lyrics

As I willed my aching bones forward,
I realised that all my life,
I had been trying desperately
To reach a gaping void,
and now that I have reached it,
the great precipice of nothingness,
I don't know how to go back.
I am lost and tired.

The restless stomach,
Insatiable,
Hungers always,
It never settles.

The seething embers
Of wanting,
Burning desire,
Burst into flames.

A violent blaze is unleashed,
Raging fierce and proud.
A torrent of madness engulfs me;
Once more enthralled,
Carried away by empty longing
Without purpose or direction.

Everywhere lost;
Loathe this world.
The tide is rising;
Loathe this life.

Show me what it means to suffer,
To extinguish the flaming ember of hope.

Wilds Forlorn Utrecht, Netherlands

Wilds Forlorn is an utterence of loss, grief, frustration, anger, and world-weariness. Founded in 2008, originally, the music consisted entirely of piano works, but the project eventually took a different turn.

Another project of mine, channeling old English poems and tales of destitution and world-renunciation. Raw, noisey and depressed. Wilds Forlorn

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
