lyrics

My family banner hangs proudly from the rafters
I am the lord of all I survey
Duty bound to govern this noble kingdom
And keep the depraved outsiders at bay

Cast them from my sight
Partake not of their rites
Forbid this worship
Make them free from sin

Reject the warnings of the unsighted seer
Your blood will pour out and defile the woods
I do not fear the perversions of the new god
I'll salt the earth where his revelers stood

This man of sorrows
Marked for tragedy
Fear not the tyranny of the oppressor
This frenzy shall set you free

Cast them from my sight
Partake not of their rites
Forbid this worship
Make them free from sin

Sparagmos
A tearing
A grisly sacrifice
Our vengeance
Unsparing
This man has paid the price

Sparagmos
A rending
Joyful delirium
Ecstasy
Unending
We are one

The God of Many Names
He Whose Breath is Fire
Frees mortals from their pains
From bondage, from empire

I protect those who do not belong
So drink my sacrament and sing my songs
His blood shall defile the woods
I'll salt the earth where his kingdom stood

Tear him limb
From limb (From limb)
From limb (From limb)
From limb (From limb)
From limb (From limb)
Make him free from sin
Tear him limb from limb

Make him free from sin
Tear him limb from limb

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
