Æl-Fierlen - To Sleep Eternal (Official Stream)

To Sleep Eternal”, the first single from atmospheric black metal duo Æl-Fierlen, explores the dichotomy of longing to close one’s eyes to the world, with the tragic emptiness that comes from truly slipping away. Layered harmonies, pensive solos, and frenetic tremolos transport the listener from dream to nightmare and back again.

Lyrics:

Still awake can’t close your eyes
Relief just physical
Heartache, waxing spurns and lies
The toll is cyclical

Now is not the time
For wandering
Make your peace
With the mo(u)rning

Messages have chosen you
All goes dark mystical
Sleep eternal always comes
Don’t wish the Infernal

Don’t reject the dreams
Don’t make a sound
Sink into the night
But not yet
The ground
Nightmares burn
A retina of your making
You will learn
Repeat the visions each night

Don’t reject the dream
Don’t make a sound
Bury questions deep
Into hallowed ground
Flowers lay as all
Knowing stand weeping
You were made
For so much more than sleeping

You won’t feel the Earth
You won’t hear the screams, oh
You won’t feel a thing
We can’t choose our dreams… wait
