lyrics

Hold these two swords
With both eyes closed
I turned to you
And you’re there with me

When can I open my eyes?
When can I carry on?
Red soil and ocean sky
Desert lips, still so dry

Reflecting
and glittering
Is this snow
or is this ash?

The fire burns
The ash still chokes
The rain still comes
As the lungs they quietly wheeze

I still dream
A mouth open
Your name I call
As I fall

That shame lives on It’s etched in the air
This rope I pull, only to ﬁnd
No beginning, no end
Full dark, no stars

a fire
a string
two eyes they look through me
as I fall, into the abyss
I still see through

The Weakest piece of string

The moth’s wings hide two closed eyes
(the two closed eyes, closed eyes)

I saw E-L-R on Tour with Wolves in the Throne Room in Münster/Germany earlier this year. Beautiful post black metal and pretty nice guys - met them by the merch table after the concert. Sælzer Bub
