"This cut is the deepest" by Swallow the Sun

Swallow the Sun:"This cut is the deepest", (from the album "Emerald Forest and the Blackbird", 2012):

You are nothing but a shadow of the beauty you used to be,
blank painting with silver frames.

You know when things turned all so wrong?
Afraid to tell the truth, locked inside yourself.
I promise this won´t hurt you,
at least as much as all these lies.

You are nothing but a shadow of the beauty you used to be,
deceitful and shallow; yes, you know when things turned so wrong.

Dim line between two broken hearts, long road to perdition.
One will stand, one will fall.

See the stars, touch your scars, face the dark eye to eye.
Touch the stars, feel the warmth, my love,
this cut is the deepest.

You are nothing but a shadow of the beuty you used to be,
deceitful and shallow; yes, you know when things turned so wrong.

(lyrics: Mikko Kotamäki)

(We´re ending this year with an incredibly beautiful song, that is "This cut is the deepest" from finnish doomsters Swallow the Sun´s latest album, this years "Emerald Forest and the Blackbird". In fact the majority of the songs included on "Emerald...." can easily be called beautiful, but for different reasons....But that said "This cut...." absolutely takes the prize :-)

2012 is about to be gone, and the year has, in my case, been quite exciting with some great experiences, but also a year not without difficulties. Life gives and it takes, that´s for sure...., and I think vocalist Mikko Kotamäki had this in mind, when he wrote the lyrics for today´s song.

Swallow the Sun is absolutely a band worth of mentioning, when we´re talking doom/gothic metal, and I think they have the talent to take over the throne, the one day My Dying Bride decide to retire. (If MDB retire, may God forbid....:-)).

See you next year, (or tuesday to be more precise :-)), with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics, and I´m not quite sure, I´m going to be popular on this one....because this song is definitely NOT HANGOVER-FRIENDLY....ha ha....

....and by the way, we´re staying in Finland....See you!

Kind regards
