Corridors 04:13
Lead me down these halls of sorrow Through catacombs of my tomorrows Passed the gates that house the dead Kill the voices inside my head This chapel offers no sanctuary Forbidden shrine of misery Laid to rest on hallowed ground Of sanity that’s never to be found Bleed the blessed and purge the soul As I crawl back into that hole A blackened pit of my despair Leaves me with no will to care Among the headstones far beyond Somber skies that wake the dawn Creating things that should not be Closing walls of sanity Bury pain so deep below Where seeds of agony cannot grow Of a time that heals no wounds Hiding pain within its tombs So drag the swamps And scour the moors Inside these mental corridors Bleed the blessed and purge the soul As I crawl back into that hole A blackened pit of my despair Leaves me with no will to care

Wintersick 05:14
Madness creeps in to steal my mind Unwelcomed ghost of some other time Frozen bones seek hibernation As winter wrath breeds consternation Memories die with fading sun Like claustrophobia upon my tongue Nothing lasts forever Outside the swirling ivory hell Frigid air so mesmerizing For inside it I shall dwell Pacing floors of depression A head so full of tricks An everlasting bitterness Has left me Wintersick Beneath the frozen skies As seen through crystal eyes Poison the soul and devouring light Of another hypothermic night

Burning bridges underneath a crimson sky Cremate the heart and watch the spirit fly In a world where nothing’s what it seems to be The destroyer set out to kill your dreams Familiar stranger that lurks in the night Unleashing sorrow then fades out of sight Mark my words for I’ve come to bring pain To bury the past and extinguish your flame Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways Devouring light that once lit your way Bring on the darkness, bringing darkness Scatter the ashes of those who betray I am the darkness, I am darkness Acid words from venomous lips Welcome darkness, welcoming darkness In a world of scars and slit wrists Engulfed in darkness, engulfing darkness Familiar stranger that lurks in the night Unleashing sorrow then fades out of sight Mark my words for I’ve come to bring pain To bury the past and extinguish your flame Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
4.
Time has come to end all this Put the dirt upon our grave I bid farewell to you my friend You’ve been led astray Your light has brought the dark Sealing off the will to breathe Building walls around us all Suffocates my every need In times of desperation Condemned to face alone Your words bring absolution Cutting deeper to the bone In times of desperation Condemned to face alone Your words bring absolution Cutting deeper to the bone It’s the letting go It’s the letting go It’s the letting go Just letting go No longer ties that bind Have turned to fratricide Dead weight that holds me down From a king without his crown In times of desperation Condemned to face alone Your words bring absolution Cutting deeper to the bone In times of desperation Condemned to face alone Your words bring absolution Cutting deeper to the bone

I emerge once again As cold as winter air I’ve lost myself in lunacy Mannequin of my despair The walls begin to crack And voices call my name From far beyond the black I will never be the same Into the depths I plummet Inside this living hell When sanity eludes me I’m trapped under its spell Ignore the words Dispel the voices heard It’s just a trap Beware...there is no turning back I feel the fever Of a thousand dreams Smolder like the funeral pyre Returning once again to fire Ignore the words Dispel the voices heard It’s just a trap Beware there is no turning back Ignore the words Dispel the voices heard It’s just a trap Beware... I feel the fever Of a thousand dreams Smolder like the funeral pyre Returning once again to fire
6.
The Circling vultures Await my demise I wander aimlessly With these cold dead eyes The futures fires Still ignite the past So hold your tongue now Pray it won’t last Feeding the demons Of death and despair Closet of skeletons Leaves a stench in the air The bitter taste so rancid Poisoning the soul Bury my sacrificial heart Six feet below There is no longer the light In a place such as this When plunging headlong Into the abyss Lowered to the depths Sinking to new levels Immersed in agony When Knee Deep in Devils Knee Deep in Devils Knee Deep in Devils Knee Deep in Devils Knee Deep in Devils
7.
One more day for remembrance Another one to mourn the loss Time stands still in these grieving hours In bereavement I bear this cross Heads hang low in reverence From sickness within the womb And death, that seems to hover Like a black cloud over my tomb Visions haunt lifeless eyes One last breath as daylight dies Darkness creeps slowly into view Leaves me with the ghost of you 10 Days....... 10 Days....... No praying words can resurrect Or fill the hole within this void Time arrives yet heals no wounds That has left the heart destroyed 10 Days....... 10 Days....... 10 Days of Disbelief
8.
Hidden safe behind masks of normality As serpents rise to spread their insanity Some are determined to consume and devour While others are left in the suffering hour So plant the seed Of that that should not be The sullen darkness grows To send the pain below Relentless are the ways of the obsessed Spitting in the eyes of the oppressed Gather around and witness mankind’s despair And revel in the wake of his nightmare So plant the seed Of that that should not be The sullen darkness grows To send the pain below You poison the well Then lead them to drink Drown in the tainted waters Of a mind pushed to its brink If I sent you pain would you return the favor Or would you take it all in and enjoy its flavor
9.
The entrance to the gates of pain Leads me to this place, this place forlorn Of many hearts left here to rot And love that remains stillborn Sorrow brings the hollow man With stones inside my chest Sewing seeds of suffering So beautifully depressed You come to me with a Judas kiss On black wings my angel of anguish Release me from this stranglehold Of your love grown dead and cold Sorrow brings the hollow man With stones inside my chest Sewing seeds of suffering So beautifully depressed Feed me from the poison tree Wrap me in your cold embrace I wither like a dying flower Who’s roots have been displaced
10.
No fire, no warmth No light to guide the way Just faded memories Of a dismal yesterday No vision, no hope No faith in the unseen When the hand of fate comes down And Smothers everything Then Comes the Darkness And nothing to believe In cold and utter silence With no chance for reprieve No desire, no urge No will to carry on Brings a constant longing Of what lies beyond No breath, no pulse Creates another sickness Like poison in the veins So bleak are the long days ahead For those who mourn for the dead Meet me in the dreams so real Of darkened nights where pain congeals Then Comes the Darkness And nothing to believe In cold and utter silence With no chance for reprieve No fire, no warmth No light to guide the way Just faded memories Of a dismal yesterday No vision, no hope No faith in the unseen When the hand of fate comes down And Smothers everything

Say you don't know me, you'll burn You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't want me, you'll learn Nothin' you do will be new, cause I'm through Call me a liar, you knew You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right Call me the Devil, it's true Some can't accept but I crept inside you So if a stranger calls you Don't let him whisper your name Cause it's Voodoo, yeah Fade into shadow, you'll burn Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good Never look back, never turn It's a question of time 'till you're mine and you learn So if a stranger calls you Don't let him whisper your name Cause it's Voodoo, yeah Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all Your back's to the wall Life's fantasy to be locked away And still, to think you're free, you're free, we're free So live for today Tomorrow never comes Say you don't know me, you'll burn You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't want me, you'll learn Nothing you do will be new, cause I'm through Voodoo Bring me your children, they'll burn Never look back, never turn Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo

about

Doom laden Metal for fans of Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus and Crypt Sermon. Featuring legendary vocalist Robert Lowe!

Grief Collector was formed by (ex-)members of Signs Of Reign, Among The Serpents and Candlemass/Solitude Aeturnus. Their aim was to combine Doom, some Sludge and feelings of sorrow and tragedy into a musical mix that could stand the test of time. This resulted in their first mini-CD ‘From Dissension To Avowal’. The layered music and Robert Lowe’s vocals combined with a rough edged production made sure this was a release that would cause a stir in the scene. And it did! The band came in contact with Petrichor and a deal was struck to release the bands’ latest offering ‘En Delerium’. Don’t miss out on Robert Lowe’s epic voice of doom combined with the most epic tragedy ridden serenades.

• LP comes as 180 grams audiophile vinyl with download card
• 2-CD comes as a deluxe edition with slipcase
• The CD version contains the debut ‘From Dissension To Avowal’ as bonus
• The return of Robert Lowe, one of the most renowned voices in Doom Metal!
• Mastered by Toneshed Studio (Dead Head, Pestilence, Pentacle and more)
