  / abstrusity  

Concept behind Threnode song: It's a true story about a guy who became silent after his mother's death (she was a victim of 2010's flood in Pakistan) her dead body was never found

Lyrics:
Drown me to depth, Oh death! I'm waiting, all gone now, lights are fading
Free my spirit from this suffering, lifeless land deluges in its sorrows, floating on the shores of water, all that I had is now missing, I grasped her hand but couldn't save her life, she'll be found somewhere among the stars

Eyes have cried, searched family, tears have dried and all hopes' gone
Lifeless land calls my name, sheds tears and drowning in its sorrows

Memories are lost in flood, took away my beloved mother, I grasped her hand but couldn't save her life, she'll be found somewhere among the stars

Spoken verse:
Stranded away in a place mute of all lights, hope's gone, reveries turned into ashes before my eyes, drowning in my own sorrows I seek redemption but now my life is now my foe it is my damnation
