My Lament | My Mausoleum (Official Video) | Doom Death Metal
Official video of “My Mausoleum“, taken from My Lament´s second album “The Season Came Undone“, out now via Ardua Music.
MY LAMENT is a doom/death metal band from Antwerp, Belgium. Since its genesis back in 2002, the core line-up has remained the same: founding members Steph (bass) and Vincent (drums), soon joined by Paul on guitar. Additional guitars, synths and vocals were supplied by various members throughout the years.
After two successful releases, “Broken Leaf” (2009, Solitude Productions) and “Sorrow” (2015), the band have honed their underground roots into a more accessible sound with an emphasis on concise songwriting and memorable melodies.
Their new album “The Season Came Undone” reflects the band’s ambition to reach a wider audience without giving up their doom/death heritage. With unique vocal harmonies, soaring leads, a pounding rhythm section and thoughtful lyrics, MY LAMENT has matured into a forward-thinking foursome that doesn’t sound quite like any other band.
Band would speak on this song: _“My Mausoleum” relates the personal experience of one of My Lament’s own. To feel locked in, unable to show one’s true self, can be torture, and we hope the cathartic second part of the song will inspire others to find their way to a better life. As the mausoleum’s walls break down, claustrophobia gives way to hopeful yearning and proud determination, with Paul delivering one of his signature expressive leads._
LYRICS
It’s quiet between these walls
Of black marble and sighs
Cold to the touch, seamless
To the world’s inquisitive eyes
This has been my fortress
For forty years or more
Frozen to the world outside
Frozen to the core
I’ve built a mausoleum
Of all that I hold dear
Nothing leaves or enters here
In my mausoleum
The past is locked in with me
The air is stale and dead
Echoes died out long ago
No more to be said
I walk along the walls at night
Cursing them aloud
Run my finger over them
Know them inside out
I’ve built a mausoleum
Of all that I hold dear
Cracks are starting to appear
In my mausoleum
I will tear it down
Brick by brick, stone by stone
I will shed my skin
To let the inside out
To let the outside in
In my mausoleum
