And the angel showed me a river
With the waters of life
Clear as crystal
Flowing from the throne of God
And of the Lamb
It Flowed down the centre
On each side of the river
Grew a tree of life
Bearing twelve crops of fruit
With a fresh crop each month
And the leaves of the tree were for the sins of every nation
No longer shall there be a curse on anything
For the throne of God and of the
Lamb shall be there
And his servants shall worship him
And they shall see his face and
His name shall be upon their foreheads
And there shall be no night
No need for lamp and sun
For the Lord God shall shine upon them
And they shall reign for ever and ever
... And they shall reign forever and ever

Return!
A shadow flickers overhead
Whilst clouds are dragged like palms upon the knife
Invoked under guest star
I am he who is born of the skies, infernal
Phantom!
Led murmuration of the dead
The harbinger of daybreak and grieving
A storm of black fire
I am king and my throne is of splinters, eternal
From under wilds of wind
A vacuum signalling
Re-birth of the southern king
A storm is raging in
The mind of he who sought the heavens
In stars above
Return as blood seeps
(your hands are cupped in chalice)
Return and drink deep
(and drink deep)
For an eternity you've known me
Torrent of fluttering
Oblivion in his wings
Unhallowed, the black crow king
Strange Doorways beckon me
From uttered liturgy
Thy servant of calamity
Return!
A shadow flickers overhead
Whilst clouds are dragged like palms upon the knife
Invoked under guest star
I am he who is born of the skies, infernal
Phantom!
Led murmuration of the dead
The harbinger of daybreak and grieving
A storm of black fire
I am king and my throne is of splinters, eternal
As blood seeps
(your hands are cupped in chalice)
Return
(and drink deep)
For an eternity you've known me
Return!

The Viper's Knot
04:25
|
|||
|
Breaching calm of waters still
Ripple tides through rivers slake the seas
Hissing, recoiled the vipers knot
Writhing and feasted entangled in (rot)
Reaching out for nameless shores
With no star to guide thee onward
Your vessel is lost
In the river
Where the sun never shined
There was no light to witness
The flow of all life
In the river
Where no corners defined
And nothing is quenched here
At the end of all light
We four kings of Babylon are
Sent to usurp the heavens above
O’ star of morning, star of might
Wash me
In the river
Where the sun never shined
There was no light to witness
The flow of all life
Your life is poured, a tumbling waterfall
Into the darkness, weightless
Your light is forced, wander into the dusk
Fall into darkness, alone
Forced down to the river below
With no one to witness the end
Drown in thy serpent’s mire
Crown adorned scale and wing
The cycle devouring everything

Silk & Shadows
04:09
|

|
The silence is deafening now
A spectacle! A clattering
Of fanfare for brass and bedlam
The bellowing of horns
The thunderous procession
Leads the king to me
And I shall lead communion
It’s splendorous
Grasping light through shade
As bones evade the grave
Our rapture in cascade
As we harvest gloom and cull the grain
An opium scent of fever dream
A blur of flames to guide
Every coin would sing
And all secrets be known
Returned to thee upon the banks
And from this side we depart
Grasping light through shade
As bones evade the grave
Our rapture in cascade
As we harvest gloom
We cut our names in silk and shadow
And slake our thirst in gold and wisdom
We cast out fear for meaning in this life
And reach beyond the veil of it’s storm

The waters hush to a deathly stillness
Reflecting light in vivid fantasy
Softly treading the banks
You brush beyond the reeds
Wade in deep
Every footstep paints in colourful reverie
The world breathes with me
As i pass through the river
Beyond
Reborn
Oh sweet son
I mourn your cause
For your burden lies heavy
With remorse
The cross you bare
The loss you mourn
The light you buried deep
Will guide you on
Reborn!
In endless light we burn
Heavenwards!
I guide thy sword for paradise
No fear could take the heart of me
For i am washed in fire

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur.
