lyrics
After seven weeks of sailing
our hopes began to fade out.
Famine was fastly spreading
and barrels were drying.
A starving bird dived in nothingness
and nothing he brought out.
Motionless, the sea was calm,
lifeless, no trace of life.
The heat was far beyond all bearing
every breath of wind, dying out.
Fortune wasn’t coming
a desert growing before our eyes.
The crew began to fret
they wanted to spit their fire out.
Roaring, howling, sharping knives
their eyes were skinned by light.
The sea was clear to see beneath
the water seemed so transparent
that everything became so evident.
A presence was,
personified through the glass
his deep blue eyes,
from the profound of the sea
and a human form,
so similar to a fish.
Glaucus
Heavy are
the locks of his hair
wet are the curls of his beard
pale skin
like the shroud of the dead
he was lying down on his bed.
A fish tail bent back to the waist
the arms strong
of battling the waves
the breast covered
in seaweed and moss
strange herald of a certain loss.
Dark prophecy
of the obscure art
of a chosen one.
our hopes began to fade out.
Famine was fastly spreading
and barrels were drying.
A starving bird dived in nothingness
and nothing he brought out.
Motionless, the sea was calm,
lifeless, no trace of life.
The heat was far beyond all bearing
every breath of wind, dying out.
Fortune wasn’t coming
a desert growing before our eyes.
The crew began to fret
they wanted to spit their fire out.
Roaring, howling, sharping knives
their eyes were skinned by light.
The sea was clear to see beneath
the water seemed so transparent
that everything became so evident.
A presence was,
personified through the glass
his deep blue eyes,
from the profound of the sea
and a human form,
so similar to a fish.
Glaucus
Heavy are
the locks of his hair
wet are the curls of his beard
pale skin
like the shroud of the dead

A fish tail bent back to the waist
the arms strong
of battling the waves
the breast covered
in seaweed and moss
strange herald of a certain loss.
Dark prophecy
of the obscure art
of a chosen one.

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.
