Umbra Horrenda from Nekyia by Menace Ruine

Umbra Horrenda

I once heard of a name known to the dead
Ebbing and flowing among the living

In the lowest octave of pain
Where waves are still
Let me be hidden in sleep

In the quiet waters of night
Let me heal
In the mirroring pool of dreams

Where memory returns
And no matter what happens
He will never be forgotten

Nothing changes but the world is ending

Grief and fear unseen in the shadows
Will we finally make a home out of our cage?

As we are losing the battle
Will they ever feel the sun on their face
And grass under their feet?

Our horrendous shadow
Has been spreading all around
And they are all going away

The world has been turned inside out
Its dark side made to seem light
Will never refract rainbows but wars

Let us all take a dive into the belly of the whale
And leave the monster dead once and forever

Breathe in the pain for the world
Breathe it out through our hearts
Join the moaning of beings in the lowest hells

Creatures of the dark womb
May my heart be your shrine
You’ll never be forgotten

Nothing changes but the world is ending

Grief and fear unseen in the shadows
Will we finally make a home out of our cage?


Flood the Earth with your own tears
May the saddest among the living
Build an ark together and sail away

The lengths that we would go to bring you love
Like a mountain we’ll think it all
Storms will lead us home
We will find our way

The lengths that we would go to bring you love
And through your subtle smile, your subtle smile
We will know that we’ve reached your heart,
We’ll know that we have found our way

Umbra Horrenda
Is everywhere to be found
From pain we shy away

May our hearts break open
So it holds the whole universe
The whole universe
