lyrics
Choke in the dense cloak of smoke, discharged from propagandists' rostral cloacas' croak.
Demise of civilized paradise – in one formula devised: pledges plus lies...
hatched and etched to perfection by unmatched puppet masters smiling: „no strings attached“.
Shrill whistles shriek – silenced by shills – crashed into those bloodied mouths of eminent will.
Defend those vilified heroes! Still unbowed and unbent. J'accuse! Your lies offend!
Those inept charges bore! On the exposed sore horror now salty slander you pour.
Wheels within wheels, snakes encoiling snakes, scars beneath further scars.
This world decays in woe under the shimmer of secluded stoic stars.
Hark! Sovereign serpents spitting septic sermons and the nescient herd wants more.
The marble staircase of the temple darkened with their sacrificial gore.
Gloom has set, somber as a tomb. Scarily scarce are landmarks in this eerie doom.
Fact trumped by affect, clamor and glamour. Thirsting for truth, our lips parched and cracked.
Wallow in hollow myth. Swallow their filth or fist. Their pointing claw -yours to follow!
Placid promise of Death!
Reclaim the borrowed breath!
Rest your brow -cede your limb –
through Him, with Him in Him!
Wheels within wheels, snakes encoiling snakes, scars beneath further scars.
This world decays in woe under the shimmer of secluded stoic stars.
Hark! Sovereign serpents spitting septic sermons and the nescient herd wants more.
The marble staircase of the temple darkened with their sacrificial gore.
Fire makes you see further and higher or blind and burn you: beacon or pyre?
Night brightens the flame! Under pitch black skies -akin to kindling –now fiercely ignite!
Wake! Make no mistake –light the resin of reason –everyone, everything's at stake.
Placid promise of Death!
Reclaim the borrowed breath!
Rest your brow -cede your limb –
through Him, with Him in Him!
Subscribe to your brittle gods! My release -your dread: death speaks an oath you cannot bribe.
Hide! Just try! As we charge with the looming anterograde shadow at our side.
Fierce of heart as the fear clears -hear the defiant cheers! Tear the veils and veil the tears.
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
I’m glad I got that code for this from KillingForCompany. I like what I hear from this band. Will definitely get more albums from this band. Ryan "Demon Master Reviews" Arnold
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
