Cold air blows across the lake
Will o' wisps gather in the sky
Orbs drawn by luminous bindings
Held in eternity's grasp
But the facade begins to crack
There is nothing but yourself
And the world that surrounds you
But even that begins to fade
All must vanish..
Perish to the sands..
To return to where we come from..
To be taken by the land..
Here we stand, shackled in eternity
Gazing outwardly in desperation
Efforts feigned to understand our purpose
Doing nothing that will stand the test of time
Will o' wisps reflecting in the lake
Ephemeral glow ever looming
Across the shimmering pools of time and fate
Until that bright light fades from view
All must vanish..
Perish to the sands..
To return to where we come from..
To be taken by the land..
Cold air blows across the lake
Will o' wisps gather in the sky
Orbs drawn by luminous bindings
Held in eternity's grasp
But the facade begins to crack
There is nothing but yourself
And the world that surrounds you
But even that begins to fade
All must vanish..
Perish to the sands..
To return to where we come from..
To be taken by the land..

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. Bart

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost
