lyrics

They fear to speak my name
They worship in silence and shame
Spilling blood of black-skinned beasts
Their heads bowed in penitent pain

A crust of earth torn asunder
Fulfill my wicked desires
I drag the innocent under
To a realm of endless black fire

Once you enter my domain
Things will never be the same
Taste of the crimson seed

Departs with the end of fall
Prosperity withering
It hardens this bitter soul

My color returns anew
As winter melts into spring
But I can't reclaim all you stole

My fleet-footed son
Undo what has been done

Beneath the earth I flew
Trying to get to you
Sister can't you see I'm here to set you free

No I will not go
My home beneath shadow
Brother can't you see this was meant for me

The allure of the power
Every beginning an end
Corrupted virtue devoured
Beneath the earth I prepare to ascend

My color returns anew
As winter melts into spring
But I can't reclaim all you stole

Departs with the end of fall
Prosperity withering
It hardens this bitter soul

The ruby stain
Her time will come again
The goddess of death
Meets you when you've drawn your last breath

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Facepalming Panda
