My Dying Bride:"The wreckage of my flesh", (from the album "Songs of darkness, words of light", 2004):
Loathsome I´ve become,
A creature so undone,
Wretched and broken,
Cannot find my faith,
Any God will do,
Nothing said is new,
Nothing said is true,
Fly away my hope.
The embrace of shade holds me dear,
Eats me away,
Loose the dogs of disgrace upon me,
I have no faith,
Raise the poor outcast I´ve become,
I am undone,
Calm is the air. Still is the sea,
The valley of death keeps calling me.
Rest my eyes from the world,
This dying place, it´s so absurd,
Oh, Christ above, whom I love,
Lost to me. My snow white dove,
Make this day like the night,
Songs of darkness. Words of light,
Pulling down my heart,
I won´t forget my lovers heart.
With utter loathing and scorn,
I was somehow born,
Strewn in black decay,
None shall I obey,
The wreckage of my flesh,
The nakedness of my death.
(lyrics: Aaron Stainthorpe)

(I think, I have mentioned this before....I believe in reincarnation :-) I believe in the thought, that we have been here before, and that there´s life after death. That we´re going to return to earth after 150-200 years on "the other side", unless we have nothing more to learn as a human being. Maybe I´m wrong, maybe I´m right, but regardless it´s my belief....
My Dying Bride....I remember clearly one of the very first times, I was listening to the opening "Songs of darkness...."-track "The wreckage of my flesh"....It was 2004, either late february or early march, and I was suddenly thinking to myself in the mid-part of this utterly melancholic song: "Well....this could easily been played at a funeral-scene in one movie!". In fact I started imagining this fictive scene, while the music flew away :-) That was back then....
In the very beginning of this year I was reading one day in UK-heavy meatal-magazine "Terrorizer", that one of Winterfylleth-frontman Chris Naughton´s ultimate favorite songs is....well...."The wreckage of my flesh" :-) I have to admit, that I haven´t really been listening that much to "The wreckage...." since 2004, but thanks to Naughton things have changed for the better here in 2013 :-) It´s definitely one of My Dying Bride´s most complete and finest tracks ever....
See you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics and this time it´s about the winner of all winners from the new My Dying Bride-album "A map of all our failures"....and YES!!!, the album is actually filled with winners :-)
See you!
Kind regards
Carsten
