Today, Purgatorial presented their song “Harvesting Nightmares“. Described by the band as “an unsettling track about not knowing when your time to pass will come“, the song keeps a crushing atmosphere throughout that lives up to its title. The wonderfully existential lyrics add to the piece as we are reminded of our mortality, and the combination of black/death/doom metal is perfectly balanced as well. Coming in at just under 5 mins, this upload may be a short one but it certainly isn’t short in quality, so you should definitely check it out.
Lyrics
“The silence of darkness and the night draws near.
Reluctant to close my eyes. A newfound fear.
The shadows, I hear their calls. My nightmares are seeping.
Don’t let my existence fade. Don’t let me sleep.
And there you await me, in the dead of the twilight.
Reaching with your hands, a faux sense of comfort.
The bells around me call, refusal imposed on me.
Don’t take my essence away. Don’t let me sleep.
Visions, leave me alone.
Restless, bloodshot, DIE!
Now is not my time, prey on another.
My presence is tainted, own your mistakes.
Oh Sandman, harvesting souls.
Mine is worthless – a spoiled jewel.
Your intentions and trust is faded.
Don’t take me away. Let me dream.”
