lyrics

In the beginning there was an alliance
A concord struck
From a solid foundation of gold
But as all things must
This too turned foul
Mistrust and abuse
A downward spiral

Rising calamity
Brought by the fall
Scavengers gathering
The carrion calls
Halcyon days
Shall herald the storm
Black words of spite
Have ruined us all

A wayward glance
Sparking a fire
The flames consuming the land
Burn higher and higher

The enemy is at the gates
The walls will hold them back
Camped outside of arrow range
The siege machines attack
Raining black death
Spreading the plague
Hear them cry

Lay siege, lay siege
Drive them into the sea
Lay siege, lay siege
Beleaguered with no retreat

Into the catapults
Over the wall
Like putrid rain
Let festering corpses fall

In this war no sides exist
Except the dying and the dead
A man's worth is nothing at all
The scales of justice lay bared

The reek of flesh covers the world
As the city burns
Rats and vermin shall reign supreme
As the blackened water churns

Lay siege, lay siege
Drive them into the sea
Lay siege, lay siege
Beleaguered with no retreat

No quarter given
No white flags flown
No surrender accepted
No glory found

In the beginning there was an alliance
A concord broken
By the deeds of self-righteous men
But as all things must
This too turned foul
Herald the fall...

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 28 fans who also own “Siege of Caffa”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
