Sirenia - "This Curse of Mine" (lyric video)

I walked through hard time
With my head held high
I faced all my demons alone
I faltered and failed
But always prevailed
Manifold battles have won

I've sinned through the darkness
I've conquered the night
I follow the path of my choice
When life takes me on
I'm driven and strong
And poised for the battles to come

I battle addiction to deal of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Hell-drawn affliction is my inner war
The warfare rages on and on and on

I walked through each night
With my head held down
I faced all my demons alone
Every time I have failed
And never prevailed
Each and every battle was lost

I fell in the darkness
Was mazed, I was blind
Never felt the power for my choice
When life takes me on
I barely held on
All hope is now long seems gone

I battle addiction to deal of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Hell-drawn affliction is my inner war
The warfare rages on and on and on

A burden of time
Wish you'll be undermined
In search of a sign
You cannot seem to find

I battle addiction to deal of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Hell-drawn affliction is my inner war
The warfare rages on and on

I'm losing this battle it's out of control
For years it's been taking its toll on my soul
Broken in body, I'm broken in mind
The end drawing near, life pass me by

Οι Sirenia δημιουργήθηκαν από τον Morten Veland τον Ιανουάριο 2001 όταν έφυγε από τους Tristania. Το αρχικό όνομα της μπάντας ήταν Masters of Sirenia, ωστόσο γρήγορα το "πετσόκοψαν". Οι Νορβηγοί έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένα" albums. Το δέκατο και πλέον πρόσφατο φέρει τον τίτλο "Riddles, Ruins & Revelations" και "βγήκε" στα μέσα του προηγούμενου μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Founded back in 2001 and after being active as a top-notch offering in the genre for almost 20 years, Sirenia serve a new, exquisite pearl of symphonic metal: The four-piece around mastermind Morten Veland releases its tenth studio album, Riddles, Ruins & Revelations, on February 12, 2021 via Napalm Records!»

Morten Veland (on the album): «Riddles, Ruins & Revelations is Sirenia's tenth studio album. The album is very diverse, as a Sirenia album should be. There's a lot of material that shows the band from a new side, and there is lots of material that is to be expected from the band musically. All in all the album will take the listeners through a journey that will cover both familiar and unexplored musical landscapes. We hope that you will enjoy the journey.»
