O, we begin this tale upon a starved earth
which centuries have proved of worth
Defend this land with grand honor and pride
we shan't let it fall to their hands
Men with forked tongues leer towards our home
They offer riches, we spill their blood!
Beyond these walls they shall never set foot
They seek control, we show them death
These walls will never fall
This tale will never die
This land will always be ours
These walls will cease to crumble
Frozen in time
Sealed in the past
The empire is destined to fall
The serpent will devour its tail
We will be consumed
They will see the end
Beasts and steel under their domain
Forces they cannot contain
Confusion reigns the air as fear strikes their horde
Our brave home may rest...
For now...
Set us free!
These walls will never fall
This tale will never die
This land will always be ours
These walls will cease to crumble
Frozen in time
Sealed in the past
These walls will never fall
This tale will never die
This land will always be ours
These walls will cease to crumble
Frozen in time
Sealed in eternity

In this profound solitude
Faint whispers coat the scenery
Like soft exhales from a fading storm
An afterlife in this realm
Entwined with my parallel existence
The selfless spirit who brings me here
A gentle touch upon ravaged wounds
Sold my soul for a moment here
To spend an eternity longing to remain
Driven to madness by loss
A gentle touch upon ravaged wounds
Sing to me with your gentle tears...

In the Wake of War
03:13
|
|||
|
From this barren landscape our story will be told
In the wake of war it is recalled
As we showered the foliage with an empire's blood
We will tear them from their thrones
From a distance we see vast legions
In formation they stand
We call to arms the tribes
Let the War of Fire commence
Headstrong against the tyrants
May our wills proves strong
Headstrong against an empire
May our names live on
And for millennia our struggle will live on
Beyond the codex, beyond the stars

Viriato
05:46
|
|||
|
Saviors have come and gone
Leaders have risen to fall
Empires have crumbled to stone
Wars have spilled false blood
So receive this gift from above
And become one with the gods
Wielding metal
Rebel king of the tribes
Gripping the tyrants by their throats
Wielding metal
A hope for liberty
Purge these legions from our land
Viriato, the rebel rises to power
Defender of tribes, bearer of the flame
One with war, will as strong as stone
Viriato, destroyer of empires

Oestriminis
07:02
|
|||
|
Towards mournful coasts of unfathomable reach
Banished by the venerable ones
Serpentine hordes
Of sanguine lust and savage being
Where the orb of fire journeys
To inhale the mist of the angry sea
Drown his sorrows as a drunkard drowns himself to a new life
Oestriminis, the end of the earth
Oestriminis, displaced from home
Inebriated by ritual
Charmed by the serpent
To worship them still
Self-mutilation
To revel in the wake of a tormented god
Drown themselves
Bathe themselves in tears and blood
Of sanguine lust and savage being

This Beautiful Death
05:16

A field of serenity
Shadowless void
Embrace this fading moment
Grasp this last breath
Hope has failed me
I surrender my will
Free yourself from this heavy burden
Light shines upon your untamed path
Serenading you to let go
Weightless, journey to a new world
O, this journey will be our last
Never forget me [I will be here with you]
O, this voyage will change us
Never forget, memories forever in stone
Entwined with Nature, perfect harmony
Freedom from the grip of existence
Finally, you are free
For once, I am free
O, this journey will be our last
Never forget me [I will be here with you]
O, this voyage will change us
Never forget this beautiful death
O, this journey will be our last
Never forget me, I bid you farewell

The Invader
05:25
|
|||
|
Beneath the masquerade of a clean spirit lies a desperate corpse
Ailing for attention, he beckons blindly for help
He spews venom as his cries go unheard
The poison invades his blood, slowly lingering towards a fragile end
His system will fail, his corpse will burn with the sun
Beneath the ashes of the carrion left behind by the chosen ones
A delusional mind balanced upon the brittle ropes of sanity
Intoxicated by the scent of blood
Breathing the fowl stench of decay
Cry for the defining moment in the end
...as you die again and again
Scream for the final moments, my friend
...as you die again and again and again
The poison invades his blood, slowly lingering towards a fragile end
His system will fail, his corpse will burn with the sun
Beneath the masquerade of a soiled spirit lay a slab of flesh and bone
Rotted, cold, defeated, broken
A mind once strong, now dead
Left as an exemplary feast for the dirt

The Seafaerers' Legend
06:52
|
|||
|
What lies beyond the horizon?
Fathers speak of a land of mist and rain
Green, pure, untouched by man
Its legend embarks through the winds
From atop the tower I can lay eyes upon the distant rock
As it rests in Gaia's splendor
It curiously beckons our people
We shall voyage to uncover new adventure
Hail the sea before your eyes
For it is your home for moons beyond
Into the tempest we sail
The ruthless waves await us
Into the tempest we sail
With our courage in the stars
We risk only life, for legend cradles our souls
These tales tell of men who dared trek these vast seas
Unmoved by currents, unmoved by storms
Into the tempest we sail
To a land that lies beyond
Our names will be lost in time
Our bodies will be lost at sea
Our spirits command the waves
We will guide those who dare cross
Opening passages of discovery across the earth and sea
These tales tell of men who dared trek these vast seas
Unmoved by currents, unmoved by storms
Into the tempest we sail
To a land that lies beyond

Not gonna lie, I don't usually go in for the super composed, melodic flavor of black metal. That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying this release. Gives kinda an Old Man's Child type vibe.

Solid atmospheric black metal. Some amazing tracks, but others fell a little flat for me.

These are some pretty experienced musicians and it shows. What a trip!

Epic folk metal with spectral vocals and churning riffs make for a chilling listen.
