lyrics
======= Romanian =======
Tăcem din gură
Din tot, ne-a mai rămas aieve,
Acest zid grav, aceste dreve.
Crunt ferecati în piatra dură
Cu pumnii strânși, tăcem din gură.
Tăcem, parc'am tăcea de veacuri
Ca niște funduri vechi de lacuri.
Și ferecat în bezna sură,
De mii de ani, tăcem din gură.
Ei: ziduri, lanturi, temnicerii,
noi, numai cremenea tăcerii.
Ei, biciuri cu bătăi și ură,
noi, uriaș înghet pe gură.
Deasupra vremii și genunii,
Tăcem ca spinii și tăciunii.
Tăcem ca lama de custură,
Tăcem mereu, tăcem din gură.
Ne linge frigul pe ciolane,
Ei, foame, cuie și ciocane
Și orice zi e-o muscătură.
Scrâșnind din dinti, tăcem din gură.
Tăcem ca lacătul pe ușe,
Tăcem ca focul sub cenușe,
Tăcem, dar noaptea sub celule,
Vuiesc torente nesătule.
Un zgomot bubuie departe,
Se darmă parcă ziduri sparte
Și parcă lanturi cad în zgură.
Noi așteptăm, tăcem din gură.

Keeping silent
Of all that we had, what is now truly ours
Is this serious wall -- this sawdust
Cruelly headed in hard rock
With tight fists, we're keeping silent.
We're keeping silent, as if we've done so for ages
As if we were ancient lake bottoms
And headed in grey gloom
For thousands of years, we've been keeping silent.
Them -- walls, chains, the turnkeys
us, the flint of silence
Them -- whips of beatings and hatred
us, thumped frost over our mouths.
Beyond time and chasms
We keep silent as thorns and embers
Silent as a scythe's blade
We're always silent, our mouths shut.
The cold licks our bare bones
Them -- hunger, spikes and hammers
As every day becomes a bite
Grinding our teeth, we're keeping silent.
Silent as the locks on our doors,
Silent as fire under cinders
At night, beneath our cells,
We hear insatiable gushes.
A rumble comes from far off
As if tearing down walls
And chains seem to drop to ashes
Still, we are waiting, keeping silent.
Gyr is a one-man raw Unblack Metal project. Its aim is to musically instill the torturous conditions to which Christian martyrs have been subjected for their faith.
The great NYC black metal group Dawnbreaker returns with another harrowing LP, where brutal riffs are trailed by eerie synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2022
