lyrics

Step into the fold
Immaculate child
Witness and behold
The everlasting fire

Eternally they yearn
Hear their anguish
Forever they will burn
To rot and languish

Taste this hallowed crust
And the red nectar
Proclaim me as your God
Or grieve forever

Take this holy vow
Pledge allegiance
Before me you will bow
Fall to your knees

The colors fade in the October sky
His twilight gleam shines
Oh, it shines so bright...
The truth is shards of our frayed reality
Hear my call
Grant me life in fire

[Solo: Paul]

Blinded are their eyes
They will never claim their mortal ties
And surrender

My father's name a tale
Of their corruption
Against me they will fail
And face destruction

My legions, they await
At my command
Strike them down with hate
By my black hand

Feast within my hall
My insignia draped upon the walls
We will prevail

[Solo: Paul]

Beneath the staircase of salvation rests my blackened gates
Through sacrilegious deeds of hatred shall you find your way
Ignorance fills blinded eyes; the lust to witness the unseen
I am above all of your feeble kind and piteous being

Very late to this, but I'm glad I found it. The very brand of melodic death/doom I savor so much. Soaring leads, haunting riffs, and melancholic vocals. Everything I hold dearest in music. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

This is a good atmos, black, gothic doom band. That female has some nice vocals. I like this because it's different than the rest of my collection. Rich Kinman

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
