lyrics

Euphoria, morning light
The bleak splendours of thine
Thy rotten charms so beautious,
Appealing, yet so malign
Vague figures, contourless shapes
Motley shades of pallid grey
Voices that I can behold
Visions that call my name

Eidolons transcending
Reforming into flesh
Ominous glints of the inbetween
The envoys, they approach!
Featherless fowls
Swarming ‘cross the air
Ambassadors of all maladies
Wafting forth famine and plague

Crossing the fatal threshold
Entering corridors unknown
Absorbing its mysteries
The maze - it breathes!
Come now and devoid me
From the scoria of reason
Impregnate life with the seed of Death
Abandoning the laws of yore

Imbue me, Lord Satan!
Make this flesh thy shadow
Convulse! Conflagrate!
The black flame most sublime
Revealing its clandest' glory
Darkness divine
Clairvoyance - unlidded eye
The Grail at the End

Surefootedly I lift up to step forth ahead
Unfathomed nooks foreshadowed albeit unseen

For I have tasted of sin
Peered of the forbidden
Stripped of its masque
Beholding back at me

With an unblinking eye
The very fountain of all fears
Gruesome dreams they reach out their hands
...to strangle!

For when I hear Thy call...
I know Thy Voice

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
