THUS FAR AND NO FURTHER:
ONE SKYSCRAPER SETS THE LIMIT
THE ELEVATOR'S CROWDED
SICK WITH FUCKING STARVING
FRAGMENTED MONOLITH
NO ONE CAN SEE ITS ENTIRETY
TANGLED ROOTS AND RUSTING STEEL
HIDDEN WATCHERS PEER DOWN ON ME
WHEN WILL THESE TOWERS FALL?
THEY WILL BE HERE LONG AFTER US
POWER FLOWS TO WICKEDNESS
CAN WE INTERCEPT AND REMAIN UNCHANGED?

WE’RE EXHAUSTED BY THE DAYS,
WE’RE WHEEZING THROUGH THE NIGHTS.
OUR DUTY IS TO PASS WITHOUT A TRACE,
PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.
THESE GRAVES ARE HIDDEN,
NOT SURROUNDED BY PLASTIC MOUNTAINS,
SMALL FOOTSTONES SLOWLY CARPETED BY ASH,
BECOMING STARRY WITH SOOT AS HISTORY BURNS AWAY.
BEFORE YOUR NERVES RELATE THE NOOSE AROUND YOUR NECK,
A QUIET DEATH LEAVES YOU SCATTERED BETWEEN THE ROOTS.
BLOOD SOAKING INTO LEAVES AND DUST,
A QUIET DEATH LEAVES NOTHING ETERNAL BEHIND.
WHO WOULD FORCE AN HEIR,
WHEN THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM ARE LOST?
LET THEM TARNISH AND DISSOLVE.
NO ONE TO KNOW, NO REASON TO CARE,
THESE GRAVES ARE MENTAL,
PLACEHOLDERS WHERE LIFE NEVER EXISTED.
A PSYCHIC TOTEM RECEIVES YOUR SUFFERING.
AVOID ANOTHER NEEDLESS ENTRANCE INTO A WORTHLESS WORLD!

FROM A ROOM
IN THE CLOUDS
BEHIND A BLANK FACE
HUNGER GROWS
THE WORLD EATER BLOATS
STRANGLING ITS NEIGHBORS
FLESH WITHOUT END
UNQUALIFIED WHOLENESS
NO MORE PAIN
ALL SWELLS JOY
BURSTING WITH COMFORT
STILL HUNGER GROWS
NO DESIRE
BUT FOR DESIRE
MOURNING QUENCHING,
SLAKING BLISS

EYES ON THE ARK

|
GLAZED OVER FROM WHISKEY AND MALICE
THE LEYDEN JAR OF HOPELESS DESOLATION
PEELING LIKE SUNBURN
SLOUGHING LIKE HOPE
AS WE PRAY
-EYES ON THE ARK
DRIPPING DOWN
ONTO CLAW AND TOOTH
FEAST YOUR EYES
ON THE HOLY TRUTH
NOW FORSWEAR
YOUR ONE-TIME PRAYER
OF BLIND ANNIHILATION
ABLATION
VEILED IN SILK, GILDED IN GOLD
THE GLORY OF THE VOID OBLITERATES US
REJOICING AND SOBER
LAUGHING INSANE
ALL IS NOW UNSEEN
-EYES ON THE ARK

THE GLEANERS
06:05
|

THEY SET INTO ACTION
A PLAN TO EXTRACT
WHATEVER THEY CAN GET
WITHOUT A COMPLAINT.
IGNORE THIS QUIET, MUFFLED WAR
ALL UNIQUE, ALL DISTINCT
ALL SEEING, ALL UNDERSTANDING
ALL SEETHING, ALL BLUNDERING
OUR CONSCIOUSNESS BETRAYED US
CROP CIRCLES
THEY ARE THE GLEANERS
WE ARE THE CHAFF
SOON A MAN WILL SET INTO ACTION
A PLAN TO EJECT
BUT AWAY FROM US
HE WILL LIVE OUT HIS USELESSNESS
IN A QUIET, MUFFLED UNIVERSE

VIOLENTLY PULLED FROM BLISS
TO SATISFY SELFISH REQUIREMENTS
A MIRROR IMAGE WHICH NOW DECAYS
MOST WILL HAVE THEIR OWN ONE DAY
I WAS ONCE NONEXISTENT
JOINED WITH THE INFINITE
PULLED FROM BLISS
WE WERE JUST POSSIBILITIES
SWIMMING IN OBSIDIAN SEAS
UNTIL WE WERE PLUCKED WITH NEWFOUND SIGHT
NOW SURVEILLING OUR ABYSMAL LIVES
EONS FROM OUR SIGHTLESS PAST
GIVEN A BODY WHICH WILL NOT LAST
I WAS ONCE NONEXISTENT
JOINED WITH THE INFINITE
SPATIALLY FLAT AND UNEXPOSED
NO INNER VOICE OR INSISTENT EGO
EONS FROM OUR SIGHTLESS PAST
GIVEN A BODY WHICH WILL NOT LAST

DEEP EVERGREEN FOREST
DANCING LIGHTS
FIND A RESTING PLACE
A BED AMONG THE NEEDLES
WHERE I CAN DECAY
NIGHT FALLS QUICKLY
SWAMP GAS FILLS THE AIR
GLIMPSE THE MONSTERS
WHERE THEY BURROW, UNTIL THEY DISAPPEAR
I WILL BECOME THE MOLD
I WILL BE CLOAKED BY THE PINES
SCORCHED BY SULFUR
WHICH OVERWHELMS MY HEAD
I WILL BECOME THE MOLD
I WILL BE CLOAKED BY THE PINES
BLIGHTED AND LIGHTHEADED
VERTIGO KNEADS US INTO
AN ABSTRACT PORTRAIT OF THE
TERRESTRIAL AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL, TOO

When an album achieves such a beautiful symbiosis between the message conveyed, the values defended and a RABM that is both powerful and melodic...we can only be won over. Long live the fight against fascism !

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well!

Altäre der Vergänglichkeit

Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody.
