Today is an amazing song by my fave Doom Metal band. Agalloch is an amazing band one of my faves because their lyrics are brilliant and their sound just immerses me in imagery. Ashes Against The Grain and The Mantle are my fave albums though I also love their 21min song. This song is my fave song and always will. It was the song that got me into Agalloch and it will be remembered as that. I think the reason I fell in love with these guys was their lyrics, John is an amazing writer and he is an amazing singer. The intro has such a unique sound and it just sets you up for the vocals. The Vocals are just something I can never get tired of hearing. There is a reason why John is up near the top spot of my fave vocalist. enjoy~

lyrics:
The water pours its embracing arms around the stone
Decay drips from the unquiet void where the ice forms, where life ends
The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed
The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted
My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory... a wave to end all time
Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow
To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies
The snow, the bitter snowfall
You wish to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence
In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen
The cascading pallor of ghostless feather
The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die
and fade away in silence
