An Autumnal Pact
03:58
|

|
dead leaves litter the ground,
dead branches listlessly sway,
I walk alone, through this quiet weald
Nothing stirs the silence
Nothing moves but wind
Nothing to remember
But what could have been
I make this autumnal pact
In these final withering days
'gainst a man-made hellfire
burning all that once was
Nothing stirs the silence
Nothing moves but wind
Nothing to remember
But what could have been
Nothing stirs the silence
Nothing moves but wind
Nothing to remember
But what could have been

White Frost
05:02
|
|||
|
The harbinger of eternal night
A breaker of oaths, on a steed of bone
journeys from another realm.
Fear corrupted as malice,
he seeks his prize
A futile gesture against a fate assured.
At the head of an army of the dead
he rides sword in hand,
bringing death before the great white frost
envelopes this world like all the rest
The white frost
The white frost
It kills the trees and snuffs the flames
It buries the past and brings forth oblivion
Destroyer of worlds, destiny of all life
our final moments are frozen in time
The white frost
The white frost
The white frost
As autumn leaves fade to grey
The white frost
The white frost
The white frost
As autumn leaves fade to grey

Spell of Corruption

What did it cost?
The end of joy
The end of life
What was it worth?
The end of sorrow
The end of strife
Twisted, horrid stillborn creatures
Rotting on the forest floor
The bear goes hungry through the winter
and dies before the thaw of spring
The skulls of the children of birds
never hatched, litter the dens of thieves
corrupted into creatures unworthy of sight
killed by their desperate kin clawing out their eyes
Trees rot from a hidden blight
bored through their ancient rings;
insectoid allegories to our own wretched kind

One final time I traverse into Orion's realm, into these dark woods.
Guide me tree spirits, show me the hidden glen
where gods ancient were worshiped in humanity's forgotten past
I hear nothing but a quiet trickle of water from a nearby stream,
a gentle breeze through the leaves of old trees,
the croak of a hidden raven who knows my purpose here
and grants me my wish
my body is laid to rest among the ancient trees
interred in a tomb of moss within the shrouded grove
of a mighty woodland crypt
In this forest barrow roots grow through my bones,
reclaiming my remains

See You in Hell

See you in hell
can I make you an offer you can't refuse
I kept my eyes on you cause I tell you that you lose
and you can come with me to a place you'll know so well
and I will take you to the very gates of hell
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
I'll see you in hell
Your choice's up then how many sins can be yours
at my kingdom final choice is yours
you can take it any time that you need
next thing I'll borrow all you've got to do is bleed
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
I'll see you in hell
Come with me, I will take you down
to the very depths of your soul
and I'll make you burn
See you
See you in hell
See you
See you in hell
See you in hell
can I make you an offer you can't refuse
I kept my eyes on you cause I tell you that you lose
and you can come with me to a place you'll know so well
like I told you at the very gates of hell
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
See you in hell my friend
I'll see you in hell

Winter Constellation
06:24
|
|||
|
A crackling fire turns to dim embers
as the last warmth fades away
I see the stars of a clear winter night:
the belt of the hunter,
the bear and his kin,
The familiar constellation
This is how I die:
alone, cold, but amongst old friends
enveloped by the winter starscape

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.
