Call To Arms

The creepy smell burns my throat, rotten corpses lay still on the ground
All you've fought for was the victory, now I promise you immortality
Come back to life !
Oh, The Glorious dead, rise from your eternal beds!
You are not destined to be eaten by worms and bugs
Ride your rotting horses, trample on the deadly ground
Crimson rivers will flow in your veins, come back to life; heed my call !
Rise !
Hate is aroused by unholy blood
Thousands will stand side by side
What is already dead, cannot be killed
Where death does not exist, the glorious dead ride
Heed my call !
One by one they rise to slay and take revenge
Eyes all white, cruel and wild, spreading their plague
Endless waves of the dead will march to bring the end
You're knocking your knees together
Is this what your heaven sent?

Burn Down Their Halls

Dust covers the horizon, something shines within
Swords are forged in darkness, the eastern war machine
One by one, shrines fall, this show of strength is sin
Raiders ride so wild, the blue sky is watching
Cages are their new home, they all beg in fear
Hung men will leak red vine, foretold by the seer
Burning stones of the great steppe now hit mighty walls
Women and poor children wait for death in their halls
Tear down the walls, make way for the sons of the great steppe
Burn down their halls, make them suffer, all to be slain
Tear down the walls, make way for the sons of the great steppe
Burn down their halls and the rest will learn
How to respect their khan!

Death To Traitors
04:23
|

Tales were told for eons, you chose to betray
Lived your life in pure joy without thinking of the pain
I have warned you many times, it was about to come
Now it is time to see the lord!
One day you'll all regret, one day you'll all plea
That one god you have submitted, won't be there for your need
The cause I am dedicated to has no place for you weaklings
The walls I built do shine!
Death to traitors! Those who betray will starve at new worlds gate
Death and oblivion emerge when its too late
I rule worlds and folks, it's my destiny
The Kingdom of the great darkness will bring you on your knees
See whats coming at once, now bow down to me
Now meet your new master!
Words are spoken, at last, now it is your turn
To choose between salvation and being remains in urn
Now obey your master and embrace your new life
All of your efforts are futile!

Heavens Are Fake

I came to the end of the road, there's no one by my side
This path broke my legs, I'm on my knees blinded by the light
The words given are now nothing but a lie
I'm on my knees to see this very end of mine
Sieges, battles, for decades I've dreamed of heavens
Now see my hands filled with mud and blood
Heavens are fake, I fought my way for lies
Heavens are fake, this is how the story ends!
Heavens are fake, I have nothing in my hands
Heavens are fake, all hear me cry
Heavens are fake!

Why do I carry your burden, why did you choose me in the beginning
I'm here with nothing at hand, with mud and blood I'm fed
I came this far for nothing, what I found in your name are tears
Rats rise from martyrs corpses, trenches swallowed my dream
On my knees, I stand perished
I'm on my knees, you're dead and freed
On my knees I barely breath
The silence in my head is deafening

Awakened In The Dark
06:41
|
|||

To search for the endless light, experience is a merciless guide
Another step to rise in might, only in silence, I cried
A gift of wisdom, sacrifice your sight; as a wise one would only see at night
Tired yet determined to hold on tight
I’m awakened in the dark!
Shades of the moon bear a path to dawn
Stars are my land, darkened is my crown
The clues I seek hide in mundane, I learned I should never try to reign.
The power of the mind is hard to bear
When darkest dreams come out real, I’m tired but I put forward my heart
Here, I’m awakened in the night!
Fear! I’m awakened in the dark!

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

Russian Black Metal. This is not your usual BM for sure. It is quite often a lot slower than usual but it is no less skilful for it. In fact, this adds a whole new layer of creepiness & darkness which is most welcome! I think I need to check out their latest album! Thanks DEP! Recommended!!!
