We are on transit to the greater depths On a low neptunian orbit The vastness extends it's arms A reach for something eternal Ephemeral is the life we lead All is just a tangled illusion The phantom echo of something else (Something lost in detachment) A burst of complex code Running across 'time' and 'space' Illusory barriers, the thresholds to the end We're thrown into a kind of non-existential state Our bodies shrivel and thoroughly decay We're on a slow burn Days turn to weeks and months Overdriven minds Intellectual intercourse as a distraction A new gloom, the same old darkness, my dearest friend Approaches silently without a shred of warning We carelessly invite it in, into our yearning bosoms Death surrounds me now, I'll soon become it Grief and sorrow we offer to our most loved ones As we leave our identities behind A scared gaze scans the surrounding chamber A hopeless wish for a quick death, without any pain A burst of complex code Running across 'time' and 'space' Illusory barriers, the thresholds to the end The stream of the mind has been cut off Mainframe shuts down all of its functions A collage of memories to be completely wiped clean A final trip to the greatest void The golden ticket is in your cold dead hands The boatman stands ominously above the water Whispering your identity... Love Kills. G.R. // Stonehag

Receive my prayers of pain Open the gates to your domain Gotta hold for the rays of dawn Gotta find a way to keep pressing on Life hangs by a thread I'm riding high, I'm riding dead It's time to leave behind This wicked construct of the mind Gravity pulls on me Pulls the strings of my sanity Feels like I've lost my mind I wanna bathe in your core's demise Cold metal speeding through As I get closer and closer to you Your grave burns with desire A nuclear heart to excite my fire As we leave the earth All seems so meaningless Everything we've ever done We've ever said Is erased (We're not long for this world...) As we leave the earth Everything we've ever said, we've ever done It's all so meaningless Everything we've ever done and said Is erased You'll dwell in the nothingness (Is erased) Erased Erased Erased. G.R. // Stonehag

Crawl inside to haunt your mind behind those eyes, cyclopean lies I am the plague upon your sleep The scourge you know ain't worth the air i breathe Drain your soul of all its joy Weakling semblant from muddy waters rose I am the lash upon your sunshine the falsifier, your own private messiah But i am freezing now, the eyes of hell are fixed on me unleashed hounds upon my soul, as i plunge into the dark of night the time as come to pay the price these emerald flames, stout heralds of lies they carve a hole in my shameful soul a desert shelter i must seek for my own so take a look at the devil you've made I'm not alone in this, so will you share my torment? A thousand shards raining on my back like a purifying storm, i gladly welcome them all But don't you worry now, your dreams have fallen behind the iron curtains of time, where the spheres waltz on the lines But don't you worry now babe, your warmth i disavow and on the wings of fright, retribution will take flight A cry in the night, where shadows dance away the light a raven song echoes in the wind sharpened words tear at my skin Pray for the sun, for the morning rise to come Now lay bare that bleeding heart, cause i ain't the one You're in bed with the devil little child, bear that in your twisted mind You're in bed with the devil little child, you're playing with fire woman G.R. // Stonehag

Defrauded conversations Exhausted contemplations Your murderous performance Set to execute me A Waltz of dishonesty A cry of hypocrisy The basilisk's black kiss Upon my careless lips And to say I feel you, like cigarette burns And to say I taste you, like a plume of ash Burning in the backseat of my shifted psyche Throbbing in the flow of my withered heart Deluded expectations Those sinister vibrations Your venomous expression That classic phony mask A well of duplicity A recipient for mockery I am the one, the cursed Drown me in a hail of toxic bolts And to say I feel you, like cigarette burns And to say I taste you, like a plume of ash Burning in the backseat of my shifted psyche Throbbing in the flow of my withered heart I feel you... I see you... I see through you. I extend my arms to pain (again) To the sweetest suffering As you light you cigarette And set your sex on display You tenderize my wanton flesh with your mantra of decay I accept your razor kiss (again) Engulfed in an alphabet of sin On a drunken ride with death (to end it all) to find the pieces that I dearly miss As you light you cigarette And set your sex on display You tenderize my wanton flesh with your mantra of decay It's the time to choose It's the time to rise Above the pettiness Above the innermost vile It's the time to act Break the barriers of the mind Set free the dream within To plunge into the light Alas, the suffering, she drags me back again In a constant loop of pain In a never ending dance, yeah... G.R. // Stonehag

I feel the weight of your gaze The soft touch of your ambrosia lips The movement of your thighs As you enforce your will on me As you light another cigarette And gently push your wavy hair aside I'm dead again, like every night Dreaming the romance, dreading the morning light I feel your warmest touch It lights a blaze in my icy core Those black fingernails Break through my fake defenses Your intellect strips me naked Leaves me daydreaming all the time Your smirk still haunts my nights But I can't erase you, oh no And so we walk the night Under a melting moon On a cadaveric trance To finally erase you Like vampires in fright Pale and gaunt, so deathlike Dying of love Bleeding the light And thus so many things are lost In the throes of miscommunication In the arms of cowardice and fear A fantasy gone in the web of time And so we haunt the night Under a sea of stars The spirit-realm awakes To ease the hurt within A banshee's wail Calls out to me And invites me in to share her deepest sleep And thus so many things are lost In the throes of miscommunication In the arms of cowardice and fear A fantasy gone in the web of time I hear you siren's song It cracks my spirit loose Awakening of the senses Come alive with extreme devotion I hear your banshee's wail Your wicked dance kills And gives a new meaning to These Nocturnal Affairs G.R. // Stonehag

I need some space to breathe To catch up with things When life seems out of place and your dreams are running away Another spring has passed The sun greets me one more time April left a taste of emptiness and May will surely follow its path Chase away this depression session Chase away this depression session Chase away this depression session Find a way to live another day The days pass me by Nothing of real value have I done I feel empty inside Emotions seem to fade away from me Discouraging discourse Where I think of days before Of wasted yesterdays when life seemed easier, without concern Chase away this depression session Chase away this depression session Chase away this depression session Find a way to live another day Gonna pray day for another day Find a way to release the pain G.R. // Stonehag

Cadáveres ressequidos vagueiam pela escuridão do meu quarto. A sua essência infiltra-se nas paredes como uma enfermidade que se crava violentamente na carne dos vivos. Os mortos habitam as paredes do meu quarto, corpos enegrecidos pelo tempo, que através do estuque murmuram lamentos de eras já há muito esquecidas. Tenho corpos debaixo da cama, a fragrância das suas entranhas em decomposição infectam o meu espírito com uma aura comparável ao negro do meu quarto as 3:15 da madrugada. Por entre as várias camadas de tecido rugoso, aquecido pelo escarlate que flui, encoberto pela derme, como rios infernais de lava subterrâneos. Num delírio momentanêo dou por mim a percorrer as galerias subterrâneas. Estão gélidas, nada mais flui por estas fossas inanimadas. A sua fundação, rocha fria e dura acompanhada apenas pelo incontornável silêncio que ecoa através do tecido temporal destas cavernas. Por segundos volto a realidade do meu quarto, olho em redor, cadáveres suspensos pelos tornozelos esboçam sorrisos dolentes, uma dissimulação da dor enterrada nas suas essências fantasmagoricas. Sinto o olhar pesado destes vultos sombrios, estes recaem sobre mim como mil lâminas enferrujadas, metal oxidado disposto a delinear traços sobre o meu delicado tecido celular. E avançam sobre mim, torrentes de contemplações extintas, de palavras desmembradas, de frases fracturadas, interpretações espectrais sem nexo ou compreensão possível. Numa fracção de um milésimo de segundo, tudo retorna a normalidade. Os meus olhos diligenciam a escuridão, passo a pente fino o quarto, as paredes, os objectos. Nada se move. Lá fora na distância é audível o uivar de cães raivosos, que na noite uivam, procurando preencher o vazio da sua essência solitária. Ruidos estranhos ecoam pelas telhas desta casa velha, ratazanas devoram-se eroticamente sob uma lua rasgada. Tudo está em constante movimento, em constante transformação, o palpável mundo exterior, e o mentalmente insano cosmos interior. G.R. // Stonehag

about

'Nocturnal Affairs' marks the return of Portuguese musician G.R. under the moniker 'Stonehag',with a brand new set of original songs for your listening discomfort. Again a departure from the previous albums sound, with a more electronic approach to songwriting yet retaining the same vibe that we all have come to dearly despise.

Hope you can find some comfort in the sounds and words of 'Nocturnal Affairs'.

Bloody Kisses,
G.R. // Stonehag
