Chasing the Void

They watch with closed eyes....
speaking through us, becoming us... yet still they stray
channeling their voices, singing in unison until the end of days
wailing... chasing the void
It's so quiet... like a birth in the aether
A nameless child claws free from the womb
a moment of clarity... compassion...
clinging on, now slipping into death's cradle
We watch with closed eyes....
breathing through us, welcoming us... yet still we stray
channeling their agony
grieving in unison until the end of days
wailing... embracing the void
Vengeful apparitions masquerade among us
Baring a guise of benevolence and mercy
A delusion which we choose to ignore
What fools...
We should be so grateful just to be awake,
and endlessly relive our darkest days
It is so close now. So very close...

The Ghost Beside Me

I am always and never alone
Whispers in my ear when I close my eyes
And dream of running barefoot
through the poppy fields
and dancing in misty meadows
With each briny breath
I can almost remember
The blood in my veins
My reflection in the watery mirror
And a glowing sun beneath the waves
As voice is carried away by the wistful breeze
I slip away from you, and from me
I sleep soundlessly in my river bed
The wind and cold water
Shining wounds reflected within the red ripples
Like little smiling faces under glass
washing away the memories
The sun ever gleaming in my eyes
Eyes which I can no longer close
So very tired now and sleep will come quick
The last secret I will keep with me
Forgive me for leaving, but I am just so tired
Now I finally feel safe
The Ghost beside me... is me

Shaping A Fragile Utopia

Cast your eyes to behold me...
Another day comes to swallow the stars
Morning takes hold and shapes the things to come
I can’t recover life before my wish to fly
Feathers falling slowly... gray like the clouds which blanket sky
A discord rises and echoes with one voice
nothing comes from passive means
Not having learned to live
I will wait for you
Cast your eyes to behold me
mother of creation
forger of light
bringer of darkness
Born into light... and into darkness
an enigma of twisted fate
Born into light...
A heart beats
Breathing life is no simple thing
Blooming Earth takes her steps slowly
Cautiously dreaming of years unchanging
All I can do now is comfort her pain
When summer snow burns night torn shade
When the requiem is sung for each new day
When all things undone... I will return
Cast your eyes to behold me...
We grow old within the womb... all is undone
Cast your eyes to behold me
mother of creation
forger of light
bringer of darkness

The Origin Of Sleep
04:25
|

I am a little girl
chasing butterflies
remembering all that was
yet still I sleep in mother's arms
why can I not wake?
I am a baby
dreaming of birds and thistle
flowers and stone
and creatures of the earth
I remember many years from now
yet still I sleep
cradled in mother's arms
why can I not wake?
I am a woman
asleep by the river bed
I speak to myself
for so very long now
I’m so very cold
so very still
lungs rife with stagnant air
why can I not wake?
mother hold me
cradle me close to you
and kiss me goodbye
lay my body to the ground
that I may bloom
to seed the soil
I am a little girl again
running through poppy fields
dancing through misty meadows
chasing butterflies
chasing myself to sleep
remembering so many years ago
cradled in mother's arms
and again.... I sleep
I am a baby
sleeping again
in mother's womb
remembering all that was
fading now... I am awake

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3

I could listen to this over and over - and I have. It's so beautiful.

"[...] Cernunnos" is a wonderful, mystical dream and already belongs to the group of albums that I consciously start listening to when I'm actually too tired to listen to music and know full well that I'll have to doze off at some point. One likes to save this kind of euphony into the subconscious at night. [...]" my whole (German) review: https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/12/dark-sanctuary-cernunnos.html

This album takes me on a wonderful journey. As for my favorite track, I could hardly decide between 'ISAE' and 'Everything's about to change forever'. From my feeling I can already feel an immense progress compared to 'Cosmic Drone' in terms of the clarity of the sound. Thank you for sharing this album with us! <3
