Empyreal Burden
07:12

The world is framed
through panes of glass
with cracks and imperfections
The winter air
bleeds through and calls
my name in chilling tongues
I look upon
a barren world
Lifeless, grey, with trees like veins
My bodies, filled
With longing woe
Take me from the light
lead me to the endless night
to be consumed by the numbing wind,
no longer me,
painless,
free
Among the stars
Orion's belt
Points me towards eternity

The Carcass Crown
06:00
|
|||
|
Suffocating inhalation
sulfuric air,
acidic damnation.
like worms you writhe
in clouds you've fabricated
look to the sky
at all that you've created
Carbonic trauma,
a scar that never heals.
Go forth and weep with the annihilated
Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinction
Born from the Earth
and reclaimed by the Sun.
pray take someone else
death whispers there is no one
Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinct-ion
No prophecy
could halt
This growing blight
you saw the light
but closed
your suicidal eyes
Suffocating inhalation
writhe in clouds you've fabricated
No rain will come to wash away the pain
The gods have gone and left you for the flames
Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinct-ion
Suffocating inhalation
writhe in clouds you've fabricated
Suffocating inhalation
Die in clouds you've fabricated

Terrestrial Reclamation
06:09
|
|||
|
The Earth will be reclaimed,
not by fire, but by the rain.
All things in time will flow,
back to the place from which they came
Concrete, tar, glass, and steel,
their strength erodes and they will kneel,
long after man has gone from Earth,
to ancient forces here from the birth
Man will become the Earth
Every building ever loved
and every love that had a name,
in time will turn to soil,
that starving life, will then reclaim
And after the last memory
has been lost to time and death
life on Earth continues
and breaths another breath
Man will become the Earth
His death will bring the rebirth
The wind will sing, no requiem for man
no requiem for man

Black Cascades
04:11
|

|
Black waterfalls cascade through my mind every night I'm set adrift
upon their churning waters
To places lost and vast
Forgotten lands from long past
Endless realm of mist
where time ceases to exist
Where the weary go
to forever lay their heads
The mournful call for their dead
Every morning I lie awake and wonder
when I'll see that place,
with open eyes locked onto
The water wake
The heavens shake
like a glacier falling
into a lake if ink,
Dark waves disrupt
this bleak tranquility,
I run my fingers
across the surface plane,
and feel the chill
of melancholic pain
With eyes locked on the water wake
the heavens shake,
they're trembling
There's nothing here inside this place
Just desolation
Every morning I lie awake and wonder
when I'll, see that place.
with open eyes locked onto
The water wake
The heavens shake

Scorn The Throne
06:42
|
|||
|
Under it's spell
the candle flame
gleams across my eyes
As shadows dance
along the walls
I remain unblinking
Deep under trance
and deeper still
time comes to an end
I understand
the arcane truth
that I have never been
I am the void
My apathy
has made me naught
Angels would have cut their wings
and thrown them to the sea
Shattered their exalted thrones
just to sit beside of me
and yet I am alone
free to writhe beneath my sorrow
I'm lost, and there's no sign of light
memories, profound despair,
are in the air I breathe tonight
I'm drowning beneath the violent waves
my lungs have gorged, and now are filled
with the abyss that seeps into me now
I'm drowning
I am Naught, I am the void
Everything I was is destroyed
I am Naught, I am the void
Everything I was is destroyed
Angels would have cut their wings
and thrown them to the sea
Shattered their exalted thrones
just to sit beside of me
Shouting words of blasphemy
odium and spite.
Like a Leviathan howling
mockery at the light
and yet I am alone
free to writhe beneath my sorrow

Self-Annointed God
02:53
|
|||
|
The lungs from within the ancient mother
are cut by the infant within her vital womb
As the mother bleeds and suffocates,
her body becomes the infants tomb
A rotting mausoleum
Better had this parasite
never been conceived
this thing that eats the very life
from which it was received
Never has there been alive
one so ripe for death
Never has one arrived
so perfectly grotesque
Hail to the self anointed god
who fell upon his sword of ignorance
hail, hail, hail.
Hail to the self anointed god

The Offering
06:50
|
|||
|
The sun falls, turning everything to silhouettes,
the trees become the rafters,
holding up the sky,
cold starlight gleaming through, and my eyes are open wide
A cathedral rises from the very night itself,
and I fall onto my knees,
I lie my head down at the alter, offering
take what you want from me
take everything
Drown any air of segregation
All are composed of the decomposed
I return renewed
that which has been borrowed from you
Drown any air of segregation
All are of the decomposed
Break me down to elemental states
a fate from which there's no escape
no joy and yet there is no hate
Every facet of me blown-away,
like ashes in the wind
Drown any air of segregation
All are composed of the decomposed
Embrace me now
let me rot into the ground
I'll become soil
and I will enter your mouth
I'll nourish your roots
so you can continue to live
I'll die right here
with nothing left for me to give
I'll die right here
with nothing left for me to give

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!!
