Rise 05:33
lyrics

Rise The hope of ashes Now stand among the damned Long winter begat by flame A betraying sun Wrought by the hands of men And I am become death Staring into the sun Never seeing again Going blind from the raging light Could there be life again? Crawling out of the ash Spreading delicate wings to rise What is a universe without an audience? Rise and live Touch the stars As glorious fools

Fire and Pain 06:22
lyrics
buy track
We walk through the fields For the sons we’ll never see In agony we prepare the slaughter here In every hand and hair Fear Sweat cloying thick gun smell In the air Marching on and on We tread upon the ground Beating down everything that lived before No one can stop us now We must stay this course Everything we’ve known is gone Make widows and orphans Hold this line Hold the line Fire Pain Run til you bleed Turn and fight, stay on your Feet to die Spending your Life for this useless defeat Feed the war fresh blood Young souls march into the flood And I stand by screaming in the rain As all around me, fire and pain

Empire Dead 06:25
lyrics
buy track
Alone This dead place Echoes Ghosts and shadow Gloom Where we stood Now empty No one left to see Our doom These skies to fall Empire dead Empire dead Fall to ashes Raped souls of men Dead dog in bloom Worm’s meat we all Dying too soon This empty womb A grave Silent as the crypt in which we lie To sleep eternal And face what dreams may come When the sky came down And the sunrise failed The trees all fell Children old and frail Dust and dry bones Carpet their homes We shuffled on We shuffled off When the sky came down And the sunrise failed The trees all fell Empire dead We shuffled on We shuffled off one by one We each will fall Bare bodkin’s kiss Nose to the stone This last alone

Gallows Prayer 07:23
lyrics
buy track
When the war rends the wise And hope is lost Find me here in my cell A coward’s lair I weep for our city They scale the walls With hooks and rope Strong bodies made to kill The best of you Run out to fight Flashing steel, The blood a river And I alone I weep for our city The greatest choice: what to die for. though in chains, I would do it for you Hear me now; this, a gallows prayer I recall wind blown in her hair Take me down, still my beating heart Cut me down

about

“…there's a sense of fruitful experimentation to each of the songs. Far from being a one-note style worshipper, Makuch seems to be taking pleasure in finding ways of fusing non-obvious aspects of different doom strains together”
-The Burning Beard

“I was struck by the thoughtfulness of the songwriting: odd time signatures, unusual guitar leads, impressive solos (on bass as well as guitar)”
-From Beyond

“Each instrument is played well as you get memorable riff after memorable riff, thick bass lines, solid drumming and to top it all off you get vocals that transition from unearthly growls to gritty gravel filled cleans. When everything comes together…you get a sound that is dark, dense and unique”
-Cadaver Garden
