lyrics

Embellish God’s beauty with Insolence.
I woke up hurling my body upon the mud, no different from the Dogs you see.
I scour through the day, setting myself on fire, looking for that honest man.
Begging for raw meat, even though I am willing & capable to hunt, to kill.
Still I seek for that honest man. The virtues of suffering & anxiety.
I disposed my drink immediately as my eyes witness that child, indulging from the trough.

Illuminated, the immaculate shine & blooming decree, it caresses me with its unnerving sincerity.

“Alexander, son of The King. Move away!”
I affronted him as he interfered with the light & shine from my Sun.
The flames from my lantern fails to provide me with my destiny.
Royalty he is, an Honest man he isn’t.

I buried my hands deep within the earth, the human remains.
Thus, digging like a Dog searching for its prize.
Alas, I ended my search.
For I am able to distinguish the bones of The King from those of his slaves!

Behold, what joy it brings, for my destiny lives within me.
An ineffable glory as my life begins with death, discordant of all death ending.

“Death cannot harm me more than you have harmed me, my beloved life.” – Louise Glück, Averno.

This is their most black metal sounding album. Later albums started to sound like modern metal or with hints of djent influence. Great debut by the band. I love Dark Souls and black metal, so this is great! Sid
