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!! sachavonkarl74
