WENDIGO 04:08
WENDIGO Running in this ice storm Feet has had no rest since the start He will feed on human flesh Teeth grin with blood Rot, pain, gore, death This is the dreadful night Grave spirit’s possessed body Wendigo wailing in the voice of the wind Your soul will be swept away Doom lurks behind those trees Snow will cover the dead body Arise from the shadows, the skeletal form In this winter, the hunger is forever Snow will cover my sins Red as blood, my own blood Voice in the wind calls our doom I see the dead eyes burning me This is the sad and painful truth Grave hunger’s possessed body Will become demonic and foul Grim human nature, our sins red as the blood We are the Hell, we’ll be the Death We’ll be the Death! We are the Hell, we’ll be the Death, we’ll be the Death, The Hell itself!!! (dedicated to Frank Zappa)

COLD SKY 06:41
COLD SKY Awaken under the sky Clear sky, but so cold Where the sky grows The angels mourn Their hearts are torn Cold sky, my empty home Faces, lost and empty shapes You among the bitter lies Our time is passing by Beneath the cold grey sky The rotting begins from inside The light of your life, The depths of your eyes Unhide the horrible truth divine We are lost to each other Taken away by this night

DESOLATE MOORS The shadow of tonight’s insomnia Takes me to the lonely land Of desolate moors and silence Away from the city lights Forgotten the whores’ thirsty lips Beyond the walls of glass and concrete To much more deeper senses Primeval and dark, unrecalled silence Unified with memories from a bleak childhood I came here to die, at least in my thoughts Seeking the silence to a motionless state The wind is the weeper above my fallen body Cold smell of decay portraits the face of the night Dressed in the far away echoes of memories My song burns out upon this dark landscape Silence Silence is everything Silence She is everything
4.
UNDERWATER 05:45
UNDERWATER His eyes, his hands Upwards to distant sky Coldness is eternal Darkness is not a blessing Pressure he endures Underwater, away from sight Without his children His name is effigy to them His thoughts above the liquid To the wretched shore where they live Cast him in, the darkness calls his name Forget the time when he was something else Than stone... The will to live Arise anew and be The deep is pulsing Echoes silent, agonizing Darkness may be a blessing Coldness his dearest friend His children equal scum His name is strange to them

THE DOOMED HALLS OF DAMNATION Enter the doomed halls Of eternal damnation Where your nothingness Meets its end Dreadful chambers of agony Putrefied mass to cover your body Sorrow is like a tender mother to care When all is lost, this sadness remains... Majesty in this end of yours Embrace the destiny of martyrdom Madness is carried within the streams of life To rule your thoughts with an iron whip Enchained in unmerciful coldness Crying for the loved ones who are gone Mystery of eternal sleep of nightmares Is carried away with the flow of the rivers To the gray oceans polluted with tears
7.
ETERNAL EMERALD Sing the ageless song Brake the chains of reason The sword in your hand Will guide you through Christened by blood The life-giving sparkle won’t fade The eternal emerald shines Old fairy tales return from the dust Decay and the rust won’t break the heart You will never die in my dreams If something is truly forever It’s the fire between us Sing the ageless song Brake the chains of reason The sword in your hand Will guide you through The night is feral The trees seem alive Howling of nightmares Dead shadows you must fight Enthralled by your eyes This sorrow is mine All this pain is mine Cry for me when the winds come The storms never die The storms never die I wept for my loss of this moment The magical chalice lies broken Grieve over light that is stolen The kingdom of dreams has fallen
8.
THUNDERING HEIGHTS Towards where The gods and eagles dare Away from this curse Of infinite pain The thundering heights, Above the mankind’s creation Cold Olympus In mortal visions of desperation Breastfed with bloody milk to makethem heroes Raised to make a stand for something Remember how you were down Amid the ignorant crowd Oh, the solemn majesty Of high mountains Dreams rush to your Powerful silence We kneel and we die We are all ashamed... Knowing our hidden weakness (Struggles brought to naught by the higher hand Close your eyes repent and bleed) Remember how you were down Amid the ignorant crowd I would kill my brother Just to get higher above them I would betray my father Just to see that the stars are mine Nothing is sacred when we climb up The mountain of these earthly treasures Flesh and gold, swords and pride Commit your soul to the fire Remember how you were down Amid the ignorant crowd!

about

The second Frailty full-length album "Melpomene" 2012 (Arx Productions / P3lican)

Frailty reveals that during the creation of this album it has turned into a dark contemplation about present, past and future, about reality and fantasy.

The whole combination of these symbols lead the listener into the very heart of the music where melancholy meets the aggression and sorrow meets the storm.

The meditations of darkness are going hand in hand with the epic hymns and the horrors of madness.

The artwork for the new Frailty’s album "Melpomene" was intended to be something different to intentionally break the expectations associated with the cliches of how a decent Doom metal album artwork should look.
