lyrics

Mausoleum statuary
That once were living men
Adorn the gateway to
The Sisters' putrid den

All who have dared to trespass
They have yet to return
They roam these ghastly halls
Frozen by what they've learned

Fight against the truth
Bring me their heads
End their awful reign
Sisters of dread

I see inside her everything that I hate
Black cloud of nothingness and uncaring fate

Crown of vipers
Throne of skulls

Her mask of death
A cursed veil
I fight her influence to no avail

They'd stop your heart
The things I've seen
Upon the countenance of the Gorgon queen

Each emerald lock a serpent
Mouth rimmed with dripping fangs
Held in her stony gaze
I start to slow and seize

My every move surrounds me
In a prison made of stone
Retaliation for
Trying to take the throne

I can see the truth
Mankind is doomed
The universe is cold
I feel it in my soul

I see inside her everything I despise
A swirling void of chaos behind her eyes

Crown of vipers
Throne of skulls

Her mask of death
A cursed veil
I fight her influence to no avail

They'd stop your heart
The things I've seen
Upon the countenance of the Gorgon queen

There lies in her beauty a truth so cold
It saps the spirit of the brave and the bold
I see oblivion in her eyes
The last spark of hope within me dies

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
