lyrics

Verse 1
A torrent of violence
Followed me into peril
With fists clenched in despair
I accepted the eventuality
Yet always… destiny scurries me away
Before death finds me

Men cower in my presence
As a power harnessed from the void
Channels their fears
And their inner desires !

Pre-Chorus
Atomic ripples
Through the particle of god
Imbued with the will of man
Distort the fabric of time

Chorus
The cradle of life
Lies depleted
After aeons of destruction

Wracked with ambition
Of men who comprehend
Barely beyond their frugal emotions

Now I understand men
For who they are
The essence of their mortality

I see life as my prison
As I lay shackled
To this reality of time

Verse 2
The forebears of time
Conquered the realms of men
Their illustrious fire raged
Through every reality

The fallen gods
Preached, their faiths of war
Forgotten eclipsed by history
They repent in their graves

The kinetic nature of time
Conceals the portal to a multiverse
Restless… without answers
I yearn to meet my maker

Spoken Words
Antithetical to nature as I know
My conscience defiles life
As this fear of the uncertain
I cannot contain

Land of Weeping Souls

Rogga Johansson, who has contributed to this album, is also a part of Paganizer whose latest release has been put out on the international leg of the label. Pure old school death metal glory. Darkrypt

Immortal and Vile (Death Metal)
by PRIMITIV (Mumbai, India)

This is heaving, crushing death metal with amazing vocals. Check it out if that sounds good to your ears. It sure will feel good - its surreal heaviness will make sure of that! Darkrypt

Amputheatre (Brutal Death/Grind)
by GUTSLIT (Mumbai, India)

GUTSLIT are the finest proponents of cranium crushing death metal mixed with a bit of grind. Their new album is the epitome of all that's good with this modern style of death metal-meets-grind. Darkrypt

Carne mutilata alla deriva

Italian Black Metal. A one man, Chaos Luciferi, project. Raw & melodious & melancholic all the way. I would say this is Chaos' best so far! Fantastic melodies & atmospheres & new ideas! This is a concept album with an entire story flowing through it - some lyrics would be nice... :) Highly recommended!!! bmurator
