Anathema - Shroud Of Frost Lyrics






Undying odyssey... a myriad of times

The soul has seen
Through eyes of heaven
The imperium of earth
There's nothing left to perceive

Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

Infinity distraction
A pious human disorder
Blind to passage of souls
Conclusion from one remembrance

Help me to escape...

Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of
frost. In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no one
is here. Detached from reality, in the Knowing of dreams, we know the
entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast, in an empty
room. We awake and it's true...
I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak
morning. In the emptiness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling
of what will be... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive
at Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room
despondently watching the passing of the kindred spirit... and there
is no song... just a delusion of silence.

    Undying odyssey... a myriad of times

    The soul has seen
    Through eyes of heaven

    I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
    I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
    In somnolent illusion... I'm paralysed

    Infinity distraction...

    Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost

    Detached from this reality, in the knowing of dreams,

    We're awake and it's true
    I dreamt of the sun's demise
    awoke to a bleak morning
    In the emptyness i beheld fate
    for the dead ligth is a foretelling of what will be...
    I saw a soul drift from life
    through death
    and arrive at Elysian Fields in welcoming song
    Yet i stand in a dusk-filled room
    despondently watching the passing of a kindred spirit...
    and there is no song...
    just a delusion of silence...

    Great old sound!!!!!

  13. L.... A....

    I love them so much, I wish they would still experiment with death and doom metal. Speaking of, any recommendations of death doom metal bands like old Anathema?

    L.... A....

    hmm quiet difficult.Anathemq was unique.Try Lacrimas profundere and Ennui(from Georgia ex-ussr)

    L.... A....

    Mourning Beloveth - Autumnal Fires
    soliloquium with or without
    MY DYING BRIDE - The Dreadful Hours
    Saturnus Veronika Decides To Die

    L.... A....

    I would recommend the following to the already mentioned ones.

    old Celestial Season CDs e.g.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-rUjIaJzY
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p97WZgPKaRU

    or "In mourning" (more death)
    but i never found any band which sounds like old anathema

  14. A.... M....

    IMMORTAL SONG
    IMMORTAL SONG

  33. H.... ....

    Odisea interminable…una miríada de tiempos.
    El alma ha visto 
    a través de los ojos del cielo
    el imperio de la Tierra.
    No queda más nada que percibir.

    Ayudame a escapar de esta existencia,
    Anhelo por una respuesta, podes ayudarme??
    Me estoy ahogando en un mar de abusadas visiones y sueños partidos,
    en ilusión somnoliente…estoy paralizado.

    Infinita distracción.
    Piadoso desorden humano.
    Ciego ante el pasaje de almas.
    Conclusión de un recuerdo.

    Ayudame a escapar…

    Paralizado, contemplo a través de mi ventana hacia el mundo, yaciendo bajo un sudario helado. En un estupor desolado siento la quemadura de ojos que miran, pero nadie esta acá. Desapegado de la realidad, en la conciencia de los sueños... sabemos que la entidad resultante de la agonía espera para apretarnos en su frío seno, en una habitación vacía. Despertamos, y es real…

    Soñé con la extinción del Sol, despertado en una mañana desolada. En el vacío esperé al destino, dado que la luz muerta es un anticipo de lo que será…vi un alma deslizarse desde la vida hacia la muerte, y alcanzar los campos Elisíacos en una canción de bienvenida. Mientras tanto permanezco en una habitación anochecida, observando con angustia el pasar de los espíritus…y no hay canción, solamente una ilusión del silencio.

    H.... ....

    Las letras de Anathema son tan...<3

  34. T.... ....

    Hope they'll play this on the resonance tour!

  35. D.... N....

    infinity infinity infinity infinity infinity infinity ....

  36. b.... ....

    I miss this old anathema... they used to make incredible music :´(

    b.... ....

    They still do. 

    b.... ....

    @Metalhead1986 Not as good as it was

    b.... ....

    +berserk201177 If You miss old Anathema then listen old Anathema.

    b.... ....

    YOU NEVER MISS THEM, 'CAUSE THEY'RE IN YOUR HEART

    b.... ....

    Serenades, The Silent Enigma, Crestfallen :( :(

  37. A.... G....

    It still amazes me that loser "metalheads" still listening to underdeveloped 80s garbage still refuse to acknowledge amazing music like this even 20 years after it was released. Also, 70s doom sucks.

    A.... G....

    Calling people losers who listen to 80s metal gets you nowhere. Tool. 

    A.... G....

    so you mean that playing gay music means progress or something!

  38. H.... ....

    5:13 gotuje się muza

  39. L.... A....

    The perfect doom album!

  40. S.... ....

    Well, this doesn't have much in common with Doom, only the slow songs(with are in general pretty different), and the depressive lyrics(with are not as usual in Doom as they are in this band). It's another genre inspired by Doom.

  41. J.... O....

    It is Doom, the next generation of Doom

  42. �.... �....

    ancient Anathema so sweet, but now we're haven't something like that... just turn you look into Ocean of Sorrow. just find it, there are descendant to this music

  43. S.... ....

    Well, I wouldn't call that Doom Metal... but it's okay. Doom Metal is Black Sabbath, Pentagram, The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, but since I can't find a better definition to this band this will serve.

    S.... ....

    It's death-doom metal (or just second vawe of doom metal) Death metal vocals, drumming and heavy guitar tones combined with slower tempos and gloomy atmosfere. Band you have metioned are first vawe doom metal, they of course had no death metal influence since death metal started developing at late eighties.

  44. M.... ....

    3 times

  45. M.... G....

    the REAL and TRUE Anathema,all hail the old stuff!

  46. F.... H....

    1 disklike justin bieber was here

  47. M.... B....

    4:33 No return

  48. l.... k....

    this really hurts...I'm paralyzed....whyyyyyyy

  49. V.... s....

    anathema at its best! it is sad that they don't write metal songs anymore

  50. M.... T....

    help me to escape....






    i love you.

  51. M.... ....

    Right on man!

  52. E.... B....

    real music close to you cannot be bored of... you'll still like it until your funeral and after that too

  53. l.... m....

    im started to love this song when i was 15, now im 28 still love it!

  54. K.... ....

    Tι στιχάρες ρε θεέ μου... Κατάθεση ψυχής...
    I wish they had never changed their enchanting doomy/gothic sound....

  55. D.... B....

    indeed,,so beautiful that truly hurts...

  56. n.... ....

    @Balassagun Definitely.

  57. M.... v....

    Still their best song up to date...the perfect translation of sadness into music...

  58. S.... ....

    Help me to escape from this existence
    I yearn for an answer... can you help me ?
    I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
    In somnolent illusion... I'm paralysed

    Fuck...How i love lirycs is this song...Great.

  59. D.... ....

    @AngusYoungForMayor He's singing "undying odessey" but i heard the same until i saw the lyrics

  60. i.... ....

    @Zerebew I was merely stating my opinion about the album and did you see the last line when I mentioned that it was a great album? No need for name calling or devaluing a person because of their opinions, are you a fascist? are you stupid? are you a teenager?

  61. Z.... ....

    @insidethefall78 So stop listening to this very bad music and Go and fuck urself...No need to clever ass comments like urs on such Genious Music..

  62. i.... ....

    Honestly this is my least fav album of their doom metal era. I really don't like vinnie's vocals here, he sounds like he's just mimmicking Darren White (who would have been a better match on this, if it wasn't for the politics within the band) But it probably gave him the confidence to develop his style on eternity, alt 4 and judgement all of which I adore. A lot of this album was written while recording, so I can't fault it too much. It's still a great album with a great atmosphere.

  63. u.... ....

    BEST ALBUM FROM ANATHEMA, ONE OF THE METAL MASTERPIECE OF ALL TIMES!

  64. A.... J....

    @Balassagun agree!!!

  65. D.... ....

    Best song of this album, and best album of Anathema in my opinion

  66. t.... ....

    hail Anathema and hail doom metal. the band is pride of Liverpool and I know they've moved on to mainstream but you know something, they're still awesome.

  67. F.... .....

    only with this song after hardworking day I can go sleep and see my dreams
    restless oblivion+shroud of frost + crestfallen+ A dying wish = A beautiful Death

    F.... .....

    Frequency .Domain Sunset of Age is good too.

  68. E.... B....

    tényleg ez a legjobb albumuk. Ez a szám kellemesen lenyom, bár az albumra kissé jellemző nyávogós felhang nem kellene, inkább az ordítás. Ettől eltekintve is nagyon jó.

  69. G.... ....

    this IS Anathema's best album.

  70. S.... C....

    I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak morning...

  71. F.... R....

    Fantastic song, fantastic album.

  72. F.... ....

    Haunting..

  73. O.... ....

    ..incredible song..

  74. s.... ....

    realy awake men bud world is fucking blind so 10% of people thay awake

  75. V.... ....

    Absolutely. Those two albums are perfect. Still (personally) I put this one in first place. Out of this world.

    V.... ....

    I agree, absolutely👍🏿
