Foul is the sin as feat left undone
Words belied by deeds no grace will atone
Are you not your father's son
Hence talons are fashioned in your crown
Woe sworn on visage adored
Woe sworn upon sheathed sword
Woe sworn and no longer ignored
Throns circling your platine reward
So the blame was yours and yours alone
Lies for child mundane is yet treason
Are you not your mother's son
Hence talons are fashioned in your crown
Woe sworn on visage adored
Woe sworn upon sheathed sword
Woe sworn and no longer ignored
Throns circling your platine reward
Woe sworn on visage adored
Woe sworn upon sheathed sword
Woe sworn and no longer ignored
Crown sharpend in cold ashen forge

Where Waning Winds Lead
04:27

Away flows the hourglass sand
She wields on her hands
Away flew the spirit tied to the land
Dies the elan on her dance
Away, the whispers in reveries
Leaves with wind they breath
Away, faith-sealed old memories
Grief and fire in dreams
Where waning winds may lead
Howling the storm wails weak
Dark is now shades of bleak
Gone is the zeal, fading vivacity
Where waning winds may lead
Lost is the fate, promised in prophecy
Grief and fire in dreams
Where waning winds may lead
Away, the whispers in reveries
Leaves with wind they breath
Away, faith-sealed old memories
Grief and fire in dreams
Away, the whispers in reveries
Leaves with wind they breath
Away, faith-sealed old memories
Grief and fire in dreams
Where waning winds may lead
Howling the storm wails weak
Dark is now shades of bleak
Gone is the zeal, fading vivacity
Where waning winds may lead
Lost is the fate, promised in prophecy
Grief and fire in dreams
Where waning winds may lead
Surcease the stir of the seven wheels
What greed once sowed is ripe for child to reap
So dies the light, in hearths frost now creeps
So dies the light, we fall in dreamless sleep
Gone is the zeal, fading vivacity
Where waning winds may lead
Lost is the fate, promised in prophecy
Grief and fire in dreams

Ascension Pyre

Rise, one as chaos majesty
Entwined... shadow and fire
One to voice defiance
Legions heed
Zenith of light, Nadir of dark
Entwined... shadow and fire
Red flame, red sand, red dawn... Seth!
Hear suns demand
Wind shaped in words
Flow shifting sand
In tones of crimson rebirth
See stars aligned draped in flames
Rebellion divine, arise, reborn to reign
Rise, one as skein of all fates
Typhon... born from pyre
Stir halcyon, calm severe, winds between
Slithering exiled vehemence
Typhon... born from pyre
Resurrection, incarnation
Black rage, black storm, black god... Ascend!
Hear slaves harangue
Their defiant words
Shifting from divine to man
In tales returning to earth
What once was balance
Archaic serene
Hear storms advance
Song reborn unseen

Shadow Hearth

As life ever was
In trails you retrace
Stream never pause
New dawn chase
Heart shedding ashes white
Furnace rimmed in frost
Devoid of searing bright
Brim they never crossed
Fall sundered ways to seek your shadow hearth
Soul-deep in dark
Cast sorrows forth and they shall depart
Unless dawn proves us scarred
Pathways worn deep
By many or none
Yet past only weeps
Passing of one
Casting tails unveiled
Silhouettes besieged
Retreating vulpine shades
All borders breached
Fall sundered ways to seek your shadow hearth
Soul-deep in dark
Cast sorrows forth and they shall depart
Unless dawn proves us scarred
Fall sundered ways to seek your shadow hearth
Soul-deep in dark
Cast sorrows forth and they shall depart
Unless dawn proves us scarred

Non Serviam

Dawn retreat as skyline comes alive
Upon this field not hundred yards wide
None can be spared, revenge they will swear
Swarming in thousands reeking despair
Countless wars none worth elegies
Triumphs fade to breeze
Sword of yours claiming your demands
Treaty will wash the blood from your hands
So be it for vengeance, be it for land
Your cause will hate consecrate
Countless lords none worth serving
Faith for the long dead king
Will you wield your vice
And shape it as virtue
For life to entice
"In peace, sons bury their fathers
In war, fathers bury their sons"
So respect no blood, witness no birth
Ties to the flesh have none
Bow to no god, buried by world
Be done and be gone
Countless paths none woth journey
Until your trail ends to sea

Aubade

Are you afraid?
Are you ashamed?
The light has died...
Your last goodbye.
You'll never know how it feels
To lose yourself, to be complete
And no-one else will take the blame -
It's mine to bear.
"Come, play with me!"
...And so did he.
Beyond your trust
Hurt you I must.
You'll never know how it feels
To lose yourself, to be complete
And no-one else will take the blame -
It's mine to bear.
My body's tired of losing you
The drug of lust you withdrew
Tonight I had no choice
To leave you breathing...
You'll never know how it feels
To lose yourself, to be complete
And no-one else will take the blame -
It's mine to bear.
You'll never know how it feels
To lose yourself, to be complete
And no-one else will take the blame -
It's mine to bear.

Hundred Shores Distant
05:55

Sail between three winds of war
One leads you home while others crave more
Have I conquered the shame?
Do they now sing my name?
Ride forth my son, slain as your guide
Ride to match your fathers stride
Was I worth it all?
Was I? Dusk I can't recall
Beyond pristine ways
Heaving sea, temerity, storm hope away
Sail sorrows grey
Drifting astray, solace frail as moonlight ray
Sail beneath the vanguard of sky
They might have fallen but still hold the light
Am I part of this land?
Am I the last of my clan?
Beyond pristine ways
Heaving sea, temerity, storm hope away
Sail sorrows grey
Drifting astray, solace frail as moonlight ray
Sun silver, rain spear
Waves shattering white
Winds sigh cold...
What mercy dark did hide
Winds sigh cold...
Wake in world veiled white
Winds sigh cold...
Where seared shores reside
Winds sigh cold...
Sheltered vernal fright
Winds sigh cold...
What mercy dark did hide
Winds sigh cold...

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 6 fans who also own “As the Path Unfolds...”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun
supported by 6 fans who also own “As the Path Unfolds...”
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here.

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.
