1. | The Last Relic of Axen | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
The cosmos is a mindless vortex A seething ocean of blind forces In which the greatest joy is unconsciousness And the greatest pain realisation" Still, darkness torments me As I’m engulfed by light No thing beneath me But the all-consuming sea Death smells familiar And its fumes ignite my eyes Still, I see nothing As I fall to my demise "For what does it matter Whether we suffer or not? Our feelings are The most trivial of incidents In the unending cycle Of existence. |

3. | Wormwood | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
All the trivial pleasures of Erthe Are but bile and bitter venom When all has darkened Hatred’s light shall guide me The torrid winds of my home No longer warm my flesh I turn my gaze to the sea To my forgotten enemy The weight of prophecy No longer burdens me I save my strength To be reborn Behind me is that world of Ash The cold air shortens my breath Winters Spirits grow stronger As I draw near I hope my death Absolves me of my wrongs I hope, I hope it is cold I hope, I hope it hurts And as my life is ripped away I hope I try to hold on I go alone Into Erthe’s frozen womb The weight, the weight of the cold Is too much, Too much to bear I hope it’s cold I hope it hurts As Wormwood fell Into the sea I became Nobody Though tales are told Of the cold No one knows How it feels |

4. | Incultus | 08:31 | Show lyrics |
Cursed be thy name The outcast one; companionless. Who by his will betrayed His beautiful creation. It is unspoken And he is resolute He is broken He will not say If he’s the enemy He is no one His mind will rot And crows will tear his flesh Live long, feel naught When given life He found a way to die He is no one So here’s your land; This Barren Erthe. Both thorn and thistle shall it grow for you. And though you’ll eat of it, It never satisfies. And you will curse its name! Incultus! |

2. | Blessed He with Boils | 07:29 | Show lyrics |
Marked for death and horribly maimed I’ve suffered its pains, yet rightwise claimed This holy throne atop the Erthe; All shall witness a new god’s birth "Blasphemer, deceiver A perfect fool" I shall nobly rule "Whose lies entrance" This northern expanse Believe! This holy land belongs to me The crown of kings upon my head Proclaims my royalty. Accept my gift And grovel at my knees Arise! Monuments to my reign One thousand years of faceless gods Replaced by fire and steel Consume! And let our might be known The feeble kings of Erthe and Axen Are but flesh and bone Man, who is Erthwile born Who longs, who tries, who is Full of strife How frail is life! And mine is but a breath A hopeless Thought "Who is empty, Faithless, embittered And capable of anything Inconquerable Yet full of woe" So I extend my reach Upon riches Unfit for unseen gods And disperse them to my sons My body is covered with maggots and scabs My skin, is faded, cracked and dry And still they proclaim "Blasphemer, deceiver" A thief they say But I have suffered And I have paid "All this was Long ago. Reap what you sew: Erthe and Axen, Flesh and bone" Marked for death No sense but a pulse Neath my fading breath I’ll bear the weight Chains of my past so full of hate "King of Erthe" How frail is life "Dust and Ash" How full of strife "Like aeons past" And when I die "Your disease shall never last" Never again shall I arise "All this was" A thief they say "Long ago" To dead gods they pray "Reap what you sew" I have suffered "Erthe and Axen, flesh and bone" I have paid |

3. | Winter’s End | 05:01 | Show lyrics |
Words were writ Long ago Darkness would claim my throne Crushing weight Bearing down Life traded for a crown Light reveals Fertile soil Stone laid by kings of old Winter’s end Melting snow Still I can feel the cold Ashes rain from skies And smother Erthen fire My soul is ever weakened By winter’s cruel disease |

4. | Long Live Our Lifeless King | 08:57 | Show lyrics |
Do not reject me If I should not continue on Then let me freeze Freeze again to death If she will receive me Then through these gates I must proceed Erthe’s very womb From whence all were born I taste the stench of death My sight grows sharp My breath is steady He hides behind Monuments to progress "Lights that blind" Hail! to the Thane of Thule! Born of ashes, born to rule! "We exalt your glory" And bring from afar riches and Offerings fit for a king (You are no king) Hail! To a foolish boy Whose Relicry is but a ploy "Who is falsely burdened" With the charge of an absent god You so brutally wronged Brother, relinquish your crown (Your time has come) I have earned the right I have sacrificed Years of my life My dignity and my pride To bring man erthly light I come to bear witness Iron pillars will turn to Ashes as you fall Not with splendor But with a sigh You think you have suffered? I’ve endured things far worse than pain, I’ll make you taste Death How easily he fell A hollow empty shell: Behold your lifeless King! |

5. | Deus Absconditus: Part I | 04:00 | Show lyrics |
Sino me vivere, O, carnifex magnus Let me live! O great tormentor! For my life is but a passing shadow My eyes are unable to see What light may lie beyond this life Let me make our brief and tortured lives Seem beautiful and grand For soon we will turn to dust You will look upon this Erthe And we will be gone God of Ashes, King of Erthe Given to a strange rebirth Every man shall to him sing: "Xanthochroid, our rightful King" Deus Absconditus God who is hidden from man We, disciples of the north Bring this vile carcass forth No one comforts as he weeps Simply drifting off to sleep |
|||
6. | Deus Absconditus: Part II | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
And as I watched him writhe in pain I felt that familiar horror; Struggling to breath and console my fear, I realized once again The true nature of existence. That awful reality I’ve tried to forget Since I was young. “Deus Absconditus” The eternal void that awaits us all, “God who is hidden from man” Whether Erthwile bound or a Relic like me; The infinite measure of time and space Captures each of us for all eternity. “Deus Absconditus” No one knows what lies beyond, “God who is hidden from man” But it matters not to me Whether it is a neverending paradise, A burning pit of fire, Or a void of non-existence. Whatever horrors or pleasures Await us after this life Will never eclipse the cold chill Of time’s endless decay. |

7. | The Leper’s Prospect | 05:51 | Show lyrics |
Cold winds Sting my coarse and blistered skin Making my return To a vain veil of time Dead dreams Shadows cry out desparately Can you not remember Your lost son’s name? Why should I persist? Wrap me up in shrouds And let me remain unseen Trees that grow together Like father and son Stand in stark contrast To my dreadful outcast soul I wander, forlorn Disfugured, so sore Aching from the weight I bore all those years I am descending a black mountain That crumbles beneath my feet Still, I am looking back Over barren hills Devoid of light I struggle to draw my breath. Straining my sight Just so I might catch A glimpse of a long dead dream |

8. | In Putris Stagnum | 06:27 | Show lyrics |
At last, I have arrived My tired eyes survey this Cancerous growth A festering pool of worms Sickening to behold Reminding me of what was, And what becomes of buried dreams Of reasons, I have but one To rid myself of pain Shrouded in black fog I am beyond death “For those who seek pleasure and power, I’ll make you beautiful Beyond your wildest dreams For I am he; The one said born of the gods But I must ask no less a price To dwell in you” I, relinquish body, mind, and soul My leprous skin and broken spirit I, long to see myself through your eyes Not with compassion but disgust Welcome, Death. I lay my mind to rest My faults I do detest At last, I fall “For those who seek pleasure and power, I’ll make you beautiful Beyond your wildest dreams For I am he; The one said born of the gods, Long live our king” Here I’ll stay I shall remain The air is warm, The water sweet to drink And here I’ll stay I shall remain This wondrous Sound Envelops me |

10. | Rebirth of an Old Nation | 09:00 | Show lyrics |
As Erthe’s beauty fades Behind bright, blinding lights Will I still recall The smell of the woods, My home, The lone and silent elk, The damp, misty air The allure of the erthe? I must posses a mind Not to be changed by place or time Not to be poisoned by The stench of progress I remember when I had a brother and a friend A friend whose struggles I alone have witnessed When I saw him there Crumbling face, empty stare A great, heaving sigh I, at last, said good bye The sky is black with fog Black with the souls of those who’ve lost That fleeting breath which they called life I step into the mist Recalling the place she and I lived Hoping to find some semblance of old joy But alas her tender spirit Has gone away at last For in my most desparate hour She did not come No empty blessings No friendly ghost To fill me with false hope Or haunt me with happy dreams Still I was drunk by the prospect That she may sit beside me When my trials were through I walk along the sand By the cold, brackish water “It’s hard to remember The paths we used to take” It’s hard to walk in this thick mud And I begin to sink. “Vocant me deus Numquam ita sentitur Humana” |

Oh sleeping stars, why are you so sad tonight Oh sleeping stars, will you shine for me tonight Oh sleeping stars Can you see them float in the night sky Can you hear those echoes of their sweet cries, creating a tune Can you see them shine so bright Can you feel their loneliness through their cold light, touching you My eyes feel so heavy when the stars are calling me - Join with us eternally - I’m falling in deep trance and my powers are weakening I’m falling in a world between dreams and reality I am now alone in the silent light and there’s nothing but darkness around me Deeper into unknown the strange light is guiding me Wake me until it’s too late Suddenly I feel a warmth go through my body But I feel that a part of me has died, I sense the change in me I must have been away so long so please stay with me for a while |

My love is petals and dew The Erthe, the wilderness too For a fonder man, there is none Who admires her like the Sun Shining down so she may glow… But a maid stood alone In the trees, overgrown And she pondered the plight Of the rose She drank the dew from the rose I drank the dew from the rose I envy the one that she chose His stare and longing did grow Then she offered me a sip, But I dare not touch my lip Where the serpent’s tongue hath coiled For a man she desires, And indeed one she would have If I should but meet Her gaze A man like you I’ve never known Her words a womanly moan So lonely he must remain alone Her dress so perfectly sewn If you’d come away with me, We shall never lonely be What a travesty it would be, Have you never felt the touch If our eyes should fondly meet Of a maid politely struck By a man so handsome as you? Come away, silly man No, no ‘Tis a green and pleasant land This cannot be That awaits us through the trees She has led me through the trees The Erthe, she whimpers neath my feet Her tears, they beg me not to leave Although sadder tales have been told, None so truthful Or so old As the man And his maid Gladly joined |

3. | To Higher Climes Where Few Might Stand | 07:51 | Show lyrics |
Beyond the feeble reaches Of conscious memory A voice long forgotten Echoes through the chamber of my thoughts I cannot recall The speaker or what was spoken Just a whisper now Still, it’s crying, screaming, wanting to be known As dawn greets dew-wet grass A brother returns at last Seven years in patience passed Long since have I laid my dreams to ash Oh rekindled Flame Dare not speak His name Oh unfettered son What gifts you were given Why, then, did you run? As night drapes silted shores No laughter is heard anymore Tales of terror and of war Hang heavy in the dampened midnight air Oh, recall the dream Hunger’s rising scream Rays of glinting light Glancing off dew-wet blades this night I was there Where once our fathers rode Beyond this mortal coil Toward that precipice of stone Which stands unchanged, uncaring, and old Countless wonders I have seen Endless skies of emerald green Minds can never idle be When magic stirs beyond the trees You know things of which I speak Secrets buried deep beneath Still eclipsed in jaded truth By the nameless wonders of my youth Oh, recall the dream (In dreams we cannot die) Hunger’s rising scream (It calls us to its side) Rays of glinting light Glancing off dew-wet blades this night Come with me to better days To higher climes where few might stand And never shall we tread again On silted shores, on blackened sand |

4. | To Souls Distant and Dreaming | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
There are few of us who know What wonders we were shown In the visions of our youth For children, as we were, Think only half formed thoughts And now, as men, we recollect A dull and shattered dream But some of us awake With phantasms so strange; Enchanted hills and golden plains And cities made of stone Where ancient heroes rode Caparisoned with gold We come alive and then we know We’ve looked back through the gates, The gates the Forest Keeper made |

5. | In Deep and Wooded Forests of My Youth | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
I know the place Where Memory sleeps And secrets hide It is not far Or hard to find Or too ancient to recall A sighing stream This endless forest’s dream Are you still too blind to see it? The force that feeds Our endless need This deep and wooded dream that is my heart But night will fall And trees once tall Will bend to his will That scorching Raven’s smile Writhing, putrid, vile His sharpened tongue A spear to kill A song of soil The vine’s exquisite coil All but faded footprints of my past But night will fall And while the midnight Forest breathes I will not leave my home |

Ne aveas Mortem Non dat is pacem In enim morte sciemus morsus quos reliquimus *Do not welcome Death He offers no Peace For even in Death We will know the pains We have left behind* Just as he came So he shall go In woe, in pain, in poverty Have you ever felt this way before? Can you feel the power surging through your soul? And once it’s over, you’ll want more Can’t you see it’s what the earth is for- Can you hear the sound of hunger rise? We could bring an end to all those mournful, helpless cries… Take then good heed Heed To your end For as I say So it shall be We, the paragons of creation We, the arbiters of change Was this not the dream we shared When we were young and unafraid? But you saw her there, Gentle eyes, tempting stare; And still you’re bound by her No, no, not bound but held And you needn’t think this way We, were but children you and I We, thought, as only children think, This world was ours to conquer, And its blood was ours to drink How far you have wandered, How deep lie your pains. Bask in this eternal summer Revel in Morning’s glow Join me on silted shores once more How long have I labored How deep lie the crusted jewels of my innocence |

7. | The Sound of a Glinting Blade | 04:52 | Show lyrics |
I heard the Forest sing Songs of my youth I’d never felt such pain before You held my hand that day You were my Sun before the dawn The darkened morning I have loved so long I don’t recall that day And I never thought of you when I cried You know the place And I never wondered why Where memory sleeps and secrets hide You left so suddenly Silence fills this place Naught but a memory of your embrace You, servile and sweet Soft as the sediment beneath our feet Far beyond the trees We roamed Yet, now, I plead: Recall the plans we made Dreams once so bold The jealous Sun stood still and cold What now has time revealed? A tepid pool of youth misspent A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt Strange, how you recount Wanton days, blissful nights Strange, as it seems, There was suffering And pain you never knew How could you? Do not welcome Death He offers no peace For even in death We will know the pains We have left behind Far beyond the trees I long to be A deeper stream Free from Flows endlessly Your incessant dream Toward my dream |

8. | The Sound Which Has No Name | 07:46 | Show lyrics |
No ancient script Was ever writ No jewel-decked throne On which to sit Soaring high, The Watcher waits To slake his thirst To clean his plate His jaws agape His claws unfurled The Winged-Watcher Swallows the world The oceans rise and fall With his heaving chest And in the wind We feel his breath No cries are heard No tears are wept For wise ones know The bond once kept The price he asked; The cost of death: A single drop, Still glistening wet, Of crystal’d pain To pay a debt As time went on The debt accrued And we foolish Men The price refused Now all is lost And we, Erthwile Peer at the stars Through his crooked smile Your soul is crumbling, rotting Beneath the chains of hate Can you hear those mournful, helpless cries? The sound which has no name Open your eyes The blackened fog has blinded you And with this darkness you have shrouded Our deep and wooded home He is our fatal end Our recompense He is the fear We all can sense The creeping serpent The reeking breath The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death |

2. | Of Aching, Empty Pain | 08:24 | Show lyrics |
Twenty years I’ve wished To know my place A hunt for peace An endless war Still I ran toward The throes of death ’Til I felt the warmth Of her chest I heave and sigh And reach and writhe ’Til at last I’m home And can see her Dancing She looks at me with Screaming eyes Twirling Calming motions Gentle sighs (I am lost), lost Lost in untold pleasures (In secret worlds) Where once we dwelt Flaming Enveloped in her fire Scorching I no longer feel the pain (Here I’ll stay) Swaddled in her blazing fire (I shall remain) Swinging, swaying Where she is Dancing in the darkness Tempted by her touch Screams impale the silence Running carelessly into the fray Who can make the willful stay? Can you tell me, what did she say? That she’d give her life away? And though I know Days are dark and filled of woe May your countenance never show What the child inside you knows O ageless fount of youth The heavens for you sigh Reveal thy shape, O formless one For ages have I wandered For aeons have I cried: Walk with me, O Winged Mother Dancing She looks at me with Screaming eyes Twirling Calming motions Gentle sighs (I am lost), lost Lost in untold pleasures (In secret worlds) Where once we dwelt Flaming Enveloped in her fire Scorching I no longer feel the pain (Here I’ll stay) Swaddled in her blazing fire (I shall remain) Swinging, swaying Where she is Twenty years I’ve wished To know my place A hunt for peace Decades of war Still searching for a soul I hope you know I hope you’re there Where dreams at last prevail Where fear is met with laughter Where promise cannot fail I hope you know My heart is there In the damp and misty air Where still the scent of morning Hangs softly in your hair I hope you know My heart is yours My angel of repose My only fleeting solace Of this aching, empty pain |

3. | Of Gods Bereft of Grace | 06:53 | Show lyrics |
Come, Release your hate. Revile your pain Lay down the weight Crushing your soul Oh, the well lit halls of my home Painted by polyphony May I find some peace; Solace In this harmony Built from broken, nameless sound Hear, Colors unseen Cast from their mouths Halls once well lit Dampened and dim Have you grasped the infinite? Can you feel the weight of eternity? Mocking, mangling, Smothering you with hands that never shake Reveal to me Those glorious wanton days At last I feel The truth is gripping me I can scarcely draw my breath My soul is drifting toward The valley deep within Melt my heart O music. Let flow your stream, Resonant chambers of rage, contentment, passion or fear. Life to ever-sleep. Melt my heart O music. Let flow your stream, Resonant chambers of rage, contentment, passion or fear. Life to ever-sleep. For only you can strike us with your magic. |

4. | Of Strength and the Lust for Power | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Redeem thy misspent time that is past And live this day as if thy last Do you remember the forest before dawn? When you and I were impetuous and strong Forming worlds and making legends with our thoughts Dreaming boldly with a strength that can’t be taught Leave this place You are not welcome here In light of what you’ve done Oh, my tainted son How welcoming Just like the Father who Resented me from birth I am not your son The strength you seek Is buried ‘neath a reeking corpse The death wrought by your dreams I beheld the great Stone city Bastions of marble rose gleaming above the clouds I only seek to restore what wisdom was lost; To champion those who must remain… Erthwile You think me mad My mind twisted and cruel I admit, my sins belie my goals But the madness is your own The power is limitless... Don’t you know? We could bring her back! One day I know you will let me soar And then you shall watch in excited horror As you see all of the terrible things that I do And you realize, it is only you I, as well, Longed for that wistful gaze (I was never meant to know) O, to know A father’s warm embrace I, as well, Longed for the fresh sea air (All those years I never thought) I had thought Somehow I’d make you care Within me A bestial entity Is in control Destiny no longer belongs to me Corruption takes its toll |

5. | Walk With Me, O Winged Mother | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
Warm drops of petrichor Stream from the trees To the forest floor Try to find me In the morning mist Neath the canopy Where once we kissed Where I am held by evergreens Silently With their oaken eaves I am where The scent hangs in the air Where I drank the dew And met your stare Where you can sleep amongst the leaves Peacefully Dream of simple things I should have followed you O, the warm, warm forest floor... Where I’ll dream no more I felt the outstretched arms of Death Reaching ’tward my heaving chest But in the Orchard I was kept Safe within that thorny crest Though through the mist the Reaper crept Row by row, ’til none were left There I slept amongst (the leaves) Held silently by evergreens With giant, arching, oaken eaves I slept and dreamt of simple things, so trifling Of wishes whispered silently Of when I saw her through the trees O dreams are real until we wake Beneath this curtain’s heavy weight The chains of sleep I cannot (shake) Skies may thunder, Erthe may quake But never could they from me take Her tender spirit, the one for whom I ache |

6. | Through Caverns Old and Yawning | 02:19 | Show lyrics |
What a friend What a friend Has Torment Found in me My chest, my chest A cavern Wherein he may dwell My eyes But shadows My mind, my mind A void Unable to escape This vile, vile Carcass I shall remain Purposeless, purposeless Without thoughts But what a friend, What a friend Has Torment found in me |

7. | Through Chains That Drag Us Downward | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
So, it must be true Few are worthy of its weight Few are meant to know What the ancients knew And fewer, still Dare to test their will Few possess the strength Timid and tame, but I I would return this race to its former glory! I have seen the crumbling face of our gilded past; Wind-worn monuments , of a more glorious age Mock us with their unchang’d stare How can we know what wonders came before us? I long to feel that power which lies dormant in our blood As they assembled, this gleaming precipice Reaching high, above the clouds How many lifetimes would I waste Trying to reach its top Clutching its edges, higher still Grasping at the hair-like roots That grow out from the cracks Only to swipe through the open air And fall again and again What sort of creature am I? So I bear this burden I suffer and I grow I grow in vision and in fortitude (I grow with the fire that is my soul) With the fire that is my soul I’ll teach the world to speak in truer tongues To ever strive for better days I’ll let the visage of this mangled form (I’ll teach the world to strive for better days) Teach me the value of each day To spend the full force of our energies Advancing towards a new and glorious morning— The genuine life full of vibrancy and meaning— This shall be our aim. Let us marshall our motivations To align with such a high and worthy cause. Let us set new declarations And discipline in our lives. Let the value of freedom Run through every crevice in our minds, Through every thought and every action that we choose, Through every monument we erect Through the long days and long marches That lead to our highest selves and (highest) contributions, Through all the hopeful dreams Born from a liberated soul. |

8. | Toward Truth and Reconciliation | 11:22 | Show lyrics |
O, the biting pulse of my memories Gnawing the roots of my pain O, the icy tendrils of the past Striking my heart with a cold, whipping chill O, the mountains’ moan, The cackling of the crows Singing the forest’s refrain Winds whistling through My deep and wooded home But I am deaf to the sound The sound which has no name An Ode to the Feral Heart The wild one who roams Without shame or guilt or fear God and Man at once The king without a throne His spirit strikes you with wonder His words are thick with truth Like heavy drops of amber That cloak the oaken bark He is the one who came before In whom all powers lie Flowing from his fingertips Those warm and gentle streams The current running ceaselessly Through trees forever dark And when you see him standing tall He speaks her words into your heart: “I know the place Where memory sleeps And secrets hide It is not far Or hard to find Or too ancient to recall” Heaving my chest Gripping my throat Sleepless, senseless I cannot speak But the tears stream Warm, and heavy With the weight of What I must do O, my Brother, what have you done? What have you and I become? Can you count the links, one by one? Of the chain that you’ve begun Chains of hate for each man you’ve wronged Chains that hold forever strong They will follow you where you go As their weight forever grows Open the gates, O forest keeper To lost and ancient gardens To higher climes where few might stand To souls distant and dreaming In deep and wooded forests of my youth The sound of hunger rises The sound of a glinting blade The sound which has no name Reveal thy shape, O formless one Of aching, empty pain Of gods bereft of grace Of strength, and the lust for power Walk with me, O winged mother Through caverns old and yawning Through chains that drag us downward Toward truth and reconciliation |

1. | The Last Relic of Axen | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
The cosmos is a mindless vortex A seething ocean of blind forces In which the greatest joy is unconsciousness And the greatest pain realisation" Still, darkness torments me As I’m engulfed by light No thing beneath me But the all-consuming sea Death smells familiar And its fumes ignite my eyes Still, I see nothing As I fall to my demise "For what does it matter Whether we suffer or not? Our feelings are The most trivial of incidents In the unending cycle Of existence. |

2. | Iced, In Extremis | 07:39 | Show lyrics |
In this tomb Wrought by ice Solidified, my eyes Stare blankly at night sky Cold and soulless As I die Helpless Unable to comprehend Iced, in extremis A frozen god Damned, alone ’Til time is gone Time will end In this tomb Wrought by ice Solidified, my eyes Stare blankly at night sky Cold and soulless As I die Watching, waiting, slowly dying Never to decay A shell preserved for all time Iced, in extremis A frozen god Herald of death lives on |

3. | Wormwood | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
All the trivial pleasures of Erthe Are but bile and bitter venom When all has darkened Hatred’s light shall guide me The torrid winds of my home No longer warm my flesh I turn my gaze to the sea To my forgotten enemy The weight of prophecy No longer burdens me I save my strength To be reborn Behind me is that world of Ash The cold air shortens my breath Winters Spirits grow stronger As I draw near I hope my death Absolves me of my wrongs I hope, I hope it is cold I hope, I hope it hurts And as my life is ripped away I hope I try to hold on I go alone Into Erthe’s frozen womb The weight, the weight of the cold Is too much, Too much to bear I hope it’s cold I hope it hurts As Wormwood fell Into the sea I became Nobody Though tales are told Of the cold No one knows How it feels |

4. | Incultus | 08:31 | Show lyrics |
Cursed be thy name The outcast one; companionless. Who by his will betrayed His beautiful creation. It is unspoken And he is resolute He is broken He will not say If he’s the enemy He is no one His mind will rot And crows will tear his flesh Live long, feel naught When given life He found a way to die He is no one So here’s your land; This Barren Erthe. Both thorn and thistle shall it grow for you. And though you’ll eat of it, It never satisfies. And you will curse its name! Incultus! |

2. | Blessed He with Boils | 07:29 | Show lyrics |
Marked for death and horribly maimed I’ve suffered its pains, yet rightwise claimed This holy throne atop the Erthe; All shall witness a new god’s birth "Blasphemer, deceiver A perfect fool" I shall nobly rule "Whose lies entrance" This northern expanse Believe! This holy land belongs to me The crown of kings upon my head Proclaims my royalty. Accept my gift And grovel at my knees Arise! Monuments to my reign One thousand years of faceless gods Replaced by fire and steel Consume! And let our might be known The feeble kings of Erthe and Axen Are but flesh and bone Man, who is Erthwile born Who longs, who tries, who is Full of strife How frail is life! And mine is but a breath A hopeless Thought "Who is empty, Faithless, embittered And capable of anything Inconquerable Yet full of woe" So I extend my reach Upon riches Unfit for unseen gods And disperse them to my sons My body is covered with maggots and scabs My skin, is faded, cracked and dry And still they proclaim "Blasphemer, deceiver" A thief they say But I have suffered And I have paid "All this was Long ago. Reap what you sew: Erthe and Axen, Flesh and bone" Marked for death No sense but a pulse Neath my fading breath I’ll bear the weight Chains of my past so full of hate "King of Erthe" How frail is life "Dust and Ash" How full of strife "Like aeons past" And when I die "Your disease shall never last" Never again shall I arise "All this was" A thief they say "Long ago" To dead gods they pray "Reap what you sew" I have suffered "Erthe and Axen, flesh and bone" I have paid |

4. | Long Live Our Lifeless King | 08:57 | Show lyrics |
Do not reject me If I should not continue on Then let me freeze Freeze again to death If she will receive me Then through these gates I must proceed Erthe’s very womb From whence all were born I taste the stench of death My sight grows sharp My breath is steady He hides behind Monuments to progress "Lights that blind" Hail! to the Thane of Thule! Born of ashes, born to rule! "We exalt your glory" And bring from afar riches and Offerings fit for a king (You are no king) Hail! To a foolish boy Whose Relicry is but a ploy "Who is falsely burdened" With the charge of an absent god You so brutally wronged Brother, relinquish your crown (Your time has come) I have earned the right I have sacrificed Years of my life My dignity and my pride To bring man erthly light I come to bear witness Iron pillars will turn to Ashes as you fall Not with splendor But with a sigh You think you have suffered? I’ve endured things far worse than pain, I’ll make you taste Death How easily he fell A hollow empty shell: Behold your lifeless King! |

Sino me vivere, O, carnifex magnus Let me live! O great tormentor! For my life is but a passing shadow My eyes are unable to see What light may lie beyond this life Let me make our brief and tortured lives Seem beautiful and grand For soon we will turn to dust You will look upon this Erthe And we will be gone God of Ashes, King of Erthe Given to a strange rebirth Every man shall to him sing: "Xanthochroid, our rightful King" Deus Absconditus God who is hidden from man We, disciples of the north Bring this vile carcass forth No one comforts as he weeps Simply drifting off to sleep |

6. | Deus Absconditus: Part II | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
And as I watched him writhe in pain I felt that familiar horror; Struggling to breath and console my fear, I realized once again The true nature of existence. That awful reality I’ve tried to forget Since I was young. “Deus Absconditus” The eternal void that awaits us all, “God who is hidden from man” Whether Erthwile bound or a Relic like me; The infinite measure of time and space Captures each of us for all eternity. “Deus Absconditus” No one knows what lies beyond, “God who is hidden from man” But it matters not to me Whether it is a neverending paradise, A burning pit of fire, Or a void of non-existence. Whatever horrors or pleasures Await us after this life Will never eclipse the cold chill Of time’s endless decay. |

7. | The Leper’s Prospect | 05:51 | Show lyrics |
Cold winds Sting my coarse and blistered skin Making my return To a vain veil of time Dead dreams Shadows cry out desparately Can you not remember Your lost son’s name? Why should I persist? Wrap me up in shrouds And let me remain unseen Trees that grow together Like father and son Stand in stark contrast To my dreadful outcast soul I wander, forlorn Disfugured, so sore Aching from the weight I bore all those years I am descending a black mountain That crumbles beneath my feet Still, I am looking back Over barren hills Devoid of light I struggle to draw my breath. Straining my sight Just so I might catch A glimpse of a long dead dream |

I must posses a mind Not to be changed by place or time Not to be poisoned by The stench of progress I remember when I had a brother and a friend A friend whose struggles I alone have witnessed When I saw him there Crumbling face, empty stare A great, heaving sigh I, at last, said good bye The sky is black with fog Black with the souls of those who’ve lost That fleeting breath which they called life I step into the mist Recalling the place she and I lived Hoping to find some semblance of old joy But alas her tender spirit Has gone away at last For in my most desparate hour She did not come No empty blessings No friendly ghost To fill me with false hope Or haunt me with happy dreams Still I was drunk by the prospect That she may sit beside me When my trials were through I walk along the sand By the cold, brackish water “It’s hard to remember The paths we used to take” It’s hard to walk in this thick mud And I begin to sink. “Vocant me deus Numquam ita sentitur Humana” |

Marked for death and horribly maimed I’ve suffered its pains, yet rightwise claimed This holy throne atop the Erthe; All shall witness a new god’s birth "Blasphemer, deceiver A perfect fool" I shall nobly rule "Whose lies entrance" This northern expanse Believe! This holy land belongs to me The crown of kings upon my head Proclaims my royalty. Accept my gift And grovel at my knees Arise! Monuments to my reign One thousand years of faceless gods Replaced by fire and steel Consume! And let our might be known The feeble kings of Erthe and Axen Are but flesh and bone Man, who is Erthwile born Who longs, who tries, who is Full of strife How frail is life! And mine is but a breath A hopeless Thought "Who is empty, Faithless, embittered And capable of anything Inconquerable Yet full of woe" So I extend my reach Upon riches Unfit for unseen gods And disperse them to my sons My body is covered with maggots and scabs My skin, is faded, cracked and dry And still they proclaim "Blasphemer, deceiver" A thief they say But I have suffered And I have paid "All this was Long ago. Reap what you sew: Erthe and Axen, Flesh and bone" Marked for death No sense but a pulse Neath my fading breath I’ll bear the weight Chains of my past so full of hate "King of Erthe" How frail is life "Dust and Ash" How full of strife "Like aeons past" And when I die "Your disease shall never last" Never again shall I arise "All this was" A thief they say "Long ago" To dead gods they pray "Reap what you sew" I have suffered "Erthe and Axen, flesh and bone" I have paid |

And as I watched him writhe in pain I felt that familiar horror; Struggling to breath and console my fear, I realized once again The true nature of existence. That awful reality I’ve tried to forget Since I was young. “Deus Absconditus” The eternal void that awaits us all, “God who is hidden from man” Whether Erthwile bound or a Relic like me; The infinite measure of time and space Captures each of us for all eternity. “Deus Absconditus” No one knows what lies beyond, “God who is hidden from man” But it matters not to me Whether it is a neverending paradise, A burning pit of fire, Or a void of non-existence. Whatever horrors or pleasures Await us after this life Will never eclipse the cold chill Of time’s endless decay. |

Far away there´s a land of snow and sorrow Time has made the frozen tears fall like rain from the starlit sky And I feel so cold, I can´t make it tomorrow Oh, but the night will see where this path will lead my life Endless field of snow at the edge of the world and the wailing Winds so cold scar my face, I´m going insane I am lost from the light - And the memories follow me in the night I´m left in the arms of winter and I am carried far away - Far away Night is falling over my home The land of snow and sorrow, oh carry me away from the cold And I fall asleep, I will dream the last dream All I was, is gone now and sorrow is all I feel Night is falling over my home The land of snow and sorrow, oh carry me away from the cold And I fall asleep and I will not be afraid All I was, is gone now and sorrow is all I feel |

My love is petals and dew The Erthe, the wilderness too For a fonder man, there is none Who admires her like the Sun Shining down so she may glow… But a maid stood alone In the trees, overgrown And she pondered the plight Of the rose She drank the dew from the rose I drank the dew from the rose I envy the one that she chose His stare and longing did grow Then she offered me a sip, But I dare not touch my lip Where the serpent’s tongue hath coiled For a man she desires, And indeed one she would have If I should but meet Her gaze A man like you I’ve never known Her words a womanly moan So lonely he must remain alone Her dress so perfectly sewn If you’d come away with me, We shall never lonely be What a travesty it would be, Have you never felt the touch If our eyes should fondly meet Of a maid politely struck By a man so handsome as you? Come away, silly man No, no ‘Tis a green and pleasant land This cannot be That awaits us through the trees She has led me through the trees The Erthe, she whimpers neath my feet Her tears, they beg me not to leave Although sadder tales have been told, None so truthful Or so old As the man And his maid Gladly joined |

Beyond the feeble reaches Of conscious memory A voice long forgotten Echoes through the chamber of my thoughts I cannot recall The speaker or what was spoken Just a whisper now Still, it’s crying, screaming, wanting to be known As dawn greets dew-wet grass A brother returns at last Seven years in patience passed Long since have I laid my dreams to ash Oh rekindled Flame Dare not speak His name Oh unfettered son What gifts you were given Why, then, did you run? As night drapes silted shores No laughter is heard anymore Tales of terror and of war Hang heavy in the dampened midnight air Oh, recall the dream Hunger’s rising scream Rays of glinting light Glancing off dew-wet blades this night I was there Where once our fathers rode Beyond this mortal coil Toward that precipice of stone Which stands unchanged, uncaring, and old Countless wonders I have seen Endless skies of emerald green Minds can never idle be When magic stirs beyond the trees You know things of which I speak Secrets buried deep beneath Still eclipsed in jaded truth By the nameless wonders of my youth Oh, recall the dream (In dreams we cannot die) Hunger’s rising scream (It calls us to its side) Rays of glinting light Glancing off dew-wet blades this night Come with me to better days To higher climes where few might stand And never shall we tread again On silted shores, on blackened sand |

The force that feeds Our endless need This deep and wooded dream that is my heart But night will fall And trees once tall Will bend to his will That scorching Raven’s smile Writhing, putrid, vile His sharpened tongue A spear to kill A song of soil The vine’s exquisite coil All but faded footprints of my past But night will fall And while the midnight Forest breathes I will not leave my home |

Ne aveas Mortem Non dat is pacem In enim morte sciemus morsus quos reliquimus *Do not welcome Death He offers no Peace For even in Death We will know the pains We have left behind* Just as he came So he shall go In woe, in pain, in poverty Have you ever felt this way before? Can you feel the power surging through your soul? And once it’s over, you’ll want more Can’t you see it’s what the earth is for- Can you hear the sound of hunger rise? We could bring an end to all those mournful, helpless cries… Take then good heed Heed To your end For as I say So it shall be We, the paragons of creation We, the arbiters of change Was this not the dream we shared When we were young and unafraid? But you saw her there, Gentle eyes, tempting stare; And still you’re bound by her No, no, not bound but held And you needn’t think this way We, were but children you and I We, thought, as only children think, This world was ours to conquer, And its blood was ours to drink How far you have wandered, How deep lie your pains. Bask in this eternal summer Revel in Morning’s glow Join me on silted shores once more How long have I labored How deep lie the crusted jewels of my innocence |

I heard the Forest sing Songs of my youth I’d never felt such pain before You held my hand that day You were my Sun before the dawn The darkened morning I have loved so long I don’t recall that day And I never thought of you when I cried You know the place And I never wondered why Where memory sleeps and secrets hide You left so suddenly Silence fills this place Naught but a memory of your embrace You, servile and sweet Soft as the sediment beneath our feet Far beyond the trees We roamed Yet, now, I plead: Recall the plans we made Dreams once so bold The jealous Sun stood still and cold What now has time revealed? A tepid pool of youth misspent A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt Strange, how you recount Wanton days, blissful nights Strange, as it seems, There was suffering And pain you never knew How could you? Do not welcome Death He offers no peace For even in death We will know the pains We have left behind Far beyond the trees I long to be A deeper stream Free from Flows endlessly Your incessant dream Toward my dream |

8. | The Sound Which Has No Name | 07:46 | Show lyrics |
No ancient script Was ever writ No jewel-decked throne On which to sit Soaring high, The Watcher waits To slake his thirst To clean his plate His jaws agape His claws unfurled The Winged-Watcher Swallows the world The oceans rise and fall With his heaving chest And in the wind We feel his breath No cries are heard No tears are wept For wise ones know The bond once kept The price he asked; The cost of death: A single drop, Still glistening wet, Of crystal’d pain To pay a debt As time went on The debt accrued And we foolish Men The price refused Now all is lost And we, Erthwile Peer at the stars Through his crooked smile Your soul is crumbling, rotting Beneath the chains of hate Can you hear those mournful, helpless cries? The sound which has no name Open your eyes The blackened fog has blinded you And with this darkness you have shrouded Our deep and wooded home He is our fatal end Our recompense He is the fear We all can sense The creeping serpent The reeking breath The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death |

The force that feeds Our endless need This deep and wooded dream that is my heart But night will fall And trees once tall Will bend to his will That scorching Raven’s smile Writhing, putrid, vile His sharpened tongue A spear to kill A song of soil The vine’s exquisite coil All but faded footprints of my past But night will fall And while the midnight Forest breathes I will not leave my home |

6. | The Sound of Hunger Rises | 06:03 | Show lyrics |
Ne aveas Mortem Non dat is pacem In enim morte sciemus morsus quos reliquimus *Do not welcome Death He offers no Peace For even in Death We will know the pains We have left behind* Just as he came So he shall go In woe, in pain, in poverty Have you ever felt this way before? Can you feel the power surging through your soul? And once it’s over, you’ll want more Can’t you see it’s what the earth is for- Can you hear the sound of hunger rise? We could bring an end to all those mournful, helpless cries… Take then good heed Heed To your end For as I say So it shall be We, the paragons of creation We, the arbiters of change Was this not the dream we shared When we were young and unafraid? But you saw her there, Gentle eyes, tempting stare; And still you’re bound by her No, no, not bound but held And you needn’t think this way We, were but children you and I We, thought, as only children think, This world was ours to conquer, And its blood was ours to drink How far you have wandered, How deep lie your pains. Bask in this eternal summer Revel in Morning’s glow Join me on silted shores once more How long have I labored How deep lie the crusted jewels of my innocence |

7. | The Sound of a Glinting Blade | 04:52 | Show lyrics |
I heard the Forest sing Songs of my youth I’d never felt such pain before You held my hand that day You were my Sun before the dawn The darkened morning I have loved so long I don’t recall that day And I never thought of you when I cried You know the place And I never wondered why Where memory sleeps and secrets hide You left so suddenly Silence fills this place Naught but a memory of your embrace You, servile and sweet Soft as the sediment beneath our feet Far beyond the trees We roamed Yet, now, I plead: Recall the plans we made Dreams once so bold The jealous Sun stood still and cold What now has time revealed? A tepid pool of youth misspent A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt Strange, how you recount Wanton days, blissful nights Strange, as it seems, There was suffering And pain you never knew How could you? Do not welcome Death He offers no peace For even in death We will know the pains We have left behind Far beyond the trees I long to be A deeper stream Free from Flows endlessly Your incessant dream Toward my dream |

8. | The Sound Which Has No Name | 07:46 | Show lyrics |
No ancient script Was ever writ No jewel-decked throne On which to sit Soaring high, The Watcher waits To slake his thirst To clean his plate His jaws agape His claws unfurled The Winged-Watcher Swallows the world The oceans rise and fall With his heaving chest And in the wind We feel his breath No cries are heard No tears are wept For wise ones know The bond once kept The price he asked; The cost of death: A single drop, Still glistening wet, Of crystal’d pain To pay a debt As time went on The debt accrued And we foolish Men The price refused Now all is lost And we, Erthwile Peer at the stars Through his crooked smile Your soul is crumbling, rotting Beneath the chains of hate Can you hear those mournful, helpless cries? The sound which has no name Open your eyes The blackened fog has blinded you And with this darkness you have shrouded Our deep and wooded home He is our fatal end Our recompense He is the fear We all can sense The creeping serpent The reeking breath The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death The fangs of Erebus The certainty of Death |

2. | Of Aching, Empty Pain | 08:24 | Show lyrics |
Twenty years I’ve wished To know my place A hunt for peace An endless war Still I ran toward The throes of death ’Til I felt the warmth Of her chest I heave and sigh And reach and writhe ’Til at last I’m home And can see her Dancing She looks at me with Screaming eyes Twirling Calming motions Gentle sighs (I am lost), lost Lost in untold pleasures (In secret worlds) Where once we dwelt Flaming Enveloped in her fire Scorching I no longer feel the pain (Here I’ll stay) Swaddled in her blazing fire (I shall remain) Swinging, swaying Where she is Dancing in the darkness Tempted by her touch Screams impale the silence Running carelessly into the fray Who can make the willful stay? Can you tell me, what did she say? That she’d give her life away? And though I know Days are dark and filled of woe May your countenance never show What the child inside you knows O ageless fount of youth The heavens for you sigh Reveal thy shape, O formless one For ages have I wandered For aeons have I cried: Walk with me, O Winged Mother Dancing She looks at me with Screaming eyes Twirling Calming motions Gentle sighs (I am lost), lost Lost in untold pleasures (In secret worlds) Where once we dwelt Flaming Enveloped in her fire Scorching I no longer feel the pain (Here I’ll stay) Swaddled in her blazing fire (I shall remain) Swinging, swaying Where she is Twenty years I’ve wished To know my place A hunt for peace Decades of war Still searching for a soul I hope you know I hope you’re there Where dreams at last prevail Where fear is met with laughter Where promise cannot fail I hope you know My heart is there In the damp and misty air Where still the scent of morning Hangs softly in your hair I hope you know My heart is yours My angel of repose My only fleeting solace Of this aching, empty pain |

3. | Of Gods Bereft of Grace | 06:53 | Show lyrics |
Come, Release your hate. Revile your pain Lay down the weight Crushing your soul Oh, the well lit halls of my home Painted by polyphony May I find some peace; Solace In this harmony Built from broken, nameless sound Hear, Colors unseen Cast from their mouths Halls once well lit Dampened and dim Have you grasped the infinite? Can you feel the weight of eternity? Mocking, mangling, Smothering you with hands that never shake Reveal to me Those glorious wanton days At last I feel The truth is gripping me I can scarcely draw my breath My soul is drifting toward The valley deep within Melt my heart O music. Let flow your stream, Resonant chambers of rage, contentment, passion or fear. Life to ever-sleep. Melt my heart O music. Let flow your stream, Resonant chambers of rage, contentment, passion or fear. Life to ever-sleep. For only you can strike us with your magic. |

4. | Of Strength and the Lust for Power | 06:24 | Show lyrics |
Redeem thy misspent time that is past And live this day as if thy last Do you remember the forest before dawn? When you and I were impetuous and strong Forming worlds and making legends with our thoughts Dreaming boldly with a strength that can’t be taught Leave this place You are not welcome here In light of what you’ve done Oh, my tainted son How welcoming Just like the Father who Resented me from birth I am not your son The strength you seek Is buried ‘neath a reeking corpse The death wrought by your dreams I beheld the great Stone city Bastions of marble rose gleaming above the clouds I only seek to restore what wisdom was lost; To champion those who must remain… Erthwile You think me mad My mind twisted and cruel I admit, my sins belie my goals But the madness is your own The power is limitless... Don’t you know? We could bring her back! One day I know you will let me soar And then you shall watch in excited horror As you see all of the terrible things that I do And you realize, it is only you I, as well, Longed for that wistful gaze (I was never meant to know) O, to know A father’s warm embrace I, as well, Longed for the fresh sea air (All those years I never thought) I had thought Somehow I’d make you care Within me A bestial entity Is in control Destiny no longer belongs to me Corruption takes its toll |

5. | Walk With Me, O Winged Mother | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
Warm drops of petrichor Stream from the trees To the forest floor Try to find me In the morning mist Neath the canopy Where once we kissed Where I am held by evergreens Silently With their oaken eaves I am where The scent hangs in the air Where I drank the dew And met your stare Where you can sleep amongst the leaves Peacefully Dream of simple things I should have followed you O, the warm, warm forest floor... Where I’ll dream no more I felt the outstretched arms of Death Reaching ’tward my heaving chest But in the Orchard I was kept Safe within that thorny crest Though through the mist the Reaper crept Row by row, ’til none were left There I slept amongst (the leaves) Held silently by evergreens With giant, arching, oaken eaves I slept and dreamt of simple things, so trifling Of wishes whispered silently Of when I saw her through the trees O dreams are real until we wake Beneath this curtain’s heavy weight The chains of sleep I cannot (shake) Skies may thunder, Erthe may quake But never could they from me take Her tender spirit, the one for whom I ache |

7. | Through Chains That Drag Us Downward | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
So, it must be true Few are worthy of its weight Few are meant to know What the ancients knew And fewer, still Dare to test their will Few possess the strength Timid and tame, but I I would return this race to its former glory! I have seen the crumbling face of our gilded past; Wind-worn monuments , of a more glorious age Mock us with their unchang’d stare How can we know what wonders came before us? I long to feel that power which lies dormant in our blood As they assembled, this gleaming precipice Reaching high, above the clouds How many lifetimes would I waste Trying to reach its top Clutching its edges, higher still Grasping at the hair-like roots That grow out from the cracks Only to swipe through the open air And fall again and again What sort of creature am I? So I bear this burden I suffer and I grow I grow in vision and in fortitude (I grow with the fire that is my soul) With the fire that is my soul I’ll teach the world to speak in truer tongues To ever strive for better days I’ll let the visage of this mangled form (I’ll teach the world to strive for better days) Teach me the value of each day To spend the full force of our energies Advancing towards a new and glorious morning— The genuine life full of vibrancy and meaning— This shall be our aim. Let us marshall our motivations To align with such a high and worthy cause. Let us set new declarations And discipline in our lives. Let the value of freedom Run through every crevice in our minds, Through every thought and every action that we choose, Through every monument we erect Through the long days and long marches That lead to our highest selves and (highest) contributions, Through all the hopeful dreams Born from a liberated soul. |

8. | Toward Truth and Reconciliation | 11:22 | Show lyrics |
O, the biting pulse of my memories Gnawing the roots of my pain O, the icy tendrils of the past Striking my heart with a cold, whipping chill O, the mountains’ moan, The cackling of the crows Singing the forest’s refrain Winds whistling through My deep and wooded home But I am deaf to the sound The sound which has no name An Ode to the Feral Heart The wild one who roams Without shame or guilt or fear God and Man at once The king without a throne His spirit strikes you with wonder His words are thick with truth Like heavy drops of amber That cloak the oaken bark He is the one who came before In whom all powers lie Flowing from his fingertips Those warm and gentle streams The current running ceaselessly Through trees forever dark And when you see him standing tall He speaks her words into your heart: “I know the place Where memory sleeps And secrets hide It is not far Or hard to find Or too ancient to recall” Heaving my chest Gripping my throat Sleepless, senseless I cannot speak But the tears stream Warm, and heavy With the weight of What I must do O, my Brother, what have you done? What have you and I become? Can you count the links, one by one? Of the chain that you’ve begun Chains of hate for each man you’ve wronged Chains that hold forever strong They will follow you where you go As their weight forever grows Open the gates, O forest keeper To lost and ancient gardens To higher climes where few might stand To souls distant and dreaming In deep and wooded forests of my youth The sound of hunger rises The sound of a glinting blade The sound which has no name Reveal thy shape, O formless one Of aching, empty pain Of gods bereft of grace Of strength, and the lust for power Walk with me, O winged mother Through caverns old and yawning Through chains that drag us downward Toward truth and reconciliation |
