Vaggande lugn
Becksvart hav
Smaken av sand
vandra i kvav
Vaggande lugn
Becksvart hav
"Mennesket er et tragisk dyr. Ikke på grunn av sin litenhet, men fordi de er overutrustet. Mennesker har lengsel og krav på de åndelige plan, som virkeligheten ikke kan
imøtekomme. Mannen er en meningskrevende vesen i en meningsløs verden."
Gå - gå rakt ut i kylan
Vänd inte om kom aldrig tillbaka mer
Gå - gå och försvinn i kylan
Ingen kommer tt märka när det sker
Gå - gå rakt ut i kylan
Följ din dröm och stilla all din skam
Gå - gå och försvinn i kylan
När allt är tyst så har du kommit fram
"Den dag skal komme da ingen husker de som husket meg.
Alt løper ut i ingenting.
Vi kommer fra et ubegripeligt ingenting.
Vi er her en stund i noe som synes like ubegripelig,
Og forsvinner så tilbake til det ubegripelige ingenting igjen.
Livets umulighet kan ikke løses - men det kan avvikles."
Sov och fyll din natt med drömmar
Drömmar som du aldrig kommer att minnas
Sov och drunkna tyst i stillhet
I ett iskallt hav där inget ljus kan finnas
Gå - gå rakt ut i kylan
vänd inte om kom aldrig tillbaka mer
Gå - gå och försvinn kylan
ingen kommer att märka när det sker
Välkommen ner din sjuka hund
och stilla din livslånga smärta
Varsågod att somna in
och drömma och likgiltig svärta
Vaggande lugn
Becksvart hav

Translation:
When time corrodes you
what do you dream about?
Cradling calm
pitch black sea
The taste of sand
Founder yourself
Cradling calm
pitch black sea
"Man is a tragic animal. Not because of his smallness, but because he is too well endowed. Man has longings and spiritual demands that reality cannot fulfill. Man requires meaning in a meaningless world."
Leave - leave out into the cold
Don't turn around and never come back
Leave - leave and disappear into the cold
No one will notice when it happens
Leave - leave out into the cold
Follow your dream and still all your shame
Leave - leave and disappear into the cold
When everything is quiet you have arrived
"The day will come when no one remembers those who have remembered me. Everything leads to nothing. We come from an inconceivable nothingness. We stay a while in something which seems equally inconceivable, only to vanish again into the inconceivable nothingness. The impossibleness of life cannot be solved - but it can be abolished."
Sleep and fill your nights with dreams
Dreams that you will never remember
Sleep and drown quietly in tranquillity
in an ice cold sea where no light can exist
Leave - leave out into the cold
Don't turn around and never come back
Leave - leave and disappear into the cold
No one will notice when it happens
Welcome down you diseased dog
and still your life-long pain
Feel feel to fall asleep
and dream about indifferent blackness
It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2022
Very lush expansive doom, lots of different arrangements and choral vocals, slow and sad and full of regret. Extremely high quality stuff. Sounds like a life’s work. Also quite heavy. Jono Schneider
