I’m on my own
Lost in my home
Wake in the dawn
Scared, I’m alone
Long for your soul
Wish you came home
Visit your stone
Your flesh and bone
I know you’re gone
I must move on
Your soul lives on
Deep in my heart
Cry for your soul
Dream with your ghost
Wake up alone
Visit your stone
Ah, you’re gone
Won’t come home
You’ll live on
In our heart

I’m holding on to all that’s gone
Rain wash me out
Take what’s died
I won’t be whole, not again
It’s the end
You won’t be back once again
It’s the end
All I had of you is gone
All I had is left behind
All I had of you is gone
Clean my scars
All that´s gone

Live your life
Say Goodbye
Breath and fly
This blue sky
When I die, I’ll know I tried
No, don’t cry
Life was mine
Live your life
Say Goodbye
Breath and fly
This blue sky
Life with you was fine
Was mine
No, don’t cry
I could fly

Walk in a cloud
Stare in the fog
Long for the dawn
Lost, gone
Wish deep inside
No one is gone
And realize you’re gone, lost
I’m alone, I’m lost
Now that you are gone
I´m on my own
Scared deep inside
Forced to be proud
I’m alone
On my own
Lost, alone
On my own

Sadness lives in you
No point fighting through
I don’t wanna cry
But I’m hurt inside
I don’t wanna cry
Will I ever smile?
Sadness cries on the darkest night
Shadows rise on the silent sky
Sad sight
Grief night
Deep cry stands out
Grieving times on the dead of night
Sadness shouts on the silent sky
Sad sight
Grief night
Deep cry stands out

I can’t see your face again
Can’t hear your voice again
Can’t hear your laugh again
Why my god?
Why my blood?
Why this loss?
Why my blood?
I can’t hear your voice again
But I can see you when I dream
Can see you smile again
Why my god?
Why my blood?
Why this loss?
Why my blood?
I won’t see your face again
But I can hear you in my dreams
Can see your smile again
Can see your face again

Veo al tiempo pasar.
Es indiferente ante el dolor.
Miro perplejo y no consigo entender si estoy soñando o si esto es una realidad.
Después de mucho pensar ya entiendo que mi tiempo tendrá que pasar.
Si algo sé de la realidad tengo certeza que habrá que sufrir.
Pero al mismo tiempo entiendo que para reír hay que saber llorar y para vivir hay que saber morir.
I see time pass.
It is indifferent to pain.
I look perplexed and I can't understand if I'm dreaming or if this is reality.
After much thought I come to understand that my time will have to pass.
If I know something about reality, I am certain that it will be necessary to suffer.
But at the same time I understand that to laugh you have to know how to cry and to live you have to know how to die.

**PREMIERE**
No Clean Singing: "The pain in the music is indeed palpable — and vast. The song becomes a lament that’s sweeping in its scope and searing in its penetrating power. But yes, it’s also beautiful."

**REVIEWS**
Metal temple -10/10 Score - "Every Day, A Funeral" is yet another sterling and heartfelt album in the ever growing discography. If this music doesn't show a nonbeliever the true power of doom metal then I don't know what will. - Justin Wittenmeier
www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/r_2/rise-to-the-sky.htm
Deaf Sparrow - 4.8/5 Score - "Every Day, A Funeral creates a tear-drenched void with rumbling, agonized vocals resounding over its expanse." - Stanley, Devourer of Souls
www.deafsparrow.com/2022/05/03/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral-super-good-and-still-super-slow-funeral-doom/
GBHBL - 10/10 Score - "An album that is irresistibly beautiful but also unashamedly dark and heavy. The combination of atmospheric grandeur and mind-crushing death-infused doom creates a towering melancholic monstrosity that hypnotizes from beginning to end."
www.gbhbl.com/album-review-rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral-meuse-music-records/
Angry Metal Guy - 3.5/5 (Very Good) - "Every Day, A Funeral is a relentlessly sad album, leaning heavily towards doom metal tropes. Catalán’s vocals are, as ever, funereal and crushing, his riffs solid, his keys haunting." - Twelve
www.angrymetalguy.com/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral/
Metal Epidemic - 4/5 Score - His music evokes visions of desolation, reminiscent of The Colonies from The Handmaid’s Tale. It calls forth epic skirmishes between angels and demons in the way that, although this is very much doom metal and speaks to the darkest regions of the human essence, there is also most definitely a strange sense of sanguinity and serene calm, even a sense of elation. - Jason James
www.metalepidemic.com/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral/
Sentinel Daily - "A complex entwining of accomplished artistry and naked honesty, Every Day, A Funeral is a momentous achievement." - Mideous Destructor.
sentineldaily.com.au/shrapnel-little-shards-of-metal-18/
Metal Revolution - 91/100 Score - "Every Day, A Funeral would be a perfect backdrop for an evening in a shelter high up on a mountain, whiskey in hand as the sun sets on the distant trees; Feeling the weight of the world even as the day ends" - Brian
www.metal-revolution.com/uncategorised/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral
Acta Infernalis: 85/100 score: "The extreme saturation drowns us under the effective riffs and the melodic additions which fuel the ambient sadness"
actainfernalis.com/2022/05/11/review-1171-rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral-english/
Veil of Sound: "It slowly pans out like an introspective story about farewells, or one might say, farewell letters."- Knut
veilofsound.com/2022/05/06/Rise-to-the-Sky-Every-Day,-a-Funeral.html
Nine Circles: "Rise To The Sky makes music that sits with you long after its over." - Hera
ninecircles.co/2022/05/09/album-review-rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral/
Mournful Sounds: "Gonzalez Catalan manages to combine quantity and quality revealing himself a sort of blessing from heaven for those who love these sounds" - Stefano Cavanna

KaosGuards - 16/20 Score -
www.kaosguards.com/2022/05/17/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral-chili/
Zware Metalen: 79/100 score: "Slow, extremely slow, but beautiful in all its glory. When the pouring rain stops, the gray blanket breaks open and the light breaks through the cloud cover, the heat feels liberating. " - Mr Jingles
zwaremetalen.com/albumrecensies/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral
Metalitalia - 7.0 sore - "Dark skies and stormy seas accompany the mental picture gallery set up by Rise To The Sky throughout the album, crystallizing in very slow, monolithic music..."
metalitalia.com/album/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral/
Jamm Tomorrow: "Rise to the Sky have a very neat touch with when it comes to subdued melancholy. This is basted with orchestral flourishes and muted harmonies that give this an ‘End Credit’ melo-drama. "
www.jammtomorrow.com/post/rise-to-the-sky-every-day-a-funeral
Extreme Metal Maniac Blog: "Sergio Gonzalez Catalan is not just a great songwriter and musician. He's a composer who paints, with music, a black and white picture of a painfully sad scene and yet inserts a red rose to signify beauty. I absolutely love this album."
extrememetalmaniacblog.blogspot.com/2022/05/rise-to-sky-every-day-funeral-review.html
Disfactory.it: 74% score - "Every Day, at Funeral, is a slow, conscious cry, ready, however, to take on, to afford, its own moments of dark revenge." - DVKE
