Dust, dispersed
Dancing on pillars of dawn spilled through seas of glass
Naught but a breath without the caress of light

Sing, oh children of loss
Your cracked hands grasping for wonder in emptiness
Stretching to the heavens from the depths of woe
Like diamonds buried in ash
Embers, smothered by the whispering ache of death
Staring blind into the unsound light
Still your breath slowly withers
Awake, awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in the radiance of the unfailing
Darkness is naught but a canvas
Void awaiting the stroke of dawn
Let not these bones remain as shadows, suspended on dust
Breathe in life and outshine this soundless ruin
This failure built on the vanity of man
Awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in light
Awake, awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in light

Wither

Oh, hear the frail sigh of death, collapsing
Still she walks among us
Head held high, tarnished in perfect failure
A wreckage, a shell, pitiful and weak
Crushed beneath the weight of mercy
Those timeless wings of radiant sorrow
Withering, as dust, to nothingness
‘Forgive me, Father
I am but a thread, unraveling
Lost unto the air
I am undone
I am undone’
Oh failure, subside
That my voice no longer be still beneath your shadow
Spread no more those wings of sorrow
Withering, as dust, to nothingness

I am dust and ash
Carrying the pallor of despair
Lesser light, a tainted reflection of glory
I am not what I was made to be
And my words have sent sons and daughters to the grave
Hearts left to warm the earth in silent ruin
My own strength will fall to nothing
Old sorrow will soon find me here again
But it's sullen thrum will not fracture this shell
The resonance of grief echoes not through these walls
For in this place of stillness, bitterness is yet turned to the sweetest honey
And scars are turned to gold
Beauty is found in failure
Bitter is turned to sweet
Scars are turned to gold
All is made new

Vessel

There’s no light here
My hands are raised
Though my shoulders ache and shudder beneath the weight
This silence ringing in my ears, deafening like the lull of a final breath
Drowning out Your voice
I can’t feel You here
I am not enough, mere dust of earth and breath of God
I can feel this body dying all around me
This soul is wearing thin, but still You radiate
You show me rest in this vessel, broken and weary from the strain
Wash me over, wash me over
Come oh wind, oh breath of life
Still these waves that seek to drown me
My voice will rise above these looming mountains
These towering pillars of loss and defeat

Ruin
11:11
|
|||
|
In this tempest of nothingness
Searing like a spark of absence, flickering into flame
This darkness is overwhelming
Even still Your light consumes me
Saturate me
As the stars of Heaven and their constellations cease to shimmer
Come and shine bright, light of the divine
Fracture the grip of the dark, dissolve in ruin and isolation
Come and shine bright, light of the divine
Saturate me

Ter encontrado a segunda formação do Batushka ao vivo ano passado em São Paulo foi, sem sombra de dúvidas, uma das maiores experiências de catarse envolvendo apresentações ao vivo em toda minha vida. Excepcional em todos sentidos, a ritualística e ortodoxismo fundido ao black metal atmosférico abraça uma gama de vertentes que mentalidades engessadas colapsariam ao tentar conceber tal realização.
