Lyrics

I see, I see them falling
I hear, I hear them calling
All alone, once again
All alone with all my sins down below

Maybe if I close my eyes, I won’t see the faces
All the living, all the dead, the dark unholy places
All those many years ago when paradise was lost
We never heard the warning, and we never knew the cost

Redeem us from this nightmare
Deliver us from pain
Deliver us from evil
So they’ll never rise again from down below

Don’t listen to the voices as they tell me what to do
The twisted schemes of evil that they’ve hidden from our view
Ignore the pounding Hell-rain and their crucible of fear
Ignore the silent screaming that the end will soon be here

Immortal choirs sound the call, malignant in my head
The only way for silence in this land of broken dead
Take their sunken dream, forever trap them in my mind
And fight the endless battle for the souls of all mankind

Redeem us from this nightmare
Deliver us from pain
Deliver us from evil
So they’ll never rise again from down below

Check it out here:

From the majestic eight-minute-long “Sailor On The Seas Of Fate,” which starts with a reflective arpeggio and builds into a pounding, near-tribal volley before segueing into a bleak, slow burn of retribution and agony, to the final three movements of the “Dark Parade” saga (comprised of “Dark Parade,” “Distant Shadows,” and “Down Below“), CIRITH UNGOL‘s latest album offers a metallic soundtrack of societal decay and environmental collapse that foreshadows nothing less than total extinction. (Metal Blade)

TIM: (SEE PREVIOUS)

JIMMY: I WAS ASKED TO BREAK OUT THE WAH PEDAL FOR THE MAIN SOLO ON THIS SONG. AND WHILE RECORDING IT, I HAD A SORT OF OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE AS THE NOTES JUST CAME TO ME. AND MY FOOT MOVED THE WAH PEDAL AS IF PREDESTINED

ROB: THIS SONG STRUNG TOGETHER BY JIMMY’S HAUNTING ACOUSTIC GUITAR IS THE FINALE OF THIS DARK AND DISTURBING WORK OF OURS, A GIFT TO ALL OF YOU ON THIS DOOMED PLANET! IT WAS, AND IS, THE CULMINATION OF ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING ABSORBED INTO OUR BEING FROM THE PANDEMIC, THE LOST LIVES, CANCELLED SHOWS, ISOLATION AND STIMULI DEPRAVATION. IT FEATURES SOME OF MY BEST DRUMMING ON THE ALBUM AND ONE OF JIMMY’S BEST SOLOS. AS THE SONG RISES TO THE ULTIMATE CRESCENDO, ALL THIS PENT-UP EMOTION IS UNLEASHED ON THE LISTENER WITH OUR FINAL GASPING BREATH. TRULY A “A CHURNING MAELSTROM OF METAL CHAOS DESCENDING!”.

“Dark Parade” saga:
