Winter, come down from your stone so cold above
Tender, reach your silent arms unto the dark
The frozen soil, blue-tinted hues
Come rain, come sleet and snow
The rocky cliff, the mountain cruel
Come, claim what waits for you
The naked branches clad in gentle white
Woven perfect in the silent forge
Shallow water frozen over
Delicate crystals of sudden cold
The tender soil
Late autumn’s wind
Figures etched on frozen stone
The fleeting dawn’s splendour
A glimpse of a waning sun
The last sullen warmth
Winter, come down from your stone so cold above
The rocky cliff, the mountain cruel
Come, claim what waits for you

I would return to you
With all I can carry
Remedies, honey and milk
Every little thing
A dim world behind me now
Devoid of all purpose
I reach towards the gentle darkness
Alluring and warm
Time standing still
Filled with flowers of yesteryears
Pristine in their withered guise
As you are in my memories
The stone is still and mute
Standing amidst the tide
With me in silent waiting
For one never to return?
Still, your words are branded
A tether on the shore of my soul
Vivid days gone, they bind me
Break the surface now
This is not the day we part
That day is still in the distance
The beacon’s fire burns tall
Harrowing the gathering darkness
This is not the day we part
That day is still in the distance
Your star divides the night
It brings me towards your light

Nowhere Haven

Where has it gone, that fire
That from the darkn ess kept us
Where all the righteous souls
With flames in their eyes
Yet in the end
The gilded tongues
Yes, in the end
They burrowed in spines
Yet in the end, the gilded tongues
They were serpentine
Step forward, lost seeker
Read the signs of silence
Come close, turn the last stone
Truth lies in violence
See the limbs of chilling mist
Creeping these desolate halls
Searching, it seems for solace
For some haven
From this terrible cold
Yet in the end, the gilded tongues
They were serpentine
Yes, in the end, the gilded ones
They were serpentine

Your silence is the sound I hear
Upon waking
An absence that brings me to my knees
A touch forever missing from my skin
Becomes searing
The winter took everything
Above me, black stars
Away from everything
Within me, black stars
Your silence is the sound I hear
Upon waking
An absence that brings me to my knees
Your gentle voice once soft as sin
Quiet now, for eternity
And with the memories I sail the tide of time
On this last journey which binds us all
Now I seek the winter’s kiss
To set me free
Free of everything

When the Music Dies
03:59

Through the frozen pane
I see the summer still
I feel the warm, caressing rain
I hear the wind on the hills
Through the August nights
The feel of the warmth of another
Searing harmony within
Oh never again
Will you share this dance with me
With this dance all music dies
Here is where our voices cease
This is where our ways will part
This fleeting memory
Grains of sand through my hands
It runs, like we did once
Oh dearest one
Will you share this dance with me
With this dance all music dies
Here is where our voices cease
Here I bury my wretched heart

Tunturi

Taas matkaatko pohjoiseen, ystävä?
Usvaisten vesien äärelle
Ikimetsien siimekseen
Tunturin paljaalle laelle
Viekö polkusi kauaskin, kerrothan
Lempeän hämärän äärelle
Puiden varjoisaan katveeseen
Lempeiden purojen rannoille
On jälkesi sielussa sinetti
Tulella merkitty muisto
Hengestä valettu kuiskaus
Sydämeen kirjottu loitsu
Kun käyn itsekin matkalle, ystävä
Soiden synkille sijoille
Kirkkaiden vesien varrelle
Viekö matkasi minua vastaan?

Road of Bones

This trail, ever winding
Grown over and tread on by none
There was a time when all the paths were open
All steps have fallen silent since
Never an uttered word
We are gone, lost and forgotten
This world has seen the eve of your kind
The kind that had the will to destroy
The kind that wielded the power of the sun
They are gone now, gone forevermore
They possessed the hearts
And hands to wield the fire
That very fire now smothered and died
This trail, ever winding
Grown over and tread on by none
Only ghosts walk this road of bones

Field of Reeds

All the grief and the rage
This sorrowful tryst, forsake
I will carry your tears
They shall travel the winds
And fall on my skin
See all the things still animate
The tardigrades and centipedes
See all the things still animate
Inherit this Eden we’ve left for them
I am the mountain, the wind
A candle Against the night
I will carry your fears
They shall travel the seas
To distant shores far away
It will come
Brighter dawn
Our absence
Now full of life
My skin, to shield your memory
Shield your remains

Skeleton Lake

|
Once all will return to the primal
This act we perpetuate
Entwined unto the parts we were given
Feel how heavy is my breath
Weight of the rock beneath my breast
Inside the water’s deep hollow
Timeless suns around my soul
Just be silent
Listen and take heed
Can you hear me break
All purpose lost within
This I know
One word
Will change everything
Unhinge reality
Just be silent
Listen and take heed
Can you hear me break
All purpose lost within
My shape becomes distorted
Under the water’s spell
It bends against my will
Under skeleton lake

HANGING GARDEN were given birth in 2004, playing heavy, doom-oriented metal music. Over more than a decade, several releases and numerous line-up changes, bands style has evolved to a more melodic, contemporary sound that is rooted in dark atmospheres and open-minded, playful musicality. ... more

Melodic doom death metal with a decent gothic atmosphere between melancholy and sadness and with many different vocal styles, female, clean male and growls is rare nowadays. I have liked this style since the 90s and still do. A similar atmosphere spread Theatre of Tragedy on some albums, November's Doom or Beseech, later Ghost Brigade, Swallow the Sun or Draconian. Songs like "The Garden", "The Four Winds", "The Song of Spring" or "The Fireside" are filled with emotion and perfect for winter.

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.
