The Isolationist
03:37
|
|||
|
All alone, in solitude
Inside his home, the silence grows.
Echoing thoughts, filled with despair, the passage of time his burden to bear...
Feeling trapped, the cage of the mind, the only way out, a key he must find.
Turn the suffering on its head, find the joy in sorrow, nothingness becomes a friend with the promise of tomorrow.
Utter loneliness year after year,
Cradled by silence through laughter and tears,
The architect of his destiny, at the mercy of his works...
Ostracized.
No place to hide.
Deeper inside.
Across the great divide.
Deconstructing the self he now stands at the threshold of his own enlightenment.
The Isolationist solidifies and goes forth with diamond resolve, Conquering all fear and limitations...
The Isolationist!!

Duality
03:16
|
|||
|
There is a principle which governs all things, birthed from chaos, bringing order to form, a balance that like a pendulum swings, between two opposites, maintaining the whole.
Sky, Earth
Day and Night
Function, Structure
Sun and Moon
Fast, Slow
Energy and Fluids
Expressive, Calm
Birth and Death!
Never Ending Equilibrium.
All suspending, that which will become...
Duality!
Polarity!
Totality!
Duality!

It has been said with regards to intention, one must use care for what is sent comes back.
The foulest curse or kindest sentiment, will gestate then threefold manifest.
Towards you!
Whether your thoughts come from your joy or fear, similar energies will soon appear...
Therefore be mindful in all that you do,
Pointing your finger three point back at you...
Threefold Law of Return,
Painful life lessons we all must learn...
Feeling the strain from our own vindictive nature,
Turning inward, down the lighted path,
Masters of our own success or failure,
Ever mindful that what is sent returns...
Threefold!

The Four Agreements
04:37
|
|||
|
There is a story we have all been telling, based on assumptions it is the story of our lives.
Lies we have told ourselves daily, crippled with judgment and we suffer as we try.
Don't make assumptions, take back your life...
There are four agreements that will eliminate suffering, a way to take back control over your mind.
To stop the internal dialogue that permeates everything, ceasing the chatter that poisons your life.
The Four Agreements can change your life...
Wandering through life in a state of despair...
Through introspection the answer is there...
The Four Agreements!
You must be impeccable with your word.
Do not take anything personally.
Never make assumptions.
In all things do you your best.
With these four agreements a change will occur,
The opportunity to live your life,
Free from your own judgements, the guilt and resentment you placed on yourself.
Rewrite the story you have been telling,
The burden of suffering you've faced begins to fade and is erased with time!

The Five Hindrances

There are five obstructions, corruptors of the mind,
Weakeners of wisdom, The Five Hindrances!
The Five Hindrances!
The Five Hindrances!
Seeking pleasure through the five senses...
Feelings of resentment and bitterness...
Half-hearted action...
The inability to focus...
Lack of conviction!
Sensual desire.
Ill will.
Sloth and torpor.
Restlessness and worry.
Doubt.
The Five Hindrances!
The Five Hindrances!
There are seven factors, seven ways of enlightenment, when they are developed they bring liberation.
Mindfulness.
Investigate reality.
Energy.
Rapture.
Inner Calm.
Concentration.
Equanimity.
The Five Hindrances!

Parhelion
05:14
|
|||
|
As dawn hypnotizes, with battle on the rise, two opposing forces raise their heads towards the skies, beyond their comprehension, that which they see, instead of a lone shining sun, the one has turned to three...
Growing apprehension, plagued uncertainty, for this must be an omen of what is soon to be, the troops are growing restless, minds filled with unease, for there are three suns now rising just above trees...
Hear my words, oh men of power, be not afraid,
For this prognostication is a blessing on this day,
Three suns, three rightful thrones represented in the skies, we are destined for victory, now go forth and take their lives!
So on they went...
With sword in hand.
The battle would be won.
In the name of Parhelion.
Parhelion, sacred orbs now flank the sun,
The path of the chosen ones...light the way, oh, Parhelion!
Parhelion, sacred orbs now flank the sun,
The path of the chosen ones...light the way, oh, Parhelion!

Carried on Ancient Winds
03:09
|
|||
|
Standing alone wind brushes my skin, stirring something deep from within, a familiar feeling from places unknown yet somehow carries the comfort of home,
Though I can feel it, it's just out grasp, like a voice echoing from the past, while I stand silent it takes me away, and just for a moment it ceases the pain.
Carried on Ancient Winds, the comforting promise of Death!
A brief vision from distant lands, mountains and temples among desert sands, the winds that blew there are blowing today, meanwhile the skies are turning to grey,
The breeze then rises, touching my face, it serves to remind there's an end to my days. I slowly smile and close my eyes, I feel the beyond, the land of goodbyes...
Carried on Ancient Winds, the comforting promise of Death!
Flanked by superficial frauds of modern times,
This despondent nothingness is left for the wise,
The overwhelming feeling that man has gone astray,
Is forever silenced by the winds that blow this way.
Carried on Ancient Winds, the comforting promise of Death!
Carried on Ancient Winds, the comforting promise of Death!

Death Shroud Blacksburg, Virginia
USBM from Blacksburg, Virginia. Founded in 2007.
New album "Parhelion" out now!
If you like Death Shroud, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Parhelion”
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10
