1.
As the Light Fades Endless void Writhing sea Beckoning the silence call to thee Ancient earth Raging sky Where is salvation, voice in the darkness? Answer our cry Sleep now in reverie Haunted by futility Pilgrims on the path of no return Holding vigil as the light fades Longing for the morningtide to carry you away Sleep now in reverie Haunted by eternity Pilgrims on the path of no return Far beyond this suffering Grieve now for the wandering Walk away and watch the children burn As the light fades As the light fades As the light fades As the light is fading
2.
The Precipice The blade is ready The knot is made The note is written Dark serenade A place of parting A time to die The black horizon The bitter cry A search for reason What have we done? A shroud of mourning Obscures the sun The silent coffin The final words A plea to heaven In the frozen earth Step back from the precipice Walk away from the ledge Share the sorrow pushing you to the edge Step away from oblivion Walk away from the end Let me help you carry this weight of suffering, of pain This place of parting A time to die The black horizon The bitter cry The silent coffin The final words We make a plea to heaven In the frozen earth

Yearning 05:02 video
Yearning Give light to my eyes or I’ll sleep in the earth My days are the evening shadow Record my lament, list all of my tears These eyes grow weak with sorrow A life that we shared These echoes of time Summer has passed and beauty has died To know and be known Now slipping from me Fear in your eyes when a stranger you see So here I will stand An ocean between us To whisper your name as memory fades And so I will wait At the edge of forever To see you return, to carry you home My heart broken again These embers will die To rest in the earth And winter will end Beauty return As memory fades Entwined in the grave
4.
When the Spirit Departs the Body And here I am Cracked and empty vessel This journey done I will leave you here And here you are Gathered at the parting You’ll journey on Travel well my dear And as the light Dies on the horizon A darkness comes I will fear no pain And as the sun Falls behind the mountains For one last time I will speak your name
5.
Confessions 05:02
Confessions Weave a wicked tale Vacant words regale Truth obscured and veiled Lies unfolding Poison on the lips of children Drinking in derision Funeral confessions, nightmares gilding Blood and birth made for you a crown Quell the heathen fire Raise them from the mire Take all you desire In God’s name Poison in the hearts of children Offspring of perdition Silent requiem without contrition Blood and birth made for you a crown Poison on the lips of those we hear Poison in the hearts of those we fear Build upon the bones of those the strong oppose to build the empire Poison in the place of bitter tears Ruler, ordained Liberate, invade Ruler, punisher Conqueror, crusade Beneath these statues towering high and far Our children buried, face to the stars A promise whispered, a bleeding crown This silent place, for all to drown
6.
Aefnian 03:31
Aefnian Daylight dying Moonrise shining Summer leaving Shadow breathing Candles lighting Winter greeting Time for sorrow Wistful sleeping Nightfall coming Moonlight dreaming Father, Mother Silent grieving Forest dancing Season yielding Twilight veiling Shrouding, waiting
7.
The Search for Meaning Burning candles flicker through the night Sleep now, rest here, waiting for the light to break through Fragile, fallen, shelter through the storm Sleep now, rest here, longing for the dawn Faint heart, burn bright as you wait to see the light And we are here, nameless from birth We search yet blind and bound to earth And we are one, a thought frozen in time Weep for a world that waits to die And as we weave these darkened dreams Come taste the bitter tears we bleed And in our eyes, a sorrow that we share A burden far too great to bear all alone What is this life? Vanity all A span of days we can’t recall What is this death? The comfort of a friend The search for meaning at the end All our gods are broken Silent as the grave All our hope is fading Scorn and fear remains Emptiness and whispers Unavailing eyes Will the earth remember? Will she hear our cries? Burning candles flicker through the night Sleep now, rest here, waiting for the light Burning candles flicker, holding back the night Faint heart, burn bright as we wait to see the light Fragile and fallen, we shelter through the storm Sleep now and rest here as we wait to see the dawn All our gods are broken Silent as the grave All our hope is fading Scorn and fear remains Emptiness and whispers Unavailing eyes Will the earth remember? Will she hear our cries? Will the sky behold us In our crimson pain? Death and rage and hatred Call us from the grave Burning candles flicker Waiting for the light Will the earth remember? Will she hear our cries? What is this life if not a sorrow that we share? What is this pain if not a burden that we bear? What is this death if not the comfort of a friend? What is this endless search for meaning at the end? Burning candles flicker through the night Sleep now, rest here, waiting for the light

about

Thy Listless Heart to release “Pilgrims on the Path of No Return” just in time for 2022’s Doom Metal newcomer of the year! An epic soundtrack of sorrow and longing as we journey into the unknown.

Sorrow, pain, yearning and hope all wrapped up in a solo Doom Metal project by Simon Bibby.

Upon receiving the seven tracks which together make “Pilgrims on a Path of No Return”, Hammerheart Records was convinced that the world needed to hear this great album. Thy Listless Heart is the sole creation of Simon Bibby, who recorded the album at his home in Derbyshire, England and then enlisted the skills of Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Recording Studios for mixing and mastering. Simon has a great track-record in creating Metal dating back to the late 80’s when he was bassist and later, guitarist in Seventh Angel, who released a couple of cool Thrash Metal albums on Under One Flag Records.

Thy Listless Heart is a different entity; it is atmospheric Metal, filled with Doom elements and sad melodies, crowned with passionate singing. Think as if the atmospheric parts of Primordial meet later Anathema with a pinch of Dead Can Dance thrown in. The album needs to be heard in its entirety to get the full emotions and atmospheres it creates; it is indeed a pilgrimage. From melodic, heavier and doomier tracks as “As the Light Fades” and the grasping “The Precipice” to ambient/folk inspired pieces as “When the Spirit Departs the Body” and “Aefnian” resulting in the almost monstrous (in length) track “The Search for Meaning”, it is all passionate and beautiful, although in a saddened way.
