Fall
Wretched Star
In congress with famine and war
Call down the Devil’s hammer
To pound and dismantle and crash upon St. Peter’s door.
the age of Aphelion
Redeem us in the sight of the lunar eye
Bring forth the age of Aphelion
Unending winter of absent light
For I have witnessed
The fall of man
For I was promised
An end to all
Welcome the child of silent birth
Torn from the womb
The blood of the whore
Called from the lips of the ancient ones.
First kings of the earth. The rulers of ash.
The age of the slave is a fleeting one.
Flush with disease, the weakness of prey.
Aphelion Rites
For I have witnessed
the fall of man
For I was promised
An end to all.
Welcome the child of silent birth
Torn from the womb
The blood of the whore
Called from the lips of the ancient ones
First kings of the earth, the rulers of ash.

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
