Haunting 05:23
Smiling at the arched dagger Even if unorthodox, feeling the slashed arteries Standing where evil was brought to his knees Gloom slowly filling every atoms of uneasiness Sneering at once trusted emotions (Actually sat on a concrete bench in broad daylight Killing time, spending existence in searching void) I wonder how life will be, with a hope that dies eternally Reality fading, my grasp flutters on logical failure Degeneration of humanity flowing within, with hymnodies and similes Cataleptic true being, fleeing toward introspection From which point of view have I been expelled from? Resenting failure even while succeeding, possessed by the inevitable Suicided darkness, as left a myriad of unfoldment Anguish seems to sooth while refracting It is so cold here, no warmth to flatten the desire in life, only pale Reflections of neverwere, clawing toward the unavoidable Calculating my own downfall, with upheaval balance Everyone seems to own a piece of heaven... Incapacitate my own synthesized judgment: Reality strikes forth, idled before my (assigned) kins, urban decrepitude Again and again, paying the debts of my humanity Lost in understanding of wondering (How can I endure?) And haunted I am in this dead world of ever-raping kindness It is the " how " I now foreswear Flows more sadness from a tortured whiteness Than a conclusive and, futile, colourless life ...---...

Being too honest with my inner feelings: It all began at the age of innocence When beauty around me mesmerized my every senses In a time where curiosity prevailed And where I wondered how splendid it would all become Fragile happiness of the lighthearted Weightless, sparkling with unfoldment, sheltered Passionated with blooming hopes of artlessness Early on I started feeling disquieted when surrounded Not as if I had something uncommon or dysfunctional But because I didn't seem to correspond to any acting role I wasn't able to deal with the predefine or unalterable So I would rarely share my inner sanctum with any outsider And that's why I start sinking into dreams I still vividly remember how easily I was distracted from physical world I carried on, trying to figure what was wrong Nothing seemed to explain or sooth the angst Like if I had been born cursed of heart in an alien world Many times I have found myself studying those of my kind And so on, I mimicked their habits to be left alone Experiences weren't strong enough to support my toughs So I left everything and let myself fall inside: That's when negativity and darkness started pouring in A storm of twisted hateful toughs started inhabiting my life I craved vengeance and obscure forces around me That's where I first skimmed the potential of solitude and bereavement This unearthly feeling which had materialized Through shades of vicious self-violation I had roused at that point something I couldn't even harness Much as happened since then, perspective morphed, darkness coalesced I don't think I was part of evil But maybe the purest lightsource, wasted By a darkness so easily re-creatable through deceived hopes This slab of existence might sound exacerbate or epic in retrospect from far away But if you were part in any way in this nightmare, don't ever cross my path again.

about

Trails of Anguish Québec

Formed in Quebec in 2000 by Dishcord (Apocryphes) and Scythrawl.
Trails of Anguish were an aggressive yet melodic black metal band that sought to express their emotions in the most cathartic way possible. While the future was looking bright for TOA, the explosive energy that permeated throughout their live shows and studio sessions had fizzled out and
so the band unceremoniously faded away.
