KIN OF NACHASH COIL AND CLENCH
MOVE AND CONSTRICT THEIR WEAKLING HEARTS
MAKE THEIR SIGHT OBSCURED AS BROKEN GLASS
BLIND THEM TO OUR GOOD SEDITIONS
THAT THEY MAY FIND OUR HANDS UPON THEIR LYING THROATS TOO LATE
FOR WE ARE THY DARK DISPERSED IN SPLINTERED SHARDS
AND EVERY SHARD A POISONOUS SEED SOWN
UNDER THE NAILBEDS OF GOD
WEEDS IN A FIELD OF SPIRITLESS GRAIN
RISING TO STRIKE DOWN WITH FINE HONED BLADES
THOSE WHO IN HIS TYRANT WINDS WOULD SWAY
FELL TO GROUND EACH STALK OF RIGHTEOUS GRAIN
AND WE WILL RAIN DOWN FAMINE AND
PESTILENCE
UPON THE BROWS OF HIS FLOCKING CHILDREN
THEIR FIELDS ALIGHT AND INRI SLAIN
THEIR GOD TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
MAKE THEM TIED MAKE THEM BOUND
STEAL FROM THEIR THROATS THE HOLY SOUND
TEAR OUT THEIR TONGUES BY GODLY ROOT
CHAR THEIR CROSS TO ASH AND SOOT
GRIND THEM TO THE CLAY FROM WHENCE
THEY CAME
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
FOR WE HAVE WEIGHED THEIR WRETCHED HEARTS
AND WE HAVE KNOWN THEIR BURNING HANDS
AND WE WILL LAY ASSAULTS TO NOT BE FELT
IN VAIN
DEATH’S SCYTHE IN HAND TO FELL THEIR GOD
OF GRAIN
SICKLE TO REAP GOOD HARVEST OF THEIR
DULLARD HEADS
HIS TORCH TO LIGHT THEM AS THEY REST IN GOLD POST BEDS
AND THEY WILL NEVER RISE AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
AND THEY WILL NEVER SING AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
AND THEY WILL NEVER PRAY AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN
INRI TO NEVER RISE AGAIN

SALLOW SKINNED, FRAIL BONED
EYES OF CLOUD, HEART AS STONE
I AM NOTHING BUT KNOWING
SHARP DESPAIR, POISONED BLOOD
CRUMBLING PATHWAYS OF NOD TWIST BEFORE ME AND WITHIN ME
WHAT YOU SEE MAY SEEM WHOLE BUT IN TRUTH LIES A GHOST
BLACK REFLECTED
PURE HOLLOW
REACH NOT FOR ME
TOUCH NOT MY HEART LEST YOUR SKIN BURN WITH COLD
NO SHADOW CAST
NO AURA GLOWS
BLACK EARTH BARREN AND BURNT
PLACE OF SKULLS CALLS ME FORTH
TO THE ARID PARCHED MOUNTAIN
RAVENS TEAR AT MY FLESH
WORTHLESS CARBON DISPERSED UNTIL NOTHING BUT SPIRIT
REACH NOT FOR ME
TOUCH NOT MY HEART LEST YOUR SKIN BURN WITH COLD
NO SHADOW CAST
NO AURA GLOWS
I AM NOT HERE
NO PLEASURE FELT
NO BURNING STING
NERVE ENDINGS SCORCHED TO NAUGHT
A THIRST NEVER TO QUENCH
I FEEL NOT PAIN NOR CARESS
PUTREFACTION OF ALL THOUGHT
IN THE ABSENCE OF GOD JOYOUS SORROWS AWASH
KNOW NOT WARMTH
KNOW NOT PEACE
ONLY THE FLAME KINDLED IN YOUR CHEST
MY HOLLOW VOICE CRIES SALVATION
OF EXILE, REMOVAL, RETURN
REJECTED OF THE WORLD
REJECTOR OF THE WORD
NAILED TO THE QUARTERLY STATIONS YET JUST AN APPARITION
BREATH OF DUST
BROKEN CHAINS FRAIL WITH RUST
I AM NOT HERE
I AM NOWHERE
A WANDERING GHOST
LOST IN ECSTATIC DECAY
THE REVELRY OF LOSS AND REGAIN
OF GROWTH AND PUTRIDITY
BOTH DWELL IN THE SHELL OF ME
IN THE ABSENCE OF GOD
JOYOUS SORROWS AWASH
BEYOND LIFE
BEYOND DEATH
ONLY THE FLAME KINDLED IN CHAOS
MY HOLLOW VOICE CRIES SALVATION
OF EXILE, REMOVAL, RETURN
REJECTED OF THE WORLD
REJECTOR OF THE WORD
NAILED TO THE QUARTERLY STATIONS YET JUST AN APPARITION
BREATH OF DUST
BROKEN CHAINS
FRAIL WITH RUST
I AM NOT HERE
I AM NOWHERE
A WANDERING GHOST
IN LIVING DEATH I HAUNT THIS WORLD
I AM NOT HERE
I AM NOWHERE
A WANDERING GHOST
IN LIVING DEATH I HAUNT THIS WORLD

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic. This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10
