“As autumn leaves / So much to be desired / We’re left to grieve / The rites of spring expired”: wordplay left and rite in this short stanza from “Life Will Be the Death of Me”.
Originally released in 2018 with an interactive 360 degree video, this song first marked My Lament’s turn towards what would become the sound of “The Season Came Undone”.
lyrics
Last summer breeze
Left such a bitter taste
Mark of disease
All that lives must go to waste
Idle hope succumbs to reason
The evening light is fading fast
Welcome the dying season
Every night may be your last
Life finds a way in the end
Life will prevail
Life will transcend
Life will take its course
Some find it comforting to hear
But I must confess my darkest fear
Is life’s unbridled force
Life will be the death of me
Life – life will be the death of me
As autumn leaves
So much to be desired
We’re left to grieve
The rites of spring expired
Midwinter’s vow of silence
The frozen lake, the dying hare
But something stirs
In dreams of violence
Beneath the ice, down every lair
Life finds a way in the end
Life will prevail
Llife will transcend
Life will take its course
Some find it comforting to hear
But I must confess my darkest fear
Is life’s unbridled force
Life will be the death of me
Life – life will be the death of me
No more sorrow
No more memories
No more tomorrow
Life will be the death of me

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes
