- can’t cover - the smell of a dead body.
The blooming - stench reached out. Reached out - into the stairhouse.
The radius kept growing.
They tossed his corpse off the balcony..

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
