Your broken sandglass is drained away,
and you gleamed before disappearing.
Your last light was brighter than the Sun,
and this night was longer than our life...
Amongst the shades I stand in nowhere,
the nothingness slowly invades me,
All that I have is the last lost gleam of hope,
All time when I wait the sunrise I hear your voice;
“I am a thousand wind that blow,
I am the diamond dint on the snow,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning hush."
As we live with our passion and die with our pain
I have had enough time to realize that.
When I look at the mirror I see pale gloom and the traces of my last breath,
Before I've disappeared I wished I could say my last goodbye to you,
but there was no time and I disappeared like melted snow in your hand...
And now you are gone.
The emptiness that I've had swallows me, all my flesh,
till it turns, into ashes.
And now I'm alone,
the Burning fire makes me cold,
And my soul is so old, and tired of empty hopes...
I have seen that angels when I've fallen,
The sharpest suffering is for stayed ones, not for gones.
If I will be hugged and covered by silence just remember me.
I am the sweet uplifting rush
of the quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars, that shine at night,
Don't stand at my grave and cry,
I am not here, I didn't die..."
As the last rays of the fading Sun are shining,
I'll take them all to hide in the black hole from ones,
who exploited my lost days that passed in absence,
amongst the shades that have been living behind the Sun...
We'll be together in our remembrance forever.
You can see me everywhere but not here (not at my grave)
"Don't stand at my grave and weep.
I'm not there, I don't sleep...

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

There's something about Immensity's take on the genre that is far more immersive and emotive than average, and it lies in those lengthy, dynamic tracks that feel like they're telling a story with their melodies and sound manipulation. Looking for a potential breath of fresh air in death doom? This album may be for you.

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again.
I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom. fluo

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
