Lyrics:
With sorcery and hate, this tale opens at dusk
“Gathered sprits heed the call and rise to satiate”
The witch begins her black soul rite
With malice amplified, her aptitude inclined
“I summon those who wonder still and seek to counsel truth”
The girl implores, her knowledge yearns.
With skill and profound will, she’ll have what she desires
“Comprehension from afar, or death may take me now”
A sudden vision from beyond illuminates her fate
A train of souls, a million paced, a long journey awaits
"Rohesia, Rohesia, We cry to you
Rohesia, Rohesia, Rohesia"
The witch ignites in new-found purpose
With material possessions placed quickly on her back, she leaves this hole to find and join the Nightmare Cavalcade
The girl sets forth towards destiny
Death, Decay, and Magick Foul
Death, Decay, and Magick Foul

Lyrics:
A thousand souls denied, a march of death despised
Stretching far as eyes can see upon this shattered earth
With a blue haze glow, and a willing toll
Rohesia does cross this void to join the march of souls
With a blue haze glow, and a willing toll
Rohesia does cross this void to join the march of souls
A thousand souls denied, a march of death despised
Stretching far as eyes can see upon this shattered ground
Her march begins hereafter, her fate henceforth in place
Roaming far as eyes can see, a choice she’ll soon regret
(A spirit tells rohesia this)
“We all deserve to die, even you and even I”
“We all deserve to die, even you and even I”
A thousand souls denied, a march of death despised
Stretching far as eyes can see upon this shattered field
Yet in this hell of human fear, the girl did take her place
A happiness, however brief, rests deeply in her heart

Lyrics:
Trapped now forever, this young woman waits
Adventure and wonder, have now been replaced
With violent agony, taking its place
Rohesia mourns, her fated demise
A broken life among the dead, damned by a child to eternally march
Spirits mock in spite of error
Restless dead dismiss her being
“This one shall age forever more, true death never to be”
“March, eternally”
“Forever now in death”
A broken life among the dead, damned by a child to eternally march
Spirits mock in spite of error
Restless dead dismiss her being
Trapped now forever, this young woman waits
Adventure and wonder, gone without trace
With violent agony, taking its place
Rohesia mourns, her unending chase
The clock hands keeps spinning, the moon still will rise
Yet time will stand still in the Great Dark endwise

Lyrics:
The gates await through the veil, the dark beyond has come at last
Within the shadows a specter calls, he beckons forth the endless dead
The gatekeeper judges the damned, his black wings curl, unfurl his law
Rohesia, the old witch crone, before the void, four decades past
The black soul keeper turns his great hood forth, his eye extends to meet her gaze.
“Please! I beg of you, take this life i’ve paid the price, my soul, my soul, just let me rest!”
With a great black claw he gathers forth, her broken, sunken frame, plucks the girl from her shattered shell, the abyss rises to greet her
Eyelids open, head still spinning, earth beneath her, soft and warming
Blue light flicker, dew drop morning, life restored to wander freely

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...
