lyrics

Tried to Leave

"Still remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives
nor lives any other than this which he now loses
for a man cannot lose either the past or the future
for what a man has not how can anyone take this from him
for the present is the only thing of which a man can be deprived
all things from eternity are of like forms and come round in a circle
the longest and shortest are thus brought to the same
for the present is the same to all
though that which perishes is not the same
and so that which is lost appears to be a mere moment
for a man cannot lose either the past or the future
for what a man has not
how can anyone take this from him"

Staring down into the void
Failure has become my world
Staring into the dark
Failure has become my past
I feed off of what is gone
I can't hold on for much long
Crashing down before my eyes
For my mistakes and all my doubts

"Still remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives
nor lives any other than this which he now loses
for a man cannot lose either the past or the future
for what a man has not how can anyone take this from him
all things from eternity are of like forms and come round in a circle"

Holding on, holding on and I try to be strong

Trying to feel some sort of happiness I've forgotten long ago
Trying to leave some sort of emptiness I've discovered long ago

We are nothing

It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering". xleggend

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

supported by 21 fans who also own “Tried to Leave”

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes

Despartire
by Clouds Official

supported by 19 fans who also own “Tried to Leave”

Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs Andrew Derksen
