Following the way of the river,
I reach a spring of waters black.
It is said that you can find her here,
Wandering the woods...
Sorceress of black spring,
Master of the forest...
Beguiled by her presence
And under her spell.
Dark queen of twilight,
Temptress of the fates -
I searched so long to find you
And still I wait...
At night I rest beneath the trees
And dream of things of old.
In the dusk she came to me
In the form of looming mist.
The coldness envelops me
As I feel her deathly kiss...
Sorceress of black spring,
Master of the forest...
Beguiled by her presence
And under her spell...
At break of dawn, she leaves me
And I remain here,
And feel the certain pain
I know all too well...
And still she walks
This lonesome wood.
To lure more souls
To be trapped here -
To know the pain of loss...
To feel cold and alone...
To shed the tears of longing...
To know that distance breaks the heart...
To have absolutely nothing...
To go without another...
To never trust anyone...
To live a life of woe...
To dread each minute...
To loathe oneself...
To know the anguish...
To feel the pain...
To detach entirely...
To have nothing to live for...

Vampyric Bloodlust
04:07

In distant realms obscured by fog
Is a growing evil force
Gaining power from the blood
Of the people of the earth.
Ascetic to the sanguine oath,
Night's coven now assembles
To drink the blood of sacrifice
Beneath a godless sky.
Dichotomous existence
Of death and life as one.
Night falls on all of us.
Vampyric bloodlust.
In the secrecy of dusk,
They arise from the crypt
Drink the blood of mortal men
And consume their souls.
Fangs sink into your flesh.
Blood drains from your veins.
Now your skin begins to pale.
Transformation is complete...
Dichotomous existence
Of death and life as one.
Night falls on all of us.
Vampyric bloodlust.

Under thresholds of the earth,
The roots run deep.
Grasping out for life
Like starved hands to meat.
Feeding from death
And decomposition.
What more is there
That we cannot see?
Suffocation
Amongst the roots.
A grasp so tight,
We will die here.
The plants grow tall.
Roots spread out farther.
Hungrier now than ever.
They strangle us
For what they need
Grasping out for life
From all around...
Suffocation
Amongst the roots.
A grasp so tight,
We will die here.

Delirium Of Mortality

The way it was
Is the way it is now,
And the way things shall be.
Will I ever be relinquished
From this unwaking dream?
Draw meaning from the days...
To forget in time...
Have I lived this life before?
Am I cursed to repeat?
And so I sit,
Lost in the haze of my own thoughts.
Introspective and alone,
Mesmerized by existence.
Abandoned mind...
Subconscious insight...
Becoming one with self...
And everything...
The time elapses
From point of origin.
What we become
Reveals what's hidden.
Lost in thought,
We find our way.
But just as soon,
We fade away..

Both sides are incredible in their own way. Grade A rawness from two well established powerhouses in the genre.

The first time I heard this band was off their Heir of Ecliptical Romanticism, and I remember the riffs being the highlight of the album. This album is no different. The band just has a fuller sound with better production these days. Many of their tunes here remind me of early Satyricon. The classic heavy metal influences really make those riffs stick in your brain.
