Part I: A Frail Dream This is a song for the cursed No one knows when the end comes Far away there is maybe an elixir for me When winter comes in my land This curse seems to be noble But is it really a curse to love loneliness ? This coldness It makes me feel alive The sun is hiding Behind the fog and the clouds The wind in my hair Takes me back into my dreams And drops me off In my snowy landscape This is the song of my fall Slowly plunging me into the snow I feel my skin getting cold And my bones becoming frail During this time my soul is escaping through nature My body's dying and assimilated by the ground and its life I remember the meadow I remember the feelings When the grass caressed my being And when the sorrow took me I remember the forest I remember the fall of leaves When the mold was all coated And my sadness won't leave me Now I can see this beautiful world Without any trouble Painting my own travel And finally my own landscape Part II: A Reality of Sorrow The song of the breeze wakes me up It sings in harmony with the crying river And the whispering trees The fog dressing up the mountains With its most beautiful coat I can only admire the show that nature offers me I see the meadow I feel the grass caressing my being I see the forest I see the leaves falling

O ! Dear etherial Moon O ! Dear celestial Horizon Why can't I feel your heat I tried so hard to get closer I'm doing everything To go away from this earth Looking at the sky Thinking about the space I see the stars shining I feel the rain on my skin My mind’s in the nothingness The one from another galaxy Only one last chance Jhator is the solution Death by the Vulture My flesh is a gift I want my spirit To be free and celestial Scattered by the birds On top of a mountain Taken by the Dakinis Finally I feel the wind I'm doing everything To go away from this earth Looking at the sky Thinking about the space I see the stars shining I feel the rain on my skin My mind’s in the nothingness The one from another galaxy

Fog of War 05:22
Instrumental

Hiding in the fog of war Lies the ruins of my being Broken into a thousand pieces Despite my fight to keep it intact Too many lost battles Against an eerie aura Too many hopes died in a quiet thud Prostrated in the dirt Bathing in its own blood My soul cannot see anything In this field of Clouds and Feuds I lose hope in humanity I lose hope in the ashes of my heart to be born again I lose the battle against myself
5.
Dancing Leaves under the weight of water Dreaming Man hoping for a better future His feet sinking into the mud And washed away by the smell of the rain Thanks to this hail The forest is living It speaks, it cries and it grows He knows that it will be the last one The last torrent from the sky He always had unrequited love But never with nature Grow, forest, grow ! The sky is darkening Birds and terrestrial creatures are silent He enjoys his last seconds And finally closes his eyes Like a tear flowing down a face the drop falls from the dark clouds Carried by the wind before crushing after its fellows

about

Cân Bardd's second album "The Last Rain" is a huge step forward for the band. We put our heart and all the means we had at our disposal to create an album that suited our vision of the atmospheric black metal and we succeeded.

"There are so many more musical moments worthy of their own attention on this album but it would honestly take us many more words to cover all of then. Instead, we’ll encourage you to listen to this album if you are fans of atmospheric or folk black metal to any degree. It’s one of the more accomplished, intricate, and ambitious explorations of the genre and its capabilities that we’ve heard in a long time and sure to feature in at least this writer’s end of year lists. It’s frankly the most fun I’ve had with the genre in a long time, absent all its pompous trappings and beleaguering interludes, replaced with a self-assured approach to the contrasts which make it so damn beautiful and appealing."

"The result is a fifty minute album that I want to take to the mountains and listen to on repeat with a spectacular landscape in front of me and if nature would be on my side, a bit of mist and a slightly rainy scent in the air. But until you can get to that place, Cân Bardd still does a great job at bringing the spirit of nature in the comfort of your own home."

Cân Bardd Switzerland

Influenced by bands such as Caladan Brood, Elderwind, Saor and Gallowbraid, Cân Bardd was founded in 2016 as a one-man project by then 18 year old Malo Civelli from Switzerland, with the purpose of creating an outlet for his feelings and ideas that would be at once heavy and aggressive, yet also melodic and atmospheric. ... more
