lyrics

The earth was soaked
from low hanging mist
ghost of the last nights storm
I went to my tools and i did choose
the shovel on the wall.
It was packed with rust
and it’s splintered handle
suited me just fine.
In this stage of decay and uselessness
It seemed a friend of mine.

I set off into the woods
for a hill to die upon.
for worth in a worthless world
only to discover loss .
On the first strike my shovels blade
was blunted on stone and slate
I can’t even seem to bury myself
without another damn mistake.

And with every shovel full
another memory
floated through my mind .
and I’d fill this pit
back up with my tears
if I had any left to cry.
the deeper that I dig
the more that I regret
I ever started digging at all.
I was so low
I had to dig a hole
just to have some place to fall.

As the rain fell down
I hoped I’d drown,
and rid the world of my misery.
I’d be better off
floating face down
than people having to deal with me.
For a moment I climbed,
but all the roots and rocks
on the walls came lose.
Sent me crashing down
back to the bottom of
this watery grave I did choose.

And with every shovel full
another memory
floated through my mind .
and I’d fill this pit
back up with my tears
if I had any left to cry.
the deeper that I dig
the more that I regret
I ever started digging at all.
I was so low
I had to dig a hole
just to have some place to fall.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

I think the concluding song encapsulates what I most enjoy about this album: a defiant hopefulness that stands against the dark, determined to rise again when its knocked down, determined that it will know hope. archival_blob
