lyrics

Set out at dayspring, homeland behind
Journey of sacrifice
Organic ritual, inexorable drive
Embark upon the hunt
And the quiet stretches under the high sun

Forested vista, arborous sanctum
Travel onward to seclusion
Under cover of shadow lay the portal to the night
Slip into the umbrage and be still

All is no longer as it were, a face so fair
By scattered moonlight framed by strands of fire
Wings unfurl to suffocate, embrace to crush the mind
Fervent maw envelops, condemned

Howls of fiendish laughter resound off the stones
Head of thunder rearing to blacken the firmament
Horns, twisted, eyes of flame, ancient, looming deceit
Lured by the dream, bound to it's world, doomed to burn

Voices on the wind, tortured screams drawing in
Impulse to obey, oath of release
Fatal human form, fated to ruin
Weakened senses destined for the grave

The shadows descend

Dragged through gardens of ash, swirling, noxious mass
Thrown at the feet of the lord of betrayal
The baler grins with glee, dominance complete
"There is no escape. Maggot, scum, you belong to me"

Wallow, for days without end
In the destruction of the self
Feeding the daemons of consequence
Their eager faces await the fall
Sentenced to languish in the filth and decay
And long for a death that will never come

From the dead villages' darkness

supported by 35 fans who also own “Shadows at Dusk”

"... something that is worth sparing some time for, maybe with a glass of whiskey or wine in candlelight shine at night. In simpler words, it is special. Something that can be found only a few times per year and for me personally it is one of the best atmospheric albums of 2014 I have heard yet. Recommended for anyone, as it's quite an easy start for beginners of the genre, yet able to satisfy even the most advanced fans." https://metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=13169 starvynth

It plunges me into an abyss of sound that's both harrowingly dark and profound, a sonic deepness that swallows light and breathes out an engulfing, cathartic darkness. lecassette8
