david0202 Track 2, 3 and 8 are my favourites. I really hope they keep the clean vocals going as I love the sound.

Dahlia-Pompon I have to admit that I thought I would never hear new music from FALLING LEAVES again.
But what a wonderful surprise!
Their debut album, MOURNFUL CRY OF A DYING SUN, with its poignant and melancholic atmosphere, has always been one of my favorite Death-Doom albums.
And here, with THE SILENCE THAT BINDS US, they have managed to create something special again.
Beautiful music. Full of emotion and intensity.
More than recommended to fans of SATURNUS, WHEN NOTHING REMAINS, FOREST OF SHADOWS 🤘🏼🖤 Favorite track: Ashes of My Mind.

shalrathq Powerful album. Looking forward to hearing more from thewe guys. hopefully before 2035? Favorite track: Ashes of My Mind.

1.	Carvings 06:53	lyrics	buy track
A part of me fractures, Each time I conjure the warmth, The fleeting echo of your touch. Another parts. Larger, Looming, A compass misplaced Whispers through the cracks: “Search deeper, Reach further, Don’t let the stillness swallow you.” The fields I’ve sown yield nothing but silence. The shadows lengthen, The soil hardens, “Search deeper, Reach further, Don’t let the stillness swallow you.” Yet the void does not echo. The fragments do not fit. “Search deeper, Reach further, Don’t let the stillness swallow you.” A part of me fractures, Each time I conjure the warmth, The fleeting echo of your touch. An open wound, A depthless cut, Bleeding the memory of what cannot be Of no one who will ever be you.
2.	The Angel on My Shoulder 06:44	lyrics	buy track
I named you the keeper of my soul, A fragile guardian I dared to trust. But wounds, sharp and jagged, Etch their lessons into my skin, Each scar is a story I never wanted to learn. Should I thank you for the friction The slow erosion of my innocence? You dropped jewels I couldn’t hold, Lost treasures in the wake of love undone. I hate how the world takes what I cherish, Steals it like whispers stolen by the wind. It feels as though the universe conspires To erase the traces of my touch, But wounds, sharp and jagged, Etch their lessons into my skin, Each scar is a story I never wanted to learn. To strip me of the weight of memory, As if forgiving could ever be a gift. The darkness presses against my chest, Its shadows crawl through my veins. You dropped jewels I couldn’t hold, Lost treasures in the wake of love undone. Not to cleanse, but to stain, Rain falls, not to cleanse, but to stain, Each drop is a reminder of what is gone. You dropped jewels I couldn’t hold, Lost treasures in the wake of love undone. Of what was, Of who I was, Before the world taught me how to let go. Of what was,
3.	We Are Alone 06:12	lyrics	buy track
Under silent skies we wander No solace, no home Chasing dreams that slip away, Those we can’t hold onto Hope and sorrow drag us under to stay We are alone, in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We fight the night, with dreams in sight Fade away, like morning light In this heavy silence, our hearts start to break Carrying the burden of every mistake On every breath we take, a struggle, a fading trace In the depths of despair It feels like no one is there We are alone, caught in the web of our thoughts The dusk wraps around us like a shroud In a world that is suffocating Our voices wither into the distance Unheard. We are alone, in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We fight the night, with dreams in sight Fade away, like morning light
4.	Ashes of My Mind 06:49	lyrics	buy track
I bear the seed of ruin, A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go. What was golden has turned to ash, Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp, And all that remains is dust Each step sinking me deeper into silence. The desert grows inside me, A relic of a broken promise. I scream into the emptiness, But my voice dissolves into nothing. I bear the seed of ruin, A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go. What was golden has turned to ash, Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp, And all that remains is dust I scream into the emptiness, But my voice dissolves into nothing. One more second with you. That wish is denied. And I am left alone, With the ashes of my mind. Forever was her name, Yet forever can’t be mine. Regret coils in my chest, Squeezing every breath into despair I bear the seed of ruin, A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go. What was golden has turned to ash, Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp, And all that remains is dust I would give everything My body, my soul, my fleeting moments of hope I bear the seed of ruin, A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go. What was golden has turned to ash, Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp, And all that remains is dust.
5.	Shattered Hopes 06:05	lyrics	buy track
Promises broken, like shattered glass, A heart betrayed, forever scarred. A soul weighed down by sorrow's tide, A spirit crushed, where hope has died. Lost in the wreckage, a wounded soul, Searching for answers, beyond control. A trust once given, now shattered and torn, A bond broken, a love forlorn. The pain of betrayal, a heavy load, A future uncertain, a lonely road. A victim of deception, without a shame, A life turned upside down, a burning flame. The embers of trust, now cold and dead, A heart shattered, a spirit fled. A world turned upside down, a shattered dream, A life in ruins, a broken scene. The pain of betrayal, misery await, A future uncertain, doomed fate. Lost in the wreckage, a wounded soul, Searching for answers, beyond control. A trust once given, now shattered and torn, A bond broken, a love forlorn. The pain of betrayal, a heavy load, A future uncertain, a lonely road. A victim of deception, without a shame, A life turned upside down, a burning flame. The embers of trust, now cold and dead, A heart shattered, a spirit fled.
6.	The Everlasting Wounds 06:16	lyrics	buy track
I have lost a life that I never truly lived. Filled with sorrow and pain, inside this miserable body, Embraced by the thorns of your loss. Surrounded by the sharp memories of your absence. Fallen behind again. Fallen behind again. These wounds are everlasting, soul remains unhealed. I am the fallen one… wishes to make things undone. I am the longing one… stained in the shadows of grief. Words betray me, twisting in my throat whenever I speak Darken my hope with your curtains. Take my remaining sanity. Though we walk separate paths and we drift apart. With all the emptiness we left behind You'll always be mine, always and never. Words betray me, twisting in my throat whenever I speak
7.	The Visions of the Forsaken 06:33	lyrics	buy track
In the quiet, where whispers softly fall I search for strength Within the growing night. How can you see when darkness blinds your sight? Wondering, will there be anything left of me when you are gone? With a soul forsaken, I walk on thorns The thorns cannot cut deeper Deeper than the wounds engraved in me Nothing more to bleed The pain no longer stings. Not anymore How can you feel when emotions start to fade? Dreaming Awaiting The day we will meet again. One day. Dreaming Awaiting The day we will meet again. One day. In the quiet, where whispers softly fall I search for strength Within the growing night. How can you see when darkness blinds your sight? Wondering, will there be anything left of me when you are gone? Here alone I stand, in this desolate dream Where time suspended, stands still Embraced by solitude With a dimming vision, in a dawn without a sun Haunted by the echoes of the past. Not anymore The pain no longer stings. How can you feel when emotions start to fade? Silence prevails. Surrounded by emptiness. A cold wind whips through my face A sad melody, carrying memories of a one that is lost, never forgotten. What is true and what is a lie?
8.	Re-Silence (Part III) 05:40	lyrics	buy track
In the silence again Tracing shadows of what we were Echoes of words left unsaid And I am alone When I close my eyes I still can see The way you used to smile at me Faded memories and broken dreams And the emptiness that haunts me The fire that once burned. Is just a fade. And in the darkness, I slowly break. In the silence again Tracing shadows of what we were Echoes of words left unsaid And I am alone You can’t believe what you meant to me. We become what we never wanted. Trapped in the silence of our mistakes. Silent as the wave, that gently touches the shore Silent as the moments, we will never have once more Silent as the dawn, that fades each day Silent as my heart, every time you go. You go away.

Because it comes from northern Europe and is as great as all those bands, and because it shows the band's bold development. I'm from Poland, but I love all Scandinavian bands that boldly and constantly develop without regard for demand, commercialism, and money. I love you guys. wppl
