lyrics

More than 14 minutes long, "As the Birds Have Stopped to Sing" deals with the death of a close person. It deals with the moments right after the person has passed away, when it seems as if the world has stopped for a short moment.
The very melancholic song is musically the most progressive piece on the album and, like "At the Field'', has a closeness to Post Black Metal. "As the Birds Have Stopped to Sing", however, is more strongly influenced by Atmospheric Black Metal and may at some parts remind you of genre greats like Wolves in the Throne Room. Through the progressive interludes and instrumentals, the song maintains its own flavor. The finale of the song resembles a review of the entire album.



AS THE BIRDS HAVE STOPPED TO SING

The light is frozen,
not a single sound.
The air stands still,
and so does the ground.

The eyes are closed,
as they would have never seen.
The mouth is locked,
no word will ever leave again.

It is hard to believe,
that your world is gone
and ceased to be.

So much has been,
so much will never come back.
All that remains,
are thoughts about what we've had.

It is hard to believe,
that your world is gone
and ceased to be.

The light is frozen,
not a single sound.
The air stands still,
and so does the ground.

The eyes are closed,
as they would have never seen.
The mouth is locked,
no word will ever leave again.

All that's left are memories...
...memories are all that's left.
