life failures made music

by stroszek

1.
I die every time the sun is upon me my face is old and pale I face the end and with every beginning, a new end for I am the unlucky one feel sorry for someone else feel guilty for myself feel sorry for myself got a new place? got your life back? my things are left undone sun is far away feel sorry for someone else feel guilty for myself feel sorry for myself ...and there's nothing to miss light a candle when I'm gone
2.
some places I've seen in my dreams so far that I cannot reach the light of the pain that enlightens the dark of the corner of my soul gone by the fall as the leaves turn to ashes, I'll be... some places I've never been so near that I cannot breath the light of the pain that enlightens the dark of the corner of my soul I know exactly what you mean gone by the fall as the leaves turn to ashes, I'll be.. alone in this field the night still talks about it from the bottom of a deep dark well, dead silent gone by the fall as the leaves turn to ashes, I'll be... dead silent from the bottom of a deep dark well there's nothing I can do I know exactly what you mean

undead hotel 03:34
nothing can keep this burden away little gold prison is where I stay I sit through this long day soaked in mud can't close the door, everything is too far ice in my glass will keep me from scream sitting alone shrouded in clouds misery, pain and voices from the past time to sleep forever but not to rest
4.
white trees like bones mountain ghost leaves no traces in the snow long gone vision now fades white trees like bones autumn nights hunt dogs singin' their campfire song but their howling is through mourning song of the mountain moon I am alone as the hills and it's all I can do ...and it feels like far
5.
autumn's taking over all the trees are gone autumn's taking over grave stones line the road no need to remember the rain to fall troubled strangers on the other side there's no need to remember the rain to fall troubled strangers on the other side crows are flying east where I fall
6.
moon is always full and bright the wind blows at one with the voices a flame of a long distant past between the rustling of the trees on the grass, slow sleep like an old forgotten... twilight descends over the hills ...songs from the past
7.
tomorrow I will be just dirt so empty, my existence, so blank I am a lifeless thing so empty, so blank got to face this night alone I got no place to call home so empty, so blank got to face this night alone
8.
as I lay me down to die another cloud pass on by got a new way to end just too old and gray, that's what I am and everything that I can keep not sure that will resist the end has came, so strange for me and I got to face it so alone the band is playing the last song is hard to believe I did it all so wrong the band is playing the last song as I lay me down to rest with all the things I left behind once I travelled this old damn world but it was a long time ago and everything that I can't keep I am sure that won't resist the end has came, and that's not strange for me the band is playing the last song is hard to believe I did it all so wrong the band is playing the last song
9.
got to be alone, bed of cold stone cold in my bones, no place to call home and this will be last for me to breathe this air I know this won't be nothing new the light begins to show its blue got to stay near, pass over my fear someday, far from here... and this will be last for me to breathe this air I know this won't be nothing new the light begins to show its blue

about

Stroszek returns with their second opus, the follow-up to 'Songs of Remorse', with the aplty titled 'Life Failures Made Music'; and with song titles like 'The Unlucky Ones', 'Gone by the Fall', & 'Land of Silence and Darkness' its no secret that this album is filled with crushing sadness. Take equal parts Neo-Folk, the fatalist mentality of Black Metal, the darkness of older Alice in Chains, the beautiful acoustics of latter-day Antimatter and the painfully soft, whispered vocals of Tom Waits and it is easy to see precisely why this crushing sadness is what makes this record so damn special.
