Tyler Goswick Love this band and album! freaking epic atmospheric/symphonic Black metal at it's finest! piggybacking off of what whitewolff said, this album I can listen on repeat all day and not get tired of it! if guys have shirts or patches I would love buy them. Favorite track: In That Hour (When My Soul Longs for Oblivion).

whitewolff This is the first black metal record I've heard that I can literally play on repeat for 5+ hours and still not want to change the CD out, or want to switch the atmosphere up at all this is one of those records that will hopefully (but probably wont) get anywhere near the recognition this deserves. This is a true masterpiece. Borne by the wings of Angels is my favorite track on this album and I cant wait till the next album. now I want a t-shirt. Favorite track: Borne by the Wings of Angels.

Horns Upon a Haunted Throne The darkness dwells deep inside of me, A shattered lie in the mirror, The moonlit sky seems to linger above me, A hollow world beneath its glare, My soul is broken, a flash of red, Self-inflicted scars beneath my skin, My lungs are burning with this poison air, Condemned to dwell amongst the damned. The time has come on this blackest night, Horns upon my haunted throne will rise, I lost my way and gave in to hate, To appease the beast who usurped the throne, Midnight descends upon the chamber hall, And I wonder how far I might go, To see an end to the dying light, And the demon that haunts the world. There is no Satan or God, Only this empty heart, Lost with the hopeless who die to escape the pain, There is something growing inside, And deep within the broken I know, The need to overthrow the horns upon the throne, In the mirror I see her face, The child who needs me to be whole, But still I am bound to this haunted throne. Break, the chains that bind me, Take my life, it just won’t heal, I can’t see her face in my nightmare, strike me down, Break, the chains that bind me, Take the life inside me, I can’t escape the shadow of these horns, I must be free. There is no Satan or God, Only this empty heart, Lost with the hopeless who die to escape the pain, In the mirror I see her face, The child who needs me to be whole, But still I am bound to the haunted throne. Break, the chains that bind me, Take my life, it just won’t heal, I can’t see her face in my nightmare, strike me down, Break, the chains that bind me, Take the life inside me, I can’t escape the shadow of these horns, I must be free. The horns remain upon my haunted throne, And midnight descends upon the land, Bound to my demon king once again, And yet the mirror haunts my soul, The time has come on this blackest night, Summon the sword, a flash of red, Still my lungs burn in the poison air, I must rise up from the dead.

Borne by the Wings of Angels I looked to the sky, but darkness covered all I could see, I cried out to die, but silence only echoed for me, No reasons why, my pain was honed by lack of meaning, My demons lie, waiting for the end of all things. I lost myself along the way, A road littered with my pain, You came and lit the fire in me, You came on angel wings. Looked to the sky, a star so distant but still I can see, A life remains, it echoes in me calming my dreams, One became three, together we remain through all things, And night persists, but light remains until we sleep. I fear myself when I’m alone, This darkness consumes all my soul, But these three lit the fire in me, Three came on angel wings, But these three lit the fire in me, Three came on angel wings, I lost myself along the way, A road littered with my pain, You gave me meaning once again, You came on angel wings. I watched the sky, the morning light breaks the darkness, Look in my eyes, and see the future not yet written, The road is long, and darkness will haunt our way through, We will remain, together borne on angel wings.

My Heart Made of Glass I can’t carry on, I burnt wings that bore me home, A lonely place, lies, my only comfort, Torn, a broken shell, two pieces with no place, Where I can dwell, at the end of this road. Oh, my heart is made of stone, silence brings me home, I’m broken and alone, Oh, my heart is made of stone, silence brings me home, I’m broken and alone. Broken, alone, made of glass, My heart is made of stone, This silence brings me home, I’m broken, alone. Bring me back to that place, Where I can be whole again, One step closer to the edge, I won’t make it home again. Oh, death take me now, I have no more strength to go on, Broken alone, silence forever goes on, I lost all my hope, and nothing will dry my tears, Weak and ashamed, alone till the end, I must persevere, my world belongs only to me, Strong till the end, together again, This heart made of glass won’t break nor bend, I will carry through, together again. Bring me back to that place, Where I can be whole again, One step closer to the edge, I won’t make it home again. I can’t carry through, I burnt wings that bore me home, A lonely place, lies, my only comfort, Torn, a broken shell, two pieces with no place, Where I can dwell, at the end of this road. Oh, my heart is made of stone, silence brings me home, I’m broken and alone, Oh, my heart is made of stone, silence brings me home, I’m broken and alone. Broken, alone, made of glass, My heart is made of stone, This silence brings me home, I’m broken, alone.

In That Hour (When My Soul Longs for Oblivion) Death stands against me, a menacing grin on its face, I was weak in the past but tonight I must stand o’er the grave, Sword in my hand I must challenge the horns on my throne, The day is upon me, I must overcome or be lost once again. I must stand strong, I must leave my fear in the ground, I must be free, from the haunted throne of the king, I must overcome, the silence that is my home, I must believe, in me and my angels wings. In that hour of darkness when my soul does long for reprieve, In that hour of madness when nothing makes sense to me, In that hour forgotten, summon the strength of my will, Once more against all, darkness awaits if I fall. Oblivion take me, my soul has no strength to go on, I tire of the fight and long for the silence in death, When I’m broken alone, this heart made of stone has no hope, I must draw strength again, usurp the horns on my throne. I must stand strong, I must leave my fear in the ground, I must be free, from the haunted throne of the king, I must overcome, the silence that is my home, I must believe, in me and my angels wings. In that hour of darkness when my soul does long for reprieve, In that hour of madness when nothing makes sense to me, In that hour forgotten, summon the strength of my will, Once more against all, darkness awaits if I fall. Oh, I must fight, for that place, Where we will be at peace, together again, Oh, I must stand, against it all, My angels can’t carry me alone, If I must crawl, the final mile, So be it if it will finish this road, I can’t fall, myself and defeat can’t coexist, I will stand at the final hour. I must stand strong, I must leave my fear in the ground, I must be free, from the haunted throne of the king, I must overcome, the silence that is my home, I must believe, in me and my angels wings. In that hour of darkness when my soul does long for reprieve, In that hour of madness when nothing makes sense to me, In that hour forgotten, summon the strength of my will, Once more against all, darkness awaits if I fall.

I Pray for Flames Ice cold rain enraged, I pray for flames, Fuck this world, incinerate pain, Ashes fall from God’s face, pray for flames, Tear down their castle walls, put them to the sword, Will we grieve at the end? My black soul crumbles, smothered by this darkness, In my dreams I prayed for flames. I dream of a world in flames. A plague upon the earth, A prayer, conjured forth from darkness, We will grieve, my soul it weeps inside. Let nothing grow upon the earth, Generations reap what they deserve, A prayer conjured forth from darkness, We will grieve, my soul it weeps inside. Darkness festers within my soul left to die, This world has shattered my pride, The horns upon my throne still thrive, My haunted life must die. In my weakness, I prayed for the end, Am I lost in madness, am I still sane? This prayer, conjured forth by darkness, The angels weep from their sundered heaven, Let nothing grow upon the earth, Generations reap what they deserve, A prayer conjured forth from darkness, We will grieve, my soul it weeps inside. Like a boy lost beneath the waves, Fickle dreams give way to bitter memories, Would I stand upon my angels’ graves? That which gave me hope once before the end of days, Would I stand upon my angels’ graves? That which gave me hope once before the end of days. Once more into the darkening abyss, I must stand and face my haunted throne, With a heart of glass, on my angels’ wings, This is my final hour. My shame, the horns upon the throne, My shame, I prayed for flames. Ice cold rain enraged, I pray for flames, Fuck this world, incinerate pain, Ashes fall from God’s face, pray for flames, Tear down their castle walls and put them to the sword, Will we grieve at the end? My black soul crumbles, smothered by this darkness, In my dreams I prayed for flames. I dream of a world in flames
