about

A heavy song about a man who is lured to commit suicide by angry spirits. Written in 2012 and inspired by Bathory

lyrics

By the mountains foot, walking all alone
It was quiet but I sensed something here wasn’t right

I could hear it whisper, growing closer still
Like the promise of that evil was now closing in

Don’t take me…
Aokigahara
Leave me alone…
Aokigahara

I could feel a rope, tightening around my neck
Started to cry, as my own hands were doing the act

I was released, but dropped down paralyzed
Saw trees falling down from every direction towards me

Don’t take me…
Aokigahara…
Leave me alone…
Aokigahara…

And all of a sudden…
The mountain was set aflame
Death swept in on me like a veil
I closed my eyes, as it took me away

My eyes were opened
But I was not alive
I saw a thousand people
Standing right there before me

And I felt their hunger
So unsatisfied
Robbed of their final rest
They sought remembrance from all

I’ll take you
I’m Aokigahara
I won’t leave you
I’m Aokigahara

Forsaken here I wander
The flames around me do not warm me
And I’ll sweep in on you like a veil
Close your eyes to take you away
