about

You are entering Dark Valley - be welcome by Charon. After all your suffering in the world of the living, it is through the river that you find the first habitant of this strange new place. He is waiting for you to reveal all the secrets you may find in Dark Valley. His words are from poet Georg Trakl: here, in pines a migration of crows flutters away and green evening fogs rise. Charon will lead you to your first confrontation: the despair of those who lived in war - lived with intollerance, violence and loaded with heavy weapons for nothing. It is pouring blood. Get out of here as soon as you can.

lyrics

How can you escalate until the bottom of yourself?
The weapon that you wear will bind you so well
Let you blind
Most isolated, arise from the lie

See through me
Bleed, sell out

Sold, a heavy weight
Loaded for nothing
But I can listen still you begging me
To stay and fight your despair
I can’t kill it while you chisel me

Dignus est odio

My God, it’s pouring blood
We don’t deserve but just love
Us filled up with gore
I recognize you no more
My God, it’s pouring blood
I don’t deserve but just love
Us filled up with gore
I recognize me no more

Torn for a commitment
Sound of victims
Oh you’ve grown out the worst of me
But I can’t believe, nor agree
That this insistence will bring any peace

Carry a heavy weapon that nobody believes
Warriors are not here to be approved, but to die as your heroes
So unfair...
We still want peace
We choose to die and we long to die in a war
But this war is only because of you
