Warg was a wanderer who traveled far and wide
A drinker of wine and a singer of song with a wench by his side
But his amorous joy would end far too soon
As everything he loved burned away and met its doom
They fell upon his woman and she screamed with all her breath
He watched in horror as they stole her coin then stabbed the bitch to death
His blood burned like venom, too late to save her life
But he indulged in the taking of theirs as he embraced the evil inside
You are never truly free
‘Til you challenge your lot in life
Spit in the face of destiny
And from your back remove the knife
Sieven was the captive of a golden empire
Forced into their bloodsport, but blood was his desire
The arena was his temple and in it he was a god
Gold and glory and the love of the crowd
Filled his every thought
But in one fateful contest he was outnumbered three to one
Betrayed by his profiteering masters who would see his legacy undone
Nearly dead, he roared in defiance, exalted in his rage
And learned the value of freedom as he broke loose from his cage
Ulfr was a sad man who kept time in a bottle
His life held no value as he moved from brothel to brothel
A once proud warrior turned to hedonistic decay
Sinking into an early grave from his heart’s heavy weight
Accused of awful crimes that were never truly done
A witch hunt came to take his life, certain he was the one
A dark metamorphosis saw his sorrow turn to hate
With axe as pen and blood as ink, the berserker re-wrote his fate
We’ve been here before.
We’ve clawed our ways from the jaws of death
and into the purest form of freedom
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
