台灣民謠金屬樂團 Crescent Lament 恆月三途，於2020年底推出第三張專輯 —【噤夢 Land of Lost Voices】。【噤夢】以終戰後國民政府來台前期的台灣社會為背景，除了在音樂上融入更豐富的民俗樂器，也將上張專輯【花殤 Elegy for the Blossoms】的主角阿香再度帶入歌曲中，藉著藝妲阿香與戀人明風兩人未完的緣分，娓娓道出歷史洪流中台灣人民遭遇的悲傷故事。

首支MV —「孤燈微微 By the Lone Light」，從阿香及明風的視角出發，描述二二八事件發生後，無數台灣人面臨的生離死別。

--- 專輯歌詞本節錄 ---
……如同那年代無數台灣有志青年，受過現代教育的明風，對台灣的未來懷抱無比熱忱。1947年3月8日，即將出門的明風說道：「聽講基隆港咧欲出代誌矣，為著妳佮囡仔的未來，我愛去看覓（聽説基隆港快要出事了，為了妳跟孩子的將來，我必須去看看）。」接著他擁著阿香，繼續說：「我下暗就會轉來。若是趕袂轉來，我會先去社寮島的阿兄兜蹛一暝（我傍晚就會回家。倘若趕不回來，我會先去社寮島的大哥家住一晚）。」

然而，明風再也沒有回來。隔日，阿香從鄰居口中得知，中國來的援軍已從基隆港登陸，船還沒靠岸就架起機槍掃射民眾，岸上軍隊也沿街瘋狂開槍；成群學生被軍隊割掉耳鼻及生殖器後，用刺刀戳死；其餘沒死的市民被軍隊抓起來，三、五人一組遭鐵線刺穿手掌足踝，串成一排排帶到港邊，朝頭上開一槍後踢到海裡。幾天後，浮起的屍體漂滿基隆港，隨著浪一波波打回岸邊。阿香經不起如此巨大打擊，終日以淚洗面。

明風的屍體從來沒被找到。接下來兩個月，國民政府在全台進行血腥鎮壓及恐怖清鄉，約兩萬名民眾遭軍隊屠殺，青壯世代傷亡猶重；而醫師、律師、教授、議員等台灣菁英，更遭大規模處決，整個世代的台灣人被集體消音……
--- 專輯歌詞本節錄 ---

噤聲的人，無聲的夢。
每個殷切期盼的背後，往往都是永盼不到一面的魂斷夢空。
紀念那些為了成就心中的台灣夢，而被噤聲的台灣人。
Crescent Lament第三張專輯 —【噤夢】，2020年12月11日，正式發行。

Crescent Lament’s third album "Land of Lost Voices" is released on December 11, 2020. A sequel to our second album, the story continues from where "Elegy for the Blossoms" left off: the unfinished romance between A-hiong and her lover, Bîng-hong. They once believed that they would not see each other again, but fate has brought them back together. They would go through the collapse of Taiwanese society in the post-WWII era, experience horrifying days that were even more miserable than wartime, and finally witness the destined tragedy of the 228 Incident.

The current music video “By the Lone Light” recounts the bereavement that A-hiong suffered, after realizing Bîng-hong has died from the indiscriminate massacre in March 1947.

(Excerpt from the lyrics booklet)…… Like all young Taiwanese of that era, Bîng-hong, who had received modern education, was passionate about Taiwan’s future. “I heard something happened at Keelung harbor, I need to check it for you and our kid,” Bîng-hong told A-hiong before he headed out on 8 March 1947. “I’ll be back in the evening—if I don’t return before nightfall, I’ll spend the night at my brother’s home at Sia Liao Island,” he said, giving A-hiong a hug as he left.

Bîng-hong never came home. The next day, A-hiong heard from neighbors that Chinese troops landed in Keelung the day before, and started shooting people with machine guns even before the vessels docked. Troops on land also shot people indiscriminately on the streets. Groups of students had their noses, ears, and genitals cut off, before being stabbed with bayonets. Those who survived were arrested by soldiers, and strung up with barbed wire through their palms and ankles. Then, they were shot in the back of their heads, and kicked into the harbor. Days later, innumerable floating bodies blocked the harbor, and piled up on the shore. A-hiong could not take it anymore, and was in tears all day.

Bîng-hong’s body was never found. In the following two months, the KMT government violently cracked down on uprisings, and purged rebels across Taiwan. Around 20,000 civilians were murdered by the troops, most of whom belonged to the young generation. Doctors, lawyers, professors, and councilors were executed in large numbers, and an entire generation was muted……(Excerpt from the lyrics booklet)

In memory of what happened in 1947, Taiwan.
Crescent Lament - Land of Lost Voices.
