Draconian - Death, Come Near Me (HQ AUDIO)

[Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson, 2001]

By day I sleep, at night I weep!

O Death, come near me!
Be the one for me, be the one who stays.
My rivers are frozen, and mischosen,
and the shadows around me sickens my heart.

O Death, come near me,
and stay (by my side). Hear my silent cry!
In sadness I'm veiled, to the cross I am nailed,
and the pain around me freezes my world.
My cold world...

In life I've failed,
for years I've wailed.
Frozen in time... left behind...
The rapture of grief is all to find...
The rapture of grief is all!

Behind the shadow of life the lost hopes are grieving.
I seek the night and hope to find love...
So I drown in the silence of lifes short eternity.
The tears fills the void in my heart astray...

Embrace me now, delightful ease!
Give me a world of wonderous peace!
Calm the desperate scream in my heart!

O Death, come near me,
save me from this empty, cold world!
O Life, you have killed me,
so spare me from this couldron of misery!

In life I cry, away I fly...
Chosen to fall within these walls.
The rapture...
The rapture of grief is all!

Oh, shed a tear for the loss of innocense,
for the forsaken spirits who aches... in us.
Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain,
for the solitude of those left behind!

Behold the pain and sorrow of the world,
dream of a place away from this nightmare.
Give us love and unity, under the heart of night.
O Death, come near us, and give us life!

I this world of pain I am better of dead!
Give me love, or give me... death!

O Death, come near me!
I have summoned you!

As a physician, I am really shocked by the increasing number of patients I can easily identify depressive symptoms. The vast majority of them never got any kind of treatment. Depression is a disease like any other and can kill, I have lost a cousin to this. We all love Doom Metal and this dark atmosphere, but if someone here feels that the burden is heavy, don't hold your cry and seek medical advice. May the Lord bless us all.

I can understand how this kind of music may not be to everyone's liking, but this song is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. The music, the lyrics, the voices, the feelings it evokes... it's absolutely perfect in every way.

[silviageorgieva]

It's weird how this song affects you.. you put it on when you're sad, but instead of feeling even more down, it frees you, makes you float in space. And you feel all your sorrowfulness fading away..

[aurelian]

This song is a masterpiece. Pure pain, depression, melancholy and desperation..

"Death come near us and give us life!" I'm broken.. Long live Draconian!

[alm]

Been listening to this song for 13 years, my comfort zone, can't explain how my heart feel when listening to this poetic masterpiece

[ganavur]

I'm so heart broken. Because my friend who had recommended me this masterpiece passed away yesterday. Rest in peace my bro. I wish u be happy wherever you go.

[tamnk]

I used to listen to it when i was 16 years old depressed, lost, alone. And im still in love with this. Im 25 years old now. Be kind people life is too short.

[bakloutiemna]

I come back to this song whenever the world is treating me badly. And I find comfort.

[beratarslan]

Bu şarkıyı keşfedeli çok oldu ama her dinlediğimde bana aynı hisleri yaşatıyor. Gerek ritmi gerekse sözleriyle eşine az rastlanır eskimeyecek bir şarkıdır kendileri. Keşfettiğim günden beri kimseye önermedim çünkü bazı şarkılar kişinin derinlerinde saklı kalmalıdır ve bu şarkı kesinlikle onlardan bir tanesi. Depresif ruh halini en iyi yansıtan şarkıdır bana göre. Ölümün tek gerçek olduğunu acımasızca yüzümüze vurur. Ufak bir hatıra bırakmak istedim buraya kadar okuduysanız teşekkür ederim. Güzel günler görmeniz dileğiyle...

[danielkuemper]

I've been reading the comments and many have mistakenly placed this masterpiece into the "break up" category... This song however is much deeper in meaning; it's a story about the progression of Depression, loss of innocence, and wanting/ inviting death to ease the overwhelming emotional pain of life's journey.

[willkermenezesdarocha]

This song is the definition of 'masterpiece'

[вячеславвагин-ьж]

It's power. Power of the deepest loneliness, depression, pain, melancholy and sadness in one song. 

[nadinedardouri]

I've started listening to this song since i was 12 now I'm 22 it never fails my depression

[gianlubetti]

Nothing less than a divine work of art, a masterpiece. Draconian will forever remain the greatest gothic metal band that ever existed in the history of metal.
