lyrics

You try to save me from what you're about to do
Claiming it is a sin, we are bound to partake
God's unwanted children, we are imperfect creatures
Purposed for the balance
We were made to witness you

Fulfilling your desire for validation
My core was sown in the field
And if I sin then my punishment is divided with the reaper

From the ashes of the great burn I was made
Searching for truth in the voiceless vale
You have deceived us with your promise of salvation
Your words wither like tears in the frozen wind

We are trapped in the loop, pleading for freedom
Incarcerated by your empty thoughts, forlorn in the yearning
Seeking a shapeless power, if my reality is twisted in the absence of observation
How can I believe in your myths of a heaven?

Crushed by the sudden impact, a meteoric strike
Confounded in the void, a plane of catastrophe and emptiness
Torn asunder by this forsaken hopelessness
By the great betrayal we were taught humanity
You took away our natural place
Extinguished our burning need for catharsis
You left us waiting, needing, feeling heartache, grieving all for nothing.

Some of the most incredible black metal I've heard, both amazingly creative while surprisingly traditional. Normally I'm not a fan of putting acoustic songs in metal albums, but in this case they are just too beautiful to do without. ganondox
