Ripping down the valley of asphalt
Through a brainstorm of snow and ice
Where dynamite blasted the Canadian Shield, I ride
Highways 17 and 69
I understand the relation
Of black metal and modern life
How a cold winter sceneCan inspire distortion and screams
I am equal parts blood and ice
I am just as much man as tree
Through chaos and solitude I came
To become this black metal being
Each day I could see the changes
Each day I became more extreme
I understood how the sight of nature
Could inspire the sound of machines
I am equal parts blood and ice
I am just as much man as tree
Through chaos and solitude I came
To become this black metal being
I've traveled over dynamic earth at night
On highways 17 and 69
For the beauty of nature can lift my spirits
Even in the dead of winter.
Modern life can drive us to scream for the trees...(in harmony)
For those of us who can't find peace, at least we can have a release.
I understand the translation
Universal in human behaviour
A common expression and interpretation
Of Black Metal and modern life
Focused and strong
Without distraction, I look within
No one to talk me out of what I believe
Without reaction, I proceed.
I was on my own and alone to decide
Black metal was all that mattered, at the time
I found faith inspired by nature
And I was defined.
I am equal parts blood and ice
I am just as much man as tree
Through chaos and solitude I came
To become this black metal being
On this northern highway, under the starry sky
Mine was a cold, nocturnal, winter ride
And in the distance...
A stranger flashed his lights...

Woods of Ypres è una band canadese di black doom metal proveniente dall'Ontario. Fondata nel 2001 dal cantante e chitarrista David Gold, la band ha pubblicato sei album in studio, combinando influenze del black metal atmosferico con elementi di doom metal classico e post-rock. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da atmosfere cupe e malinconiche, testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come la morte, il dolore e la spiritualità, e un'esecuzione musicale potente e complessa. 2013 ha visto l'uscita di "Woods V: The Great Dismal", considerato uno dei loro lavori più maturi e influenti. Gold è anche noto per le sue performance teatrali e coinvolgenti durante i concerti. Nel 2017, Woods of Ypres si sono sciolti dopo la morte di David Gold. Alcuni brani rappresentativi includono "The Great Dismal", "A Crimson Sunset", e "Woods IV: The Deepest Roots".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
