No Shore, No Star | Dominus Requiem | Catholic Doom Metal

"No Shore, No Star" ("Annus Aquae Tenebrosae") by Dominus Requiem. No shore or star offers direction. Noah keeps the charge entrusted to him and trusts without knowing when the waters will end.

The floor rose first; then every timber groaned. The pitch we laid began to sweat like skin. The creatures pressed their breathing through the dark. The ark climbed where no human hand could steer. No shore. No star. No hand could choose the course. Only the word that closed the door, the weight beneath our knees, and faith where sight had died. Vehementer enim inundaverunt; porro arca ferebatur super aquas. Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram, opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo. We fed by touch and counted by the cries. My sons held fast the beams that bent and screamed. I knew the measure of each room and rib; I had no measure for the power outside. The world I knew beat once against the hull, then vanished from the language of our hands. Cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae in terra, mortua sunt. Remansit autem solus Noe et qui cum eo erant in arca. Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus. One hundred fifty days without a shore. The rain had ceased; the waters gave no sign. I pressed my palm against the sealed black wood and heard our living breathe against the dead. I could not force the morning from the dark. I kept the charge and yielded what I could not guide. I kept the food. I held the beams. I could not hold the world. I trusted where I could not see. Recordatus autem Deus Noe cunctorumque animantium et omnium iumentorum, quae erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutae sunt aquae. Recordatus autem Deus. #CatholicMetal #DoomMetal #DominusRequiem Dominus Requiem creates Catholic metal for the soul at war: sacred metal, Gothic Catholic prayer, Scripture, old-master visuals, and daily Gospel reflections.
