We fought on and on for eons
I no longer fear
And now I can see
How my death is near
I expire
Death comes creeping ever closer
Calling down the sun to face me
Drag it to the depths while I bleed
(‘Till it’s done)
All that you’ve fought for
And all that you’ve lost
You believe that my last breath
will soften the cost
Worshiping the sun above all others
Now all your sons and daughters
will all live afraid
Father of lies, our love you despise
As your time drains slowly
Perish in pain, a life of disdain
Now the sun sets on your soul
Rend my flesh with the zeal of a tyrant
Draining all the essence I contain
As you call for Annihilation
Calling for my Lifeblood
Taking all I am as I bleed
As I bleed
There is no redemption
I expire
Underneath a veil of ire
Come and claim your prize, Sunlover
Drag me to my death and discover
W hat your love has done
Father of lies, our love you despise
As your time drains slowly
Perish in pain, a life of disdain
Now the sun sets on your soul
Swallowing the sun until they
Never see the light of day
Coming for their lives and surely
They (cannot)
Hide (from me)
Even in my death I will not
Ever let this hatred fade
Taking (solace)
In the (Knowledge)
How they will suffer
Suffer
I will make them suffer
Father of lies, our love you despise
As your time drains slowly
Perish in pain, a life of disdain
Now the sun sets on your
Treacherous lies, the dawn is our prize
As your time drains slowly
Tarnish your name, Silence reclaimed
Now the sun sets on your soul

Interlude I - Sturm
01:01
|
|||
|
Untold years since the slaying of Drakketh
Drained of all that would prove his existence
The mortal realm have erased their fear
Pledging their souls to the celestial gods
We find ourselves here
Beneath the earth so deep
No light dare enter
Amongst the matriarchal dwarves
Preparing a feast
But not one for the stomachs of mortals
But for the Sleeping Gods of the mountain
A feast of Blood and Bone
The queen Terieth preparing a morsel
Only she can
The soul of her only son
The one they call Sturm

Blood And Stones

You left me here
To rot down in the darkest depths
And in repayment
I will take your Blood and Stones
Creeping up to slice the throat of
(Innocence)
Taking all that I wish with no
(Consequence)
They’ll find nothing but your bones
I will take your blood and stones
Skulking through my sacred darkness
(With no light)
Pay the price for this transgression
(With your life)
Now my hands are stained in red
And in time you'll soon be dead
Sating the fire won't kill this desire
It's always returning
May this disease never end
(Blood in, blood out)
Hide me from the sun
Drown me in the dark
And pray all that I’ve done
Won't see the light of day
Fingers wrapped around your throat
(Blood in, blood out)
and now my hands are
(Blood in, blood out)
Squeezing so hard you can't
Breathe
Taste your fear upon my lips such
(A delight)
Now my fire, my desire
(Is alight)
Chase me to the dark unknown
Soon I’ll sit upon your throne
Diving deeper into this cold
(Sanctuary)
Calling forth the depths to bring your
(Tragedy)
Take this life, it's yours to hold
I will take their blood and stones
Hide me from the sun
Drown me in the dark
And pray all that I’ve done
Won't see the light of day
Casting out your only son
You've ensured his will be done
Blood in, blood out
Blood in, blood out

Soaked in the blood of his once thought Kin
Sturm relinquishes the precious stones
An outstretched hand
Offered with strength
By a figured he believed to be naught but legend
Nox Abbarath
A hero beyond compare
Stares down on this wretched
Broken Child
“Take my hand and they shall know fear
They will know Terror... Eternal”

(How Time Will Tell)
We'll never fear again
(How Time Will Tell)
We'll never fear again
Now, these are the lies that you tell yourselves
Culling all of the doubts that plague your mind
And I shall see the hope drain from your eyes
His name shall carry the weight of your doom
Then you will see
The end of all your days in misery
(How Time Will Tell)
We'll never fear again
(How Time Will Tell)
We'll never fear again
I call forth sorrow
I call for the end of a dying sun
Of all that you claim to be
All will be fire
Until their kingdoms are nothing but dust
So spread the gospel to all that would hear
Show them oblivion
And I shall bask in the radiance
Of their terror forevermore
Of their terror forevermore
(How Time Will Tell)
How they will fear again
(How Time Will Tell)
They'll live in fear again
(How Time Will Tell)
Oh, they will fear again
(How Time Will Tell)
They will know Terror Eternal

Witnessing unbridled power
Bursting forth from the mountains
Arkett
Queen of the Elves
First of her name
Calls forth the newly appointed captain
Of her royal Valkyrae
“Morrigale!
Descend upon those fools
And bring suffering to whomever
Would breed such corruption
From The Sky!”

From The Sky

Down
Descending on those
Who would lack conviction to face
What has long been overdue
We spread our wings to fly
Forever high
Falling from the sky
To claim their lives
Spread our wings to fly
Forever high
Pray for redemption
Soon you’ll see
We are determined to make you bleed
Your pleas will not be heard
So prepare for eternal suffering
Suffering
Suffering
Suffering
We spread our wings to fly
Forever high
Falling from the sky
To claim their lives
Spread our wings to fly
Forever high

Interlude IV - Drakketh
01:04
|

|
Battle rages as far as the eye can see
Elves striking down hooded figures
Only for them to rise once more
Standing on opposing sides
Morrigale faces the once lauded hero of all
Nox Abbarath
His cold eyes strike into her
A fear yet unknown
She watches in terror as he begins
To speak a terrible truth
“We have worshiped false idols
For far too long
Now he shall bring an end
To the Celestial Gods!”

This is the time of rebirth
Deny Mortality
This is a life Undying
I rise once more
To eviscerate celestial beings
That believe they’re above me
The time of reckoning has come
And none shall be spared from oblivion
My lifeblood forged from those
Who cursed my name
And plotted against me
Now they shall all know fire
This is the time of rebirth
Deny Mortality
This is a life undying
Prophecy turned to reality
The night reflecting my spite
For a world so pathetic and weak
You fight for it over and over
Never confirming an owner
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
So when destruction calls
You rally together to struggle against it
But it will all mean nothing
Your sense of pride is just a lie
It’s so intangible
Betray the secrets I covet
End thy hope
And when all will bleed upon the dirt
I will find comfort in this curse
Struggle from damnation
Swallowing all that you hold dear
So believe I vow to erase entirely
All that you love and all you see
It will all mean nothing
This is the time of rebirth
Deny Mortality
This is a life undying
This is the time of rebirth
Deny Mortality
This is a life undying
Prophecy turned to reality
The night will swallow the sun
Return from whence they came
This is a life undying
And only I reign
This is the time of rebirth
Deny Mortality
This is a life undying
Prophecy turned to reality
The night will swallow the sun
Return from whence they came
This is a life undying
And only I remain

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.
