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
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
