I felt the cursed ground, rive beneath the wounded stars,
A chasm forged in dread and disarray.
The fall, steep and endless,
inverse of Heaven's law,
Beckoned me into its cavernous jaws.
This vision, embodied,
Gazed straight into my soul.
Strain the skin, bare the veins
Rot them all away.
This flesh, a withered shell,
Wearing thin and drying out,
Shed it all. (Let marrow seep through bone.)
This vision, embodied,
Gazed straight into my soul.
This mortal, leaning t'ward the void,
I offer unto thee.

I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
