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

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
