The sky!
Fills with radiant bursts of death
Perilous night!
Of matters we can not understand
Glorious light!
Guide us on your omnipotent path
-
They fly!
Blaze of light ignite the sky
Holy curse!
Time's end is now at hand
Astral hearse!
The horseman four proclaim god’s wrath
-
Gather ye faithful,
Look to the sky.
An empyrean blaze,
A celestial fire.
-
The stars of Heaven
Fall to the Earth.
Foretold by John
Revelation’s Birth.
The wicked shall flee
before His Advent.
Before our eyes
they shall be rent.
-
If we do not mind
These signs from on high.
As sure as we live
We’ll Eternally Die.
-
...give in to your Desire
...wade through the Muck and the Mire
...this task of yours shall sire
...your eternal Souls…. funeral pyre!
-
Now the torches and rifles and swords will taste the heathen flesh
The crimson elixir it fuels our cause
-
Sever the heads cut out the beating hearts and bless the soil
Your kind will offend our Lord no more.
-
Sink the daggers in organs and crush the pitiful pagan scourge
We have cleansed ourselves of mortal flaws
Castrate the weakling flesh and cut and draw the worthless corpse
A choir of angels sing heavenly score
-
Immolation!
Your time is nigh
Burnt to the ground
Removed from our sight
-
Invocation!
A portent of doom
The eternal fight
Ends with your tomb
-
Destruction!
The sinful must die
Gather your swords
For glory we fight
-
Resurrection!
Succumb to the light
It is his will
This is our night
Open up the gates
Move forth into the fields
Enter the darkness, and the shade of night
Fulfill the holy purpose of god.
so do not mistake these

Onward!
Release the lands from heathen’s grasp
By the dawn the prophecy it will be met
May the lord bless this mission as we carry forth
The heathen blood will sully this land nevermore
-
Ashes!
Raze the thatch and cure the land
Curse the false gods and those that worship them
Your children were born unto this heresy
Their blood shall render us forever free.
-
Father Hear our Prayer
Deliver us from despair
We’ll heed thy final call
Oh, Heaven help us all.
-
And now the deed is done
In the name of thy Holy Son
We’ve passed your final test
And laid thy foes to...
-
REST!
Laid their camp to ruin, slaughtered them all, and smashed their idols profane!
The young, the old, the women and children,
all of them were slain!
-
We’ve Celebrated far too soon
Under falling stars and a pale moon
How Quickly Fortunes can turn
-
Gaze upon the hilltop
The wretched return

Black waves from heaven,
Helpless cries
Embers remain
Fanatical believers condemn you to die
-
But blood begets blood tonight,
An accursed allegiance of men born of the flame
-
Crows come shrieking
Air breathes rust
Hills stained red
Our Families lie broken and bleeding in the dust
-
May your souls find no home in heaven,
And your bones be spit from the earth
-
This cancerous creed
beyond repentance,
Shall be expelled
From this land now and forevermore!
Hear their cries
Dying breaths
Broken on the soil
-
Ravens pick
at the eyes
of the sinful dead
-
Blood seeps
through the ground
Sacrifice to drought
-
Bones jut forth
In the sun
Exposed by righteous hand
-
Death rattle
Falls adrift
In the painted dust
-
We met our foe in battle
Our Souls on the line
The horsemen in the saddle
We are pressed for time.
So few are left now,
the smoke trails rising
They dance with the stars,
Behold our ashen offering.-
-
The groaning stops
Only the chieftain remains
-
The lifeless entrails
Heathen decay
-
They will have no peace
Forever they will burn
-
Let their bodies rot
The maggots shall feast
-
Last one alive,
one more to slay,
and all of my faithful are spent.
-
It cannot be so to suffer any to live,
each and every last one be rent.
Their leader is wounded,
blind in one eye,
with several holes in his flesh.
-
So I take up his axe,
and swing it on down,
right into his heart!
-
...in his chest
-
No More Certainty
No More Sanctity
No More Humanity

Alone I walk, as if in a daze.
My mind uneasy and filled with haze.
Body broken, and bleeding out.
...a soul filled with doubt.
-
I feel emptiness, not joy.
I walk through shadowed woods,
not Elysian Fields .
When shall the darkness yield?
Was it all the Fallen’s ploy?
-
I can see it now,
the path that lies
before me.
-
I can feel it now
a great unease
a heart that bleeds
-
Behold! I survive! Just one man...
The savage blood, covers the land
Still the heavens rain, and all I feel is pain.
So many have died, I remain yet am dead inside.
Look! Up towards the sky
At His heavenly
Might! Gaze upon the light!
Has our Lord arrived?
-
Show! Mercy upon our souls
Your servants
Beg! Forgiveness and a path
to your holy
-
Light! We served your will
Divine laws fulfilled
Our! Offer in vain
awaiting judgement in shame
-
As the light begins to fade
And the darkness beckons
Burning alive in this hell we’ve made
Too late we learn the lesson

Such a solid and unique offering thats been on repeat since purchased. Dark and pummeling with moments of light. Not a bad track on this album. You can be heavy AND catchy which this proves in spades. I love this band!! Thanks for the tip off by old Jackson from Into the Necrosphere podcast!!

È un album stupendo! Ci vediamo al prossimo.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
