lyrics

Here, fog wanders warily.
Here, moonlight falls too thin,
and the choirs quiet throat and night-announcing limb
at the squat, dilapidated affront their murk therein.

“I
pry wide a path
for this blood more light, more life than that
belying messiah could provide.
Such hollow hands...”

And hence the floorboards gored with that ambition's lurid bark,
but more, the countless eyes felt staring from the dark.

What necrophagous plot contradicts the dead necessitated by glory?
...no less that throng’s transcendence involuntary!

For a majesty bidding no knee,
no horror'd lash too deep...
And the forest's taloned rafters still hold
the Hell born on the perishing's weep.

“I
slew and strewed these sons and daughters,
my hands' red weight evidencing the wage
I should attain in state on high...but come
no wingèd attendants! No
gouts of power recompensing sin-slaked veins!
Just dark!—the shift inside the shadows atop
what ought to be lifeless remains...”

~I am the ill intent
who set upon the traveler on a road
that he should not have been on.~

And caterwauled that sunken hovel the last
refrain from out its hoarsened chorus, curse complete
in tongue that lolled in glossolalia pleading relief
from each stoven-faced pubescent reaching out for his feet.

I got this because I love un-black metal and I'm pretty much impartial when it comes to pay what you want, but these are all quality. and yeah I'm gonna talk about it. First time I heard horde... I didn't understand... like who wants to listen to pure static. relax, I get it now. however if you're like I was and are scared to dive headfirst into the static vibe, these covers are pretty crisp.
