THE BLACK HOLE OF THE SOUL
You soaked my eyes in tainted coal
Scorching the sensory barriers
And new realities were born
In the great horrors you offered
And in the blindness
Another clarity was torched
Awe-struck, I swallowed the flame
That which burns every status-quo
You quenched my thirst with rotten wine
Drank from my every blood-sacrifice
And new veins were born
Channels leading to naught but hell
Each drop reduced my taste
And I could sense the ripe, forbidden fruit
Awe-struck, I recited each word
Those that burn every stagnant movement
Yet you crippled my tongue
Choking each and every word
And you reaped my aural perception
Harvesting the crops of distorted noise
Bereft of ways to communicate
I learned the ethos of silence
And in the silence, the voice of the void resounded
The purest music I had ever heard
And you took on a new form
Wandering right beside me
On the road to the great dead end
Where the accuser of the brethren abides
The black hole of the soul

ALL IS VANITY
The void bids me welcome
I gaze down the depth of the abyss
Choked by threads of human flesh
And drenched in blood from the altar of slaughter
Am I about to fall
Or throw myself deliberately therein
In command of the imminent death
The conflict mirrors sheer tortures of the damned
Devoid of God
Man is condemned to be free
A vulgar display of the absurd
A futile hunt for clarity
In which my breath is confined
And my hands are tied
So I suffocate
In deep frustration
I offered my soul
A two-part drama did unfold
A time to bring forth and a time to die
But mostly to die
And my breath is confined
And my hands are tied
So I suffocate
For nothing is gained
Under the sun
Vanity of vanities
All is vanity
Omnia vanitas

DISSOLUTION
Blindly we strive
Behind the veil of illusion
Fooled by the shining
Twisted shapes of light
In simple denial
Of the shadow within
And of the revelation
That the shadow may bring
Withdraw
From this world of disease
Enter the fire
Become the torch of illumination
From suffering comes the insight
Follow the voice from below
From suffering comes the insight
Embrace the inferno
Withdraw
From this world of disease
Enter the fire
Become the torch of illumination
Burn and perish
A cleanse in flames of revival
You will not rise anew
Before turning into ashes
Descend into the darkness
Erase the conception of the I
Transcend into dust again
Eradicate, reform and ascend
Descend into the darkness
Erase the conception of the I
Transcend into dust again
Reform and ascend

INVERTED TORCH
Children of the dark night
Dwellers of the deep
The glowing sun never looked upon us
No point of reference to perceive
As we plunged into the alluring void
To explore the vibrant beacon
Replacing blindness with brilliancy
From the burning pits of sulphur
For this is the testing
These fires of purgation
That incinerate the human
And liberate the on true god
Hear me, O Death
Whose empire unconfined
Cloaks the existence of every breathing kind
On thee, the fortune of our futile time depends
Thy absence perpetuates life
Thy presence it ends
for none escapes thy all-destructive rage
We walk upon the final path
In-between the broken columns
The torch is turned, sheds a last dim light
Of no hope, but premonition
As we empty the cup of life
Shed our skins and scorch the earth
With fetters unbroken
We return again to what we once were
And with hearts of iron
Spirits fierce as bronze
The slaves become the masters
Those who command
Those who will not serve
Hear me, O Death
Whose empire unconfined
Cloaks the existence of every breathing kind
In thee, the demise of creations work’s known
And all judgement absolved alone
Now hear me, O Lord
Whose empire unconfined
Cloaks the existence of every breathing kind
On thee, the fortune of our futile time depends
Thy absence perpetuates life
Thy presence it ends

THE SWORN ENEMY
He can not subsist on the meager satisfaction
He extorts from bleak reality
He must seek the uttermost distraction
The murder and abolishment of mediocrity
Of his creation, this universe
Is merely a faint and paling shadow
For a man is what he sees
And his eyes are blazing with fire
He will not reason, his principles carved in stone
He found his purpose apart from common decree
He will commend the brute usurper of the throne
The potent force coming to ravage the static and weak
Doomsayer
Tongue sharp like a dagger
In a state on the brink of madness
Soothsayer
Spitting words like deadly arrows
Piercing a target very few can see
He is prepared for the massive collapse
He will hail the bloodshed and the disease
And he will wander into the heart of darkness
Bound for salvation, for there is no return
He has broken all barriers and cracked the shell
The vengeful grin on his face was the last bid of farewell
Of his creation, this universe
Is merely a faint and paling shadow
For a man is what he sees
And his eyes are blazing with fire

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!
