i haunt the white plains of hell
and they speak not of truce
what becomes of the world
when my death is the truth?
justifying your orders
as if life was a lie
to be blessed with defeat
medals for which one would die
well i must accept
what have i left, of hope bereft?
the pain
of my frozen soul so far from home
fuck it’s cold
this war of wills brought nought but ills
forgotten
on the steppes of war, forevermore
oh how i desire to hold you
my hands know but steel
and as blood turn to rust
means this nightmare is real
i’d been clasping your picture
when darkness it came
erasing your face,
from my mind fled your name
here i lie again
broken by cold, hard hand of fate
my warm, fluid innocence invades the ice
with unavailing fervour
is my spirit by flesh betrayed
and in the wake of ruin
beckoned the temple to abscond
but what caliber of man besieged
would submit to such ungodly defeat?
nay, lest the skies in hunger descend
bow shall i not!
raging against the great beast
rend the world in twain
divine total peace
screaming ghosts of my past
bless your shattered face
with the tears i shed
anointing the blades of revenge
with the life i piss
in the face of death
This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
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
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
