about

'Agonia’ is the second ode of four in the Anhedonia suite, each of which personifies a specific aspect of depression or pain. In Ecclesiastical Latin the word suggests, beyond simple agony, a life-or-death struggle; it may also refer to Christ’s agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, during which, according to the legend, he begged his father to release him from his responsibility and bled out of every pore. Agonia is the very apex of pain: the climactic moment of exquisite anguish in the midst of which one can give heed to nothing else; the entire consciousness is dominated by this singular crisis …The darkness twists all perception, and yet one appears to see with a clarity rarely encountered otherwise: hope is a foolish lie; entropy, chaos, and meaninglessness penetrate every imaginable corner of the individual’s subjective universe. In turn, objective reality darkens, stygian and putrid. The agoniac reverie may pass, but one may never forget the awful truths revealed in its throes.

lyrics

Entranced ever by reveries of pain
In stasis held, by Agonia captive
Now malcontent to kneel at Beauty’s fane
For loveliness to me no longer lives
On unknown paths clouded as darken’d glass
Meander i alone through ceaseless days
On shores of the wide world, although so vast
No pleasures i perceived with veiléd gaze
Aloud i begged relief from cognizance
Wherein naught but oiziac strife abides
But nature’s deaf to agonized lament
Vain howling stirreth not the eunoch’d sky
No succor awaits those whom life’s enslaved
Until life’s carcass rots in putrid grave
