Mankind in concrete buried
Enslavement underground
For centuries forgotten
Mechanization-bound
Terra's surface healed
The war’s expired past
Resurrected, thriving fields
The fruit of greed aghast
The penultimate truth… A lie!
Despotic victors reign supreme
To keep synthetic dreams… alive
A murderous regime to guarantee
Ersatz equality for all... to survive
[Solo: von Moller]
Subterrestrial masses fed by demagogues above
With tales of deadly gases
Nothing left of the world beloved
Isolated lands, forsaken cities
In the gaze of palaces and covetous committees
Now rise, now rise! Let the sun blind your eyes
Escape from your caskets and cells
Gamble your lives, unveil their crooked disguise
Revolt! Arise! Arise!
Bring us the heads of their prophets
Serve us their spirits in tatters
The ultimate deceit
Their banishment complete
To vengeance and to terror
The price of human error
Bring us the heads of their prophets
Settle our debts with their blood

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
