lyrics
Alone With The Cross
Within the halls of the monastery
I walk the corridors in silence
A vow of abstinence and piety I made
To attain peace and holy guidance
All earthly pleasures I’ve forsworn
But when I’m desperate and forlorn
I take the crucifix down from my chamber wall
Longing to feel the Lord inside of me
The tempting body of christ puts me at a loss
My gut it hurts whenever I am
Alone with the cross
His wooden symbol bringing warmth and light
To where the sun is never shining
Makes me tremble with unholy ecstasy
Oh God, thy mercy I confide in
For this I can never atone
Heavenly father please condone
I take the crucifix down from my chamber wall
Longing to feel the Lord inside of me
The tempting body of christ puts me at a loss
My gut it hurts whenever I am
Alone with the cross
Defiled and broken, His image in my hands
Damned is my godforsaken soul
My oath no longer worth a toss
I weep in shame and bitter loss
Alone with my cross

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish. c1ch
A triumphant-but-bittersweet send-off from the Australian outfit, distilling a decade of doom-metal mayhem into five potent parting shots. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2023
