The album "The Familiar Song" was conceived of as a narrative -- part myth, part murder ballad, part spooky bedtime story -- and to suit the theme we have commissioned a limited run of 28 page hardcover books! The lyrics for each song are accompanied by an original illustration by Mikey Wheeler on the facing page. Each high-quality hardcover book has been signed by all members of The Widow's Ride, and comes with a download code.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Familiar Song
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
The chapel was empty. The walls crumbling away.
The bells hang high up above us, and in the wind did silently sway.
You would have stood across from me.
You would have been dressed in white.
We would stand there hand in hand,
But the light left your eyes.
All my days, I’m out there searching.
And all my nights, I’ll let the lights burn for you.
Praying you’ll come back home.
I went back to your grave to say goodbye one last time.
When the night came you were by my side,
But by dawn I was alone and you were nowhere to be found.
And if you're out there somewhere, I hope you can hear my prayer.
And if you’re out there somewhere, come back. Into my arms.
Listen to the bells.
Find your way out of the night.
Break faith with the dead.
All these wrongs I’ll make right.
You’re somewhere out there.
I can hear your laugh.
Like you did when you were mine.
Like you did when your eyes faded to black.
All my days, I’m out there searching.
And all my nights, I’ll let the lights burn for you.
Praying you’ll come back home.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

I like how gritty and the punk nastalgia I felt with this album! So after listening to this several times I want to give song number one 5 stars. The Tempo of this song is amazing with those guitar Melodies that are changing and almost all over the place. In this song this guys voice "kills me softly"! the lyrics are simple yet profound! "The light is Lost inside!" socially awkward
