lyrics

Distance Cradle
Floating with the moon
One eye blinking; spasmic images of all of you
Less abused
Helps me sleep at night

Wake up
Feared dreams remain, vivid and pulsing, surging with sickness
Deflated, I return, to taste the earth again
With frostbite thawed and forgotten, I enter the blizzard
Retracing the steps once left behind
Find me, hold me, kiss my head
Hear me

I’m mute to you,
Though my wounds’ revealed, and I’m bleeding out
Your empathy’s failed; you sit there picking at scabs, ever beckoning me to bandage them
With sores still weeping
I’ll limp home, alone, again

Licking at my wounds with a bleeding tongue
A regretful relapse
A failed faith
A forgotten lesson, relearned
Slide back under the covers
Distance Cradle

Atmospheric Doom / Death Metal from Australia. Proper Doom has the power to bring out your emotions & your sadness and forces you to process it so that you come out the other side feeling temporarily better. This is proper Doom Metal, at least for me, it does all those things... :) Love every song! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann

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
