It throws me back in the Middle Ages, in a small village where people are genuine and where I live with my loved one; we are watching the sunset together, hugging, knowing that that kind of happiness won’t last forever and enjoying every bit of the life we are given, finding comfort in that kind of sorrow…and suddenly it starts raining, and the rain falls gently over our heads, but we stay there, humming this haunting and lovely melody, sharing the few moments we are given before the bell tolls for us

I love this song so very much. Not sure why, but it conjures images for me of a beautful dark and snowy forest and being tempted by the devil. I see a lot of the old 80’s movie Legend when I hear it.

This song radiates the same vibe as the ending of Re:Zero episode 15. It's more than creepy, it's terrifying. Sorta like staring into the depths of the ocean, or having some leviathan creature stare at you with one big eye, or lying down bleeding out, knowing you're on Death's doorstep. Simply terrifying, and kinda beautiful at the same time

I hope they play this on repeat at my funeral.

such a great instrumental track. It has something hypnotizing, nostalgic and melancholic at the same time.

This is perfect. I was thinking about how I could listen to this all day and then I found this. It makes me feel like I'm exploring a dark snowy forest somewhere in Finland. So beautiful and calming

Congratulations, you all have become simps of Daddy Akerfeldt. Welcome!

The theme of the album prequelle is based off the black plague. This segment of this song helps me imagine something Picture this: as this segment is playing, you’re in a forest of dead trees. No leaves at all. The ground covered in ash as the flakes gently fall around you from the skies as a result of the devastation this plague hath brought The skies are covered with dark gray clouds that even the sun cannot break through. Darkness overtakes the land as you’re filled with sadness and misery. The trail is lined with the bodies of corpses. Some reaching for the skies begging God to take their souls from the hellish agony they endured. Their last breaths were that of pain as God did not save them. They were taken into the depths of the abyss as they’re surrounded by the ashes that Hell brought upon the land. Their souls consumed by fire with their haunting screams muted by smoke. You can only imagine you will be next as you venture through the trail knowing that death awaits you. Your body weakens as you continue onwards hoping that there truly is salvation amongst the plague. Perhaps there truly is a path to healing from this horrible plague. You fear you may just be another soul lost forever to Satan’s grasp on Earth. The strength to walk, run, or even breath grows even weaker. Death must have come early. However, you see the silhouette of a gothic style cathedral at the end of the trail. Your body gains just enough strength to make it to the church. But is it enough? The bells of the cathedral ring. They grow louder as you get closer and gain more strength in your legs to finish the long walk through darkness and death. Reminded of the stench of rotting bodies and thick smoke and ash. The bells ring louder as you have made it to the last hope for salvation. But in your mind, it may just be a ruse. Your strength deteriorates once more as you entered the cathedral. It is empty and dark. The stain glass windows barely illuminate the pews and the altar. Your body collapses to a feeble crawl towards the altar. You make it to the altar. Your legs are gone. Your vision gets darker. The last thing you see is death itself waiting to take you away. Death speaks only one sentence to you. “This is the moment of just letting go” he said. It was time. Time to let go. One last ring of the bells was heard before darkness consumed you at last. You let go. The suffering has finally ended.

everytime i listen to this i can't stop thinking about the forest scenes from the princess mononoke. the movie and this song, both are too good to be true

The whole song kinda gives me ballroom dancing vibes, specifically in the medieval era. Like joyful and fun for the first part, where a bunch of people are gathered to dance and have fun for the last time, and then this part, where a maiden slow dances with the love of her life alone in the ballroom together. This part feels bittersweet to me, with a hint of sadness about having to say goodbye, but also a sense of joy that they both have happy memories to look back on, and that they still have that moment together ...This probably made no sense, but ah well 😅

This song is my solice and when I go into deep meditation to converse with his infernal majesty I feel absolute peace

This is the feeling when you're aware that you're sleeping but at the same time you're being unconscious and now you're entering the foreign but familiar realm where you float around until you arrive in that safe spot only you know it exists in that place and when you basking in the comfort it provides your awareness reminds you that this would come to end and you have to wake up and say goodbye to that place until the time you close your eyes and hope you would land in that place again

What is it what is the feeling I get from this part of the song called. It’s like a density in me stomach that happens whenever I’m really really interested in or passionate about something. This song makes me want to tap into the spiritual/mythological part of myself. It gives me a nostalgia for a time I haven’t lived in, around a few thousand years back. It gives me well needed inspiration for my artwork. It gives me everything I need😭

Any one else just imagine themselves playing skyrim while running through the forest to fall upon one of those breathtaking views? Just me?

He stood watching the void growing ever more expansive. The flickering tallow candles, stunted from one too many long night, flutter out one by one, a silent, unfelt breeze blowing then out. The chiming of the clock had long since stopped, but he didn't mind. Watching the void fill the corners and cracks of his room, he remembered the deal he had made with the shadowman, the chiming of the bells in the distance the night he had turned from his portion of the bargain struck. He did not mind the cold blackness coming for him. It was his earned reward, his dark solace for his untrustworthiness. The fireplace went dark, the fire extinguished by cold fingers of icy nothingness. The void was upon him, stroking his cheek as a tear fell from his eye. "I have come for you," the shadowman said, "as I promised I always would." "Will I be alone there," the man asked. "In the void? Will I be forced to stand a lonely vigil?" "No," the shadow said slowly and cool, but with audible affection. "I will stand with you, as I always have, and now, always will." The void took him, and he was at peace.
