lyrics

Enveloping freeze
God's failure manifest
Endless night has arrived
In it there's no light at all
Realized fates
All that's left to do is die
There's no escape
There is only the void

In vain
You prayed
That this wouldn't be the end
Darkness
Has come
Anaxarchus' final gift

The voidsbane turned talons and gave light a chance
The prophet Anaxarchus used his diamond
Summoned the dragon to bring his revenge,
Delivered the endless night
The endless night

Lives are fading
There's no hope left
Just the embrace
Of nothingness

Every beating heart ceased
Every story erased
Somewhere in the void
It all starts again oh!

When on high the heaven had not been named,
Firm ground below had not been called by name,
Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter,
(And) Mummu*–Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a single body;
No reed hut had been matted, no marsh land had appeared,
When no gods whatever had been brought into being,
Uncalled by name, their destinies undetermined—
Then it was that the gods were formed within them.

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Darkness”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
