Illnath – Temporary Borders

Posted by admin on June 4th, 2010 and filed under border | 25 Comments »

Whispered words beneath the floating autumn leaves
Flying softly on the southern breeze
Fragments of light between the branches and trees
I wish I would stay here forever

The sun is sinking behind mountains of old
Brushing faintly clouds of red and gold

Night-time’s flinging a vast veil of velvet across fields and forest
Trespassing the havens of daylight’s temporary borders.
I knew my game could gain me but grief, the fairy tale was on though brief
Trespassing the havens of secrecy’s temporary borders.

Scratching the surface of times seemingly forgotten
Of you who once were mine betrothen
Digging ‘neath layers of emotions now rotten
I feel myself slip away
Nostalgic entertainment tingled by the past
You were the one to be mine at last
But now my memory’s ever fading so fast
Keeping emotions at bay

Here I sit, and memories unfold
My feelings are hollow, I’m feeling so old

[Female]
“I feel it fade away and cry tears in solitude”

Trespassing the havens of night-time’s temporary borders
As shadows collapse in the mating of day and night, crows are circling in
ominous flight
Trespassing the havens of my own temporary borders (temporary borders)

[Solo]

I tried… I tried hard to believe
Thinking of us has left me but grief
I cannot look ahead, the past is all I see
Moments together, but time’s a thief

Shadows recurring from times long since passed
Our time and now in a perfect contrast

[Female]
“As I see you sitting by my grave
I feel your presence, but can’t say a word
Your heart and love, patient and brave
But my soul is too late for you to save”

I am probably a fool still thinking of you
Night after night…
There’s not much else I can do
For neither myself nor you
Maybe I should leave and never come back to this place…
But I know too surely that I’m only fooling myself
I’m only fooling myself

    This is a great sounding band. Kinda reminds me of a cross between early Penumbra and Dimmu Borgir. I’m going to have to look into them more:)

  14. AbelSephaos Says:

    your obviously …
    your obviously ignorant. the lyrics are of mourning the loss of a mans dearest. if thats the case, then any widow, or old person who looks longingly at a picture of his or her deceased wife or husband is, in fact, emo. because that would make perfect sense, i suppose?
    no, your stupid if you think so.

    i’ll tell you a band depressing as fuck, XASTHUR & ghe song FUNERALS DRENCHED IN APATHY

  16. Sun212Tzu Says:

    EMO?! This isnt …
    EMO?! This isnt depressing, this is epic!!!!!!

  17. Cyberspine Says:

    No.

    I don´t …
    No.

    I don´t think football or demons would be more poetic. A tragedy is a very poetic subject, but also a very difficult one.

    There is a thin line between sorrow and self-pity. For me, this clearly crosses the line and I think it is just for those pathetic emo kids wallowing in it.

    I don´t say that everyone who likes this song is an emo. But these lyrics ARE emo nevertheless.

  18. brendanfode Says:

    Oh, right, it …
    Oh, right, it should be about football or demons because that is much more poetic. I suppose all poems about loss or tragedy are emo? Why not go one further and say any good book, no matter the amount of action it contains, that provokes an emotional response from the reader is emo?

    Emo is a term meant to describe; those individuals who believe that succumbing to their emotions completely, particularly despair, is cool and fashionable; the music that encourages wallowing in self pity.

    “As I see you …
    “As I see you sitting by my grave
    I feel your presence, but can’t say a word
    Your heart and love, patient and brave
    But my soul is too late for you to save”

    Oh boohoohoo.

    It takes a non-emo to recognize an emo.
