lyrics
Once more it has returned, broken light surrounds the land
An enemy of greater proportions
I am the lone watcher at my post sent to guard the tower; I hold the light
I shall bring forth a reaping to alter the entire timeline
Mass eradication forthcoming, I devour the essence of life
Now, the fog blending with the darkness slowly slithering in
It reaches the gates, but the watcher doesn’t see
He will pay for his mistakes, it will decide his fate
I feel something entering me: a blackened, chilling gloom
Lost with no eyes to see, whispers surround me
Looking glass, corrupt past, tell me what you won’t show
This town has no more hope
What of my legacy? Walking a lone path
Looking back, nothing left, empty steps towards my home
I am no more
Look at me, do you see this decay killing me?
Withering away, I cannot escape
Give into the pain, death keeps me sane
All the barriers of hope have fallen, taken by the fog that comes at night
This lonely tower has me bound
I shall bring forth a reaping to alter the entire timeline
Mass eradication forthcoming, I devour the essence of life
Now I know that I've failed
My desperate visions seek an answer
for the drowning minds of those
I've sworn to give my life to protect.
But in a way I know I could never keep those from harm
When death takes a form of blackened distortion
I feel the sea's fog deep within me
A blackened, chilling gloom
Lost with no eyes to see, whispers surround me
Looking glass, corrupt past, tell me what you won’t show
This town has no more hope
What of my legacy? Walking a lone path
Looking back, nothing left, empty steps towards my home
Beautiful isn't an adjective normally usable for black metal, but here we are. I swear I didn't cry at The Beauty of the Withering Flower...... Seriously though, this is amazingly atmospheric, awesome, and sad throughout this journey of an album. jojobinx
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
