MÖRKDÖD

BAND NAME: Mörkdöd (Morkdod)
GENRE: Experimental Post-Black Metal / Depressive / DSBM / Ambient
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Russia (Moscow)

Formerly went by [Morkerod].
Like under the old name, this project is highly influenced by severe personal struggles in the artist's life. Much more information is available on that page.

The new band name means "dark death" in Swedish, and the artist felt this name fit the project better.

At the time of writing, the only releases so far are re-releases of Morkerod material. I assume new material will happen at some point, too.

Lineup:
A Lonely Emperor - All instruments, Vocals

1) Satanic Decomposition
7:49, lyrics:
I walked away from half of life
Only shadows met me there
So many written and done
Now just sleeping in hell eternal

Hell swallowing me
Gnawing to the bones
All I can see is fire
Satanic forge

Dark walk in the shadows
Tree color is only black
Trip of torment
For heresy

Deny this way
Embrace the Christ
There is no power in hell
Satan's just the beast

Crush evil within
Your chains are broken
Just let it go
And inhale freedom

Satanic lies isn't deserve
To be written and token
Living in it just killing
And tearing apart

2) Soul Necrosis
6:13, lyrics:
Numb existence
Tearing soul
Covered with sores
Unhappy doom

Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe

Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain

It stains my soul
It leaves me cold
I can feel
My downfall

Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe

Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain

So deep pain

3) Shards of Faith
5:06, lyrics:
God!
Give me strength
Save my soul
Deliver me
From evil

Overcoming
Obsession
Feeling the touch
Of your hand

Embracing the light
I renounce from sin

I hope I will save
My shards of faith

God and I
Will be one
In his flesh
And blood

Let me feel
Your being
Your mighty
Your touch

4) Merciful Lord
3:56, lyrics:
Oh, Lord my God
I beg for you to forgive me
I could say a thousand words
Trying to open Heaven's doors

Should I follow you
To Golgotha?
Should I die for you
For my faith in you?

I follow you through ice and fire
I follow you to the better
Your presence is with me
But I am overshadowed

This was not what I desired
But I'm just your creation
I want to be loved
By my merciful Lord

5) One Man's War
6:28, lyrics:
In God’s reflection
His providence
Only freedom
In it

But I’m chained
By sin
And I can’t
Brake fetters

Overcoming passions
For eternal life
God’s purity is
Even in me

Just open
Your spirit
And follow
His will

Slowly
With short steps
I will come
To Heaven

Battlefield within
My soul
This is my
Personal war

1) Hymns of Lament
5:39, lyrics:
Above my field
Red moon is rising
People's faces
Are so pale

In black skies
The storm is coming
Copper hue
The flame of demons

In a crowd in the sky
Circling in dance
Shadows are whispering
Birds are screaming

Cover your soul
Demons are flying
Spreading their wings
Hymns of lament

2) Reigning Shadows
3:11, lyrics:
In dark room of hundreds of mirrors
Plurals of thousands of deaths shine
I walked my path through dark forest
In reflection of reigning shadows

Death breathes in neck
I won't come back
I see God's eyes
Full of cries

Shadows reign
To my soul
Try to brake
My faith

My last shard
Piece of Christ
It will guide
Away

Shadows reign to me

3) Relapse of Sin
5:26, lyrics:
Crucified heart able only to think
A voice inside lost hope to feel

Within dark chambers of soul
Memories of faceless faces
Cold flow of bloody seas
Colors of invisible flowers

I miss spark of faith
That gives strength to take step
All that remains are decayed
Nothing drive away the dark of sin

4) Tears of Theotokos
7:28, lyrics:
My Son
Look at these hands
That carried You
That loves You

With humility
And prayer
I stretch them out
To You

Have mercy
On the troubled
Human race
You still love

For they know not
What they do
By disbelief
Were consumed

Twisted by sin
Shackled by dark
Still pursuit
To light

5) In a World Without God
6:59, lyrics:
Our world with no values
So much sin, lechery, obsession
And disbelief

There is no fear
The wrath of God
It's just empty word

So tired to see all of this
Want to escape from world
I just want to feel
There is still a piece of God
