Eine besondere Liebeserklärung, speziell am Tag Hochzeit.

In Tabernacle Debacle we see not a total absence of faith but a lack there of. And a admittance of a higher power though the character may feel alone. This person had high faith just like the character in my piece called The Thorn of Misery. But there's a struggle within. A struggle that becomes even more apparent because there isn't an answer readily available to the character (or so he or she thinks!). The very fact that this being had woke up is proof enough! But this isn't meant to be happy. I was inspired by death doom metal when I wrote this piece. Not so much poetic like some of my other pieces. Just in your face death doom. Think early work from the like of My Dying Bride. No rhyme scheme. I envision harsh gutteral vocals:)

Losing someone suddenly can often be the hardest type of loss to deal with because of it's shock and unexpectedness. Often we search for reasons or an explanation to help us with our grief as a way to deal with, and release these emotions. These lyrics are a way to express these feelings and to help acknowledge and deal with loss and grief.

D.F.H.S. MMXVIII is a second installment. Still drawing heavy influence on Doom/death. Imagine this being spoken intro to an album with eeire background with clean vocals.

D.F.H.S. details romance and same-sex love (also the title to my compilation of writings). I can imagine this being spoken. Dispensed of heavy metallic sound to evoke the presence of dark romanticism. Maybe some soft piano. I feel this would make a good album opener. Heavily inspired by early My Dying Bride. No rhyme scheme. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Death/doom metal/gothic metal.
