[Skvllyna]

Can't describe in words how I feel about this band.

[wyrdokward]

This song is so impressive. The first part full of violence, and then the bridge, overwhelming with sadness, takes you to the guts in a last farewell... Ardek did a wonderful job with the keyboards to transcend it. One of my favorites song from Carach Angren so far

[BeyondTheNorth]

During the part of the song where their mother died they did an amazing job at capturing that atmosphere

[erinnmoore]

Three quite calm nights went by.
Merely the silence before a new tempest arrived.
All hell breaks loose on night four.
The children can now hear how father is whipping their squealing mother
with his leather belt while she falls to the floor.
The fear and tension is rising by the day.
The boy falls asleep but his sister is kept awake
by having serious thoughts for the two of them to escape.
Tick-tack! It's time to go!
For there's a crow... Tick! Tack... Ticking on her window.
She has no explanation why she has a terrible feeling
that someone is going to die.
Next morning they leave everything behind.
They bring some clothes, water and bread.
They run with fear
but without hesitation and regret,
without looking back.

Darkness has fallen.
Two children are afraid and lost in the night.
They walk on an old road when a car appears
and they're too slow to hide.
Goddamn! He found them!
Goddamn! He found them!
Goddamn! He found them...
His eyes glow like those of SATAN himself!
He's cursing, pounding, screaming!
Throws his son into the car.
Hits his little daughter so hard!
Tell me the truth. I know this was you.
But no more, little whore.

I'll punish you like I've never done before.
Goddamn! Goddamn!
His eyes glow like those of SATAN himself!
They get beaten, locked up and mistreated.
There's no place like home!

And she opens her eyes after another brutal night.
Weeping wind whining hopeless tones
and there's no sunshine, it's still dark outside.
The living room is trashed.
There are bloodstains and pieces of glass everywhere.
Father still passed out on the couch.
Where's mother? And why is there water dripping down the stairs?

She walks up the staircase and sees her little brother
holding on to the doorpost of the bathroom,
As if he had just seen a ghost.
His body is frozen, eyes wide open.
He does not react to her voice.
What's wrong? A tear rolls down his pale face.
And then!
The sight of their dead mother,
floating in light red water flowing from the bathtub.
She had left the water faucet open,
taken an overdose of pills and slit both her wrists.
No! She is dead! She is dead! Mother is dead!
No! Mama, why? Oh mother, goodbye...
Mommy, why? Oh mother, goodbye...
When crows tick on windows
Oh, when crows tick on windows...

[SantyWilly]

The lyrics are so touching, closing my eyes and imagine the history makes me feel like... sad and anger at the same time (No! She is dead! She is dead! Mother is dead!)... well done, this song really reached that part of my whole being that every day feels disgust of the human race... perhaps this song along with The Funerary Dirge of a Violinist are my two favorite songs.

[Jessim]

Una de las mejores canciones del mundo, amo la letra y también a Carach Angren!!

[jbevan]

So tragic and a reality for some. My heart weeps everytime I hear this. Break the cycle.

[fernandorivera]

When they played this son at the 70KTons of metal damn! Goosebumps!

[stangslife]

These lyrics are so deep and haunting. Iv really got into this bad the last few days. Fucking awesome musicians

[horrormoviemetalfan]

I am so glad that Carach Angren exists within metal music.

[pletcom]

[thimovijfschaft]

Carach Angren is cool but they sound absolutely amazing when you have new earphones which have high detailed sound. OMG THIS IS INTENSE

[jbevan]

Harsh reality for too many. BREAK THE CYCLE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

[synoptic]

mcloud on a window? oldest reference, child book, allegory reference to Indian cemetery, maybe clandestine, so trauma.

[firzen]

This is what i call black metal band...Not those blood spilling, upside down crosses and satanic things
