[Verse 1] Every memory hurts when born again. Why can I feel everything. Can't I just be where I belong. Can't I just just feel nothing. [Chorus] I don't want to hope, I just want to cry. This is no life, I just want to die. Is there a chance waiting for me Or am I doing it wrong. Forgetting to breathe. I want to feel the rain. I want to feel the earth, But it's so heartbreaking. [Verse 2] Go on my soul, use up your light. For a life more worth than mine. Lay me down in that grave forever. Do I need to die for me to remember. [Chorus] I don't want to hope, I just want to cry. This is no life, I just want to die. Is there a chance waiting for me Or am I doing it wrong? Forgetting to breathe. I want to feel the rain. I want to feel the earth, But it's so heartbreaking. [Bridge] What am I doing here (doing here). Just ruining me (ruining me). I am so full of it (full of it). What is so wrong with me. [Chorus] I don't want to hope, I just want to cry. This is no life, I just want to die. Is there a chance waiting for me Or am I doing it wrong? Forgetting to breathe. I want to feel the rain. I want to feel the earth, But it's so heartbreaking. [Ending Part] Forgetting to breathe. I want to feel the rain. I want to feel the earth, But it's so heartbreaking.

Grief scratches open my chest. Guilt! Rip cage compressed. Calling your name. Who to blame. Great search, scents spreaded. All the sorrow, all the pain, All for nothing. Closer than I thought. In my dreams you were here. Awoke into a nightmare. Prayers left unheard. Dark days won't pass. A song calls your name As the phone rings. A funeral arranged Home. You came home, home forever. All the sorrow, all the pain, All for nothing. Closer than I thought. All for nothing, nothing. In my dreams you were here. Awoke into a nightmare. Prayers left unheard. Awoke into a nightmare. You came home, home forever. All the sorrow, all the pain, All for nothing. Closer than I thought. All for nothing, nothing. In my dreams you were here. Awoke into a nightmare. Prayers left unheard. Awoke into a nightmare.

[Verse 1] I'm actually fine, got a good life. So many people around me So tell me why feeling lonely? Always on the move, never arriving anywhere. Looks like a vicious circle, Never meant to be broken. [Chorus] We've all been hurt before, And now we end up hurting others. Only tormented souls Hoping for salvation to come, Salvation to come. [Verse 2] I tried to be someone else. It made no difference. No not a difference at all. Damaged in the past. Incapable to find love. Looks like a vicious circle, never meant to be broken. [Chorus] We've all been hurt before, and now we end up hurting others. Only tormented souls hoping for salvation to come, salvation to come. [Bridge] Always on the move, Never arriving anywhere. Time won't heal my pain, But it surely makes it easier. Easier to go on. [Spoken Ending Part] Damaged in the past. Damaged and fucked up. Only tormented souls hoping for salvation to come. credits

[Verse 1] Woke up – in A crowded place where no one knows my name. Fade out – and I see a wounded body next to mine. Crawling to you I see my face in you. Seeing truths in new light and strange peace. [Chorus] We met in a foreign land. We met in a dream. The caroussel spins round and round. Forgotten visions, silent screams. Being the murderer of my own destination. I am spinning in the search of salvation. [Verse 2] Fallen – I See in you what I needed to see. Mask down – here. This place I’ll never leave the same. Show me all I need to see and Forgive my missing urge to flee. [Chorus] We met in a foreign land. We met in a dream. The caroussel spins round and round. Forgotten visions, silent screams. Being the murderer of my own destination. I am spinning in the search of salvation. [Bridge] In this carnival of a dreamland’s mess Where we meet so many but loose ourselves. Celebrating death, Celebrating life. Let your guard down. We’re falling. Falling. Falling. Falling down. [Ending Part] I know, you’re out there. I will find you. We meet in a foreign land. It’s a familiar place. The caroussel still spins around. Knowing my vision, I take my space.

about

"Gatherer of Souls" comprises 10 tracks that seamlessly blend the genres of Symphonic, Gothic, and Melodic Death Metal.
The Album delves into themes of darkness and melancholy, including subjects like death, salvation, and the memories of those left behind.

The title "Gatherer of Souls" also has a self-referential component, as Chris collaborated on this record with several musicians (Souls) who joined him on the majority of the tracks, such as Estelia, a Jewish mezzo-soprano with Georgian and Ukrainian roots, German female vocalist Cherry Summerfield of the Melodic Death Metal band July 15th and Per Lümbersson of German Melodic Death Metal band Aeon of Awareness. The cello parts in all songs were contributed by Polina Faustova, a Ukrainian cellist.

The tracks "On the Brink of Death" and „Remembrance" were previously released as Single versions in September and October 2023 whereas “Hoping for Salvation” and “Tales of My Demise”, released back in 2019 and 2021, are included in a remastered edition on this Album.
