Encroached upon a malevolent past
Through trials of rupture our offerings are lost
On the soil that nourished them
In a silence to still there hearts
Beholding a presence
Reaching through the night
Penetrating decay of ancient wrath
Choking the breath from within
Extracting the sap and vein
Stolen away from within the roots of all things living
Beneath a harmony of fog
A shadow of sentinels ascend
To crown the world with watchful eyes through rising mist
As movements of nocturnal life awakens
These centuries in silence
Of reaching into heaven
Yielding Moving To an ultimate law
They are the ghosts bearing witness to aeons of life
Crumbling from the storm of time Reborn from the germs of hope
The voice of one who cries in the wilderness
From a whisper now harrowing storm
Twisting cold iron with hands of stone and moss
Erasing the trace of Man and their dreams

Such an amazing album, these folks really know how to make such emotive, creative, and spiritual music. This is a must listen to anyone who likes atmospheric black metal and doom, as this crosses over into both. The ambient bits are such an excellent touch to build the atmosphere. Their description of playing this live is perfect, and something I yearn to witness one day! Much love❤️ Derek
