White spider
I needed to touch the sun
Climbing the north right up to the sky
The urge, I don’t know why
The ice is killing us
I had to cut you loose my friend
I can’t get back, I let you go
We´re not coming home this night
This cold, I am so cold
I can’t feel my hands anymore
They are here, they can almost save me
This cold is murdering me
I can’t get my head up
I can’t get these lines fixed
This damn frost is killing me
I am so cold
I’m not coming home this night
Four went up, none came down
I can almost touch the sky
I won’t make it on my own
Going back to my love with my eyes closed
I’m not coming home this life
The peace is rising, your thoughts are dying.
I see us flying through endless skies, I see us flying...
Ich kann nicht mehr
22 July 1936, Eiger - Grindelwald, Switzerland

Dogs cry murder
You came to give me your heart
Left your child in the cold behind
Never to return again
Love works in mysterious ways
I never talked about your needs
I only wanted to share my dreams
Maybe it was only a game
I will never let you take her away
Leave now or with blood you'll pay
I won’t let you take what is mine
The dogs will cry
They came with force
I didn’t ask for this
The dogs cry murder
How they will cry our names
In the cold dawn I heard their voices
They were coming for us
I was afraid but I had a gun
It was ready for use
Idiots came to speak of blame
They were here to end the shameless
Blood was cheap that day
This was never a game
I will never let you take her away
Leave now or with blood you'll pay
I won’t let you take what is mine
The dogs they cry
You came to me
I didn’t ask for this
The dogs will cry
How they sing our names
You came to me, to take her away
The game we’ve played, the dogs will howl
I live in shame, I regret the pain
The dogs cry murder
How they will sing my name
18 January 1929, Doezum, Netherlands

Doomed youth
I’m here again, I fought here before
The everlasting sound of mourning
Mother you will learn that I fell
Seven days before the storm died down
Read my words...
And the words lay down with me
And the names they fade away
And the words fall down with me
And the poems still remain
Sassoon encouraged me
To write the words to show the pain
How we fell...
Seven days before the storm died down
Read my words...
And the words lay down with me
And the names will fade away
And the words fall down with me
And the poems still remain
The ground where we all fell down
Still the dust of many lives covers
Every inch of ground we won
Worthless to the ones that lay beneath
Worthless to the ones blown apart
Worthless to the ones that lost their lives
And worthless to the ones that never learned
Many days gone and many words written
Since the doomed youth fell in this foreign soil
And the echoes wither
And the faces fade and again we fall
And again we fall down
4 November 1918, Sambre Oise Canal – Ors, France

The waves will catch my pain
They will wash the wounds I blame
And the wind, it frees the shame I could never live with
The stories of the old will gather all around me
And the life I couldn’t share, it screams inside me
Would it hurt to drown the sadness
Would they blame me for the pain
I'm on my own today I’m out here in the cold
I'm looking down into the deep and I long for the sea to keep me
It makes me dream of all the peace I had before
I want to learn so much more but the anguish pulls me down
I feel the urge to flee the doubt inside my head
I’m on my way alone again
27 May 1937, San Francisco, USA

I am the one who started this
I'm not the one who did
I'm not the one who started this
I am the one who did
I am the one who started this
I'm not the one who did
I stare at the pale grey ceiling
Beyond the endless walls I am master
My fear is the fuel that drives me
Black cross that blinds and brought me to my knees
I wish it would not be
I'm not the one who started this
I am the one who did
I am the one who started this
I'm not the one who did
Hear the wind outside
An awful storm is gathering
The world will hail me with stones
My name is lost in time
My shadow is your world
I die before the world explodes

9M-MRD
Flying to the far side of the earth
I escape the sound of a changing world
And it’s almost a dream looking down
It’s all just a dream
Frail is the peace that keeps us the same
Fire in the hearts that won’t give a damn
And I don’t know if I really should care
It’s such a different world
We’re flying through these clouds of rage indifferent to the world beneath
Nothing matters with you here right by my side
You’re right next to me and I'm looking at the sun in your eyes
You smile like me
I see the fire of the bang! in your eyes
And you smile to me
As we fall down you keep falling away from me
And I lose you
You keep falling away
They took you away from me
They took you away
They took you away from me
They took you away
I keep on falling to the ground
Hold a little light for us when we’re gone
I’m coming down with the wings I leaned on
I keep searching for your face
The winds are tearing you away
And I keep falling down
I’m searching for your name
My lungs won’t breath, my eyes can’t see
I’m falling from a life that cannot be
Can’t we share the sky?
Why don’t you save our lives?
I’m searching for your eyes but I can’t see
I can’t save your life
We made you hold a light
I'm falling from a life that cannot be

If you like The Wounded, you may also like:
supported by 23 fans who also own “The sky is yours”
It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering".

supported by 19 fans who also own “The sky is yours”
Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE
supported by 17 fans who also own “The sky is yours”
An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.

supported by 15 fans who also own “The sky is yours”
I like it because it bears all the familiar trademarks of the band, because I hold Saturnus in great esteem, because there are no two singers like him and because, like anyone else. they keep writing those beautiful, tranquil, colourful songs in which I let me drift in delight.
