lyrics

I asked for its name
And it said unto me,
“You know my name,
You've always known.”
Then any sense of my power
Dissolved into its awful form

It travels in reflections
A vision of despair,
Measureless sorrow
I stood in its shadow
As the unsound ate reason
Terror subdued me,
and it wallowed

A simple look
Crippled me with grief
And I knew
This was the monument
That causes our pain
The pain of living
The monument
That causes our pain

Skies so dark
And the rain
It never ends
Pooling sadness
Faded daylight in Payne’s grey
This vision of misery grew
The way it split the sky
Its peak pierced my chest
My breath tapered off
Like the unsympathetic apex
The crushing presence of its aura
Draws color from the world around
Desires ebb, I fall, I cannot move

A simple look
Crippled me with grief
And I knew
This was the monument
That causes our pain
The pain of living
The monument
That causes our pain

Mournspire recommends:

The Sky Over
by Void of Silence

The Sky Over evokes a grey world, cold and unforgiving. Crushing instrumentation and dismal drones ring over frozen damnation, far from home. VoS returns effortlessly. Replayability is 100%. Mournspire

The Innumerable Stars
by Naeramarth

Extremely surprised by the emotion, musicianship, and songwriting put into The Innumerable Stars. We highly recommend to prog metal fans to dive into this one man project featuring amazing musicians. Mournspire

Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed
by Hooded Menace

HOODED MENACE expertly weave dreary funereal atmospheres with melodically driven songwriting and explode out of the depths, where cavernous death metal collides with gut-wrenching doom Mournspire

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
