Crushed through the might of an indifferent being
Spilling outwards - lifeforms and energy
Walking slowly towards nothing, unaware of the suffering idling within
Brutality takes hold of me, filled with hatred
Curiously wandering and gazing up into the empty space where the heavens should be
I seek the land of the dead to relish in fear a need for this spite
Blood comes forth to eat the last thread of fate
Beauty has died
Hollows set in over the stars...array from beyond
Fire rips through a tear in our time
Simple requests of living are met with hostility
My gaze locks with all savagery, barely existing as puddles of gore
I seek the land of the dead - its rusted gates beckon to me
I'm welcomed into my new hospice to serve death
Nightmares of life foster for me
I've finished my journey to die alone
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
This is the band's first full album, an excellent work with songs that conveys a very deep atmosphere, when I heard this material for the first time I could see that a lot of good things were to come! andreyferraz
