On Thorns I Lay - 'Newborn Skies' (official lyric video)

Where I stand in my own aisle?
Where I left my mellow childhood's dreams?
Lost in abstinence, denial
Filled with thunderous but silent screams

The guilt of years so aimless
The thoughts of yearning choices left undone
The fear ending up nameless
The need to leave behind the strain and run

Shade the sun, light the dark
Bright the grey inside the black
Close your eyes soul to rise
Float on dazzling newborn skies

Clear the way, blight the clay
Wash it all away
The sins, the lies, no compromise
Crave for newborn skies

Newborn skies
I'm floating
Newborn skies

I storm the gale, I sail to life
The one I let to pass me by
A twisting knife the fortune's strife
I stay on low or flying high?

Beyond the pale I grow and thrive
Once I forgot, now i'm alive

Newborn skies
I'm floating
On newborn skies
Newborn skies

Την τελευταία οκταετία έχουν επιστρέψει δισκογραφικά οι On Thorns I Lay έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει τρία full length album. Ο διάδοχος του album "Threnos" (Φεβρουάριος 2020) και δέκατος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Ελλήνων metallers φέρει ως τίτλο το όνομα του Ελληνικού σχήματος και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του φθινοπώρου...

Δελτίο τύπου: «On Thorns I Lay are Greek titans. Where their peers in Rotting Christ, Septic Flesh, Nightfall were swayed more by symphonic and black metal, this Athens band went for a taste of the gothic on their 1994 debut.

Which makes sense; after all, they are named after a Shakespearean sonnet. Thirty years and ten albums later, On Thorns I Lay are releasing their first album with Season of Mist.

Their self-titled LP pushes death-doom to epic heights, casting a newborn Gothic glow over muscular riffs and cavernous vocals hearkening back to the halcyon days of early ‘90s Peaceville death-doom.»
