lyrics

like lightning it struck my mind
that dark voice from the past
blaming me for wasted years
chasing dreams that will not last

my timeglass is running out of sand
a black veil darkens the sky
fate was never in my hands
and all the shadows seemed to cry:

take me away from here!
light me a new path!
my last hope died so long ago,
please restore it now!

please restore it now! 2x

the sun and the stars had left my world
I was blinded by ignorance so cold
my ways never crossed happyness
my steps led nowhere in the end

I craved for salvation this night
at the horizon a light was shining bright
my eyes fell on it and I knew
that my time until now was thrown away

your light has guided me
back to myself I've found
dreams are never in vain 2x

so I finally rose from my knees
with a reborn soul
touched the luck for just one second
and escaped from the cold.

and escaped from the cold
and escaped from the cold
my last hope died so long ago
but you've restored it now!

Emptiness fills The Void
by Stortregn

supported by 11 fans who also own “Defeat of Despair”

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

Do not let the somewhat uninspiring cover fool you! this is some killer black / death metal. The riffs are amazing, as are the vocals. Getting the Non Serviam Records discography is one of the best things I have done this year! bmurator

Where Hatred Dwells And Darkness Reigns

Fantasque & Fantastique ! I love RandomWalk. I cannot think of any other group sounding like them. The closest you could get is a combination of Divercia, Oceans of Sadness, Mercenary and fresh garlic. Well, while randomly starting the album, I envisioned an extreme version of RandomWalk, and my heart beat faster. I drink decaf' coffee. Zornheym may not know any of the cited groups. Like them, they created a unique flavour of metal. unidual
