Name: The Maiden And The Mariner
Duration: P00H08M36S
Description: The North East coast is bleak and spectacular, a combination of geology (some fantastic Jurassic fossil beds) and the action of erosion from wind, sea and glaciers has created an almost alien landscape. Lots of hidden coves, bays and culverts full of who knows what beneath the waves. The perfect place for the locals to weave stories of dark things by fire light on cold winter nights.

lyrics

I knew that when I saw her
I would make her mine
take my fill of her pretty flesh
and gift her corpes to the inky brine
her hair was the colour of the dawn
her knowing smile divine
her skin as pale as the hungry moon
and yet her eyes seemed much older than her time

could I have been anymore arogant?
To belive myself the greater evil
there are things much older than I could ever dream
that lurk in forgeten places of the world

she led me on a merry chace
through dark deserted streets
I ran till my lungs where fire
downtowards the sound of the see
through crooked alys that seemd to close behind me
out onto a lonely little beach
I cornered her in quiet secluded culvert
to my suprise she smiled and beckond me

the bitch was a sea frett, poured into woman flesh
horrified I spied the seething mass she hid beneath her dress
her body split throat to navel, a new maw in her chest
she peared at me with ancient eyes and I forsaw my death

then I knew how it was to be the prey
her tendrils caught my limbs before I could escape
she slid her teeth into me gentle as a lover
as she dragged me to the sea I knew my life was over

Blackened funeral doom. Easier to listen to than Innsmouth because the vocals aren't nearly as fishy. tr_🇺🇦

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
