BAND NAME: Vikarbyrgi
GENRE: Unblack Metal
STATUS: Changed name
(Active under new name, Hesychast)
LOCATION: United States (Ohio / Indiana / Lynchburg, Virginia)
Formed by Ethan. Scott joined later.
Named after a town in the Faroe Islands that was suddenly abandoned for unknown reasons. The last citizens left in 2003. Ethan chose it for the "related nature imagery", but Scott interpreted it as "being the flight that we who surrender to Christ are to make from our old way of living; suddenly, inexplicably."

This was never officially released, or even formally put together. The band never got beyond the few demo recordings on Myspace, before they changed their name. Thus, it's unclear what exactly is on the bootlegged CD version. Presumably, just the Myspace songs? Not sure though. For the record, the band was completely unaware of this CD until I messaged them about it on Facebook.
Miscellaneous:
Also released on Myspace:
The Kingdom Ours Remaineth 5:31
This song is mentioned online:
Avaricious Eternal Dusk, track length/lyrics unknown
+ they may have had a full release with this name?

These lyrics were used for a draft song. I don't know if that song is any of the three mentioned above, or if it's a completely different song. May be called "Limit"?
His heart was true.
He wished for more than his five (talents)
In order to return more for his Master.
So he toiled and sweated and bled
Until he was unrecognizable;
Yet he could no add a second to the day
Nor an inch to his height.
At last his knees gave way,
And he fell on his face before his Master.
"Why is it so futile for me to try
To acquire more to give to You?"
In the silence came the reply:
"Had you any more,
You would not be where I want you to be.
There is still much to do here.
Be content to do as much as you can
With what you have,
And I will be just as pleased.
I see the purity of your heart,
But do not give the devil a foothold in this."

+ Same story with these lyrics, may be called "Proof"? +
Mutually negating lines of evidence
Circular arguments
The mind cannot fight against the heart
The words that seek to verify the unexplainable
The unseen of the eye, by tangible means
Fall
The words that seek to nullify experiences
Wrought in silence, in solitude
More real than anything else
Fall
What better way to test a spirit
Than to live by it and watch changes unfold?
Unimaginable wisdom
To become self-aware
The proof is becoming like Him.
