lyrics

Those lips that Love's own hand did make
Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate'
To me that languish'd for her sake;
But when she saw my woeful state,

Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom,
And taught it thus anew to greet:

A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.

'I hate' she alter'd with an end,
That follow'd it as gentle day
Doth follow night, who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flown away;

Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom,
And taught it thus anew to greet:

A woman's face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure.

'I hate' from hate away she threw,
And saved my life, saying 'not you.'

Amazing. Found this from Fields of Mildew (similar artists according to Bandcamp) ... and to see Ted Tringo (Autumn Tears) helped with it just cements how incredible it is. Love this. Tim McLelland

Sigh For Sigh
by Zeresh

supported by 28 fans who also own “Gentle Doom”

Prophetically haunting, mysterious, and as ancient as the Levant itself. To live on the borderland of place and mind; beyond our philosophy; within the stream of the drama. Jerusalem is the belly button of the world. Jeff Richardson

by Altars of Grief

supported by 23 fans who also own “Gentle Doom”

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
