lyrics

Clinging to the scriptures
Bestowed divine authority
The earth in flames beneath thy feet
With the ashes of their sin replete
Their feeble minds too weak to grasp
Their fading souls at final gasp
In tragedy fury is born
Dethrone the seed of hope forlorn

In hope forlorn… come the children of celestial scorn!

Release us from our spurious bond
Deliver us to a life beyond
An end to this immortal sanctum
Awaken us from delirium

As tyrants feast... at the world's crest
All hail to us! The cross oppressed

They falter, they succumb; into dominance they fall
An unconquerable hurdle under which no man can crawl
No quarter will be given and no mercy shall be sought
For an age devoid of empathy a new reality has been wrought

We'll suffer no resistance
From the dregs of human existence
Adorn them, gift them with chains
As slaves they were born - they remain!

They falter, they succumb; under butchery they fall
An unconquerable fervour in the justice of the maul
No quarter will be given and no mercy shall be sought
For an age devoid of empathy, a new reality has been wrought

[Solo: von Moller]

Destroy the past to dominate the future
Restore the Gods to satisfy the weak
A cautionary truth for an apocryphal order
A paradox repeats in the saga of imperishable slaughter

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
