Light shine down
I'm for thy bidding
Lay upon me
Your requisition
Leave your hands be
Taint the ones I bear
I shall run your blood
Through the River Styx
I grant thee with the knowledge
Of your forefather's failures
To pass down the truth
To the kin of your kin
That path that you lead down
Is no more of fear
The cloak of uncertainty ablazed
Forever burning, nevermore blinded
Eden poisoned
Sodom sentenced
Babylon crumbled
Alexandria ashened
Egypt plagued
Rome enflamed
Vesuvius erupted
I covet the blade of fire
Psychedelic flourishes, technical prowess, time signature upon time signature changes, and FULL of atmosphere! Top 5 2021 AOTY for me and definitely one of the greatest metal records of the 2020s. AGON
This has been one of the most beautiful records that I have ever listened to. The entire album is just supremely fantastic in its tone, mood, musicality, everything single thing about it. AGON
Beautifully crafted avant-garde black metal of the highest caliber with such poignant lyrics on our human constraints under oppressive styles of architecture. 2022 Metal AOTY AGON
