Shadows of Paragon / self-titled (demo, 1 August, 2004, Independent)
Format: CD

1) Gone with the Mist
5:01, lyrics:
Introspection mandatory
step into the light
Tortured soul aching fraction
weeping in a pool of blood
Where will you find your shelter?

Hatred devours your dying soul
Anxiety and anger is taking its toll
Emotions enchained
numbness you feel
Fighting the stab wounds
will they heal?
Crawling back bound
soon you will swoon
Yet stillness is found
in the Saviors wound

Hail to you protector in times of terror
in your fort I can rest assure

Forgiveness is done
Forgiveness complete
Previous sins cease to exist
In the sea of oblivion
past deeds -gone with the mist

Glory to the Lamb on the throne
forever I exalt You
Worthy of our praise are you
forever I extol You

Slave of Lucifer
be fooled no more
Find your freedom
while drifting ashore

Sense divine Presence
Know it is real
Be consumed by healing fire
let the pain out never to return

Rise soldier, get ready
The belt of truth
buckled around your waist
The breast plate of righteousness
in place
The shield of faith
extinguishing all the flames
The sword of the spirit
will chase all demons away

Forgiveness is done
Forgiveness complete
Previous sins cease to exist
In the sea of oblivion
past deeds -gone with the mist

Glory to the Lamb on the throne
forever I exalt You
Worthy of our praise are you
forever I extol You

Creatures of flesh I do not fear
none of them can crush me here
Aware of spirits
vampires of death
Safeguarding me
is my shield of faith

All demons will flee
this presence they cannot see
without shivering endlessly

2) King of the North
3:16, lyrics:
Your presence surrounds me
gives me strength to carry on
I raise my voice in glorification
and bow my knees and praise
I long Oh Lord for your Holy Spirit
Come to me again, again and again

I stand before the throne of God
in awe in front of you
You are my strength and my hope
I praise thee Lord Oh King of the North

To you I come when dark clouds gather upon the nightly sky
You listen and help me in the right hour
Nothing need I fear, for you wander next to me in darkness
and let your light shine upon my path of obscurity

I need not fear when destruction comes
I will laugh at destruction and famine
I will know that my fort is secure
I will come to the grave in full vigour

For you Oh Lord are my strength and my hope
You have ransomed me from death
I have found my peace in you
King of the North

3) Screams of Silence
5:29, lyrics:
My soul is twisted, consumed by filth
When thou art not before me
Without you I am nothing
Unmovable I lay in this spiritual decay
On the uttermost brink of your dominions I dwell
When thou art not before me

Let me se the cherubs gather around your throne
Let me hear that beautiful voice of yours again
Let the winds from the angel wings caress my cheek

Out of the depths I cry out to you
Out of the depths I cry out to you my Lord
When Thou art not before me

Let me hear that beautiful voice of yours
Let the wind from the angel wings caress my cheek
Shatter my frozen heart
Let me feel the drops of blood from your hands upon my soul

Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast
And that Thy hand might be with me
And that thou wouldest keep me from evil
That it may not grieve me

4) And My Tears Are Gone
4:29, lyrics:
Oh Lord close my eyes
and let my head gently rest
My heart is weighed down by grief
and my eyes are filled with tears

Come return to me
Come return, conciliate me
Call on me from your dwelling place
Raise me now out of this despair
I have lived in the shadows of horns for too long
My eyes have been blinded by darkness and tears

My soul longs
Longs for peace
The bitter taste of damnation
has been in the depths of my thoughts for too long

And the cloak of doom has been plaguing my back to this day
No more
I bid thee farewell darkness that kept me awake at night

Come
Come blood of purity
Come and flow down over me
Cover me with the grace of forgiveness
I sleep now in thy arms
Jesus
Like never before I am in safety
my heart is resting in stillness as if on green pastures

Rest forever on my word
Trust that I will catch you

Finally I have taken my first step
into your sphere of love
And my tears are gone

5) Psalm
4:01, lyrics:
Do not rebuke me in Thine anger
nor chasten me in thy wrath
Be gracious to me
for I am pining away

Heal me, for my bones are dismayed
Heal me, my soul is greatly dismayed
I cry out to you my Lord
Return, rescue my soul

For there is no mention of Thee in death
In Sheol who will give Thee thanks?
I am weary with my sighing
Every night I dissolve my sheets with tears
My eyes has wasted away with grief

Thou will hear the cry of the humble
Thou will prepare their hearts
Thou observe trouble and grief
Thou will cause Thine ear to hear
To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed
That man may oppress no more

Heal me, for my bones are dismayed
Heal me, my soul is greatly dismayed
I cry out to you my Lord
Return, rescue my soul

The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping
The Lord has heard my supplication

In peace I will lie down and sleep
For Thou alone, dost make me dwell in safety

1) Parabellum
1:02, lyrics:
In the deep, I find a mirror
reflecting your face;
it haunts me.
Why did you give me these lesson to pass?
I pass on your malice.

2) Repressed Experience
3:55, lyrics:
Voices screaming inside my head,
am I insane, am I even alive?
More than alive, I know I am.
The outside world is absolute
but I live in a multitude of dimensions.
I am beyond reach,
meaningless values don't matter to me.

Darker than the starless night,
I fell their creeping touch.
Swearing to myself:
it was the last time!

"Nothing's left here for you..."
Why won't you just leave me alone?
"...Your filth will last eternally."
Your words will not tangle my mind!
"You will never get rid of us."
I'll sacrifice anything fro just one moment of peace,
for just this moment of peace.
Blood, so beautiful,
razors, my precious key of serenity.
Quiet, finally solitude,
sometimes minutes, sometimes hours
before my fiend returns.
This moment of peace is worth any pain.
There are many ways to torture oneself.
Razors - cutting deep into my flesh.

Some try to understand,
try to figure me out.
But my hands are tied,
I can only tell so much.
"You may not tell them our secrets..."
I may not talk about the voice, the demons!
"...Or we will torture you."
My filth will last forever!
"There is no hope for you."
Apathy - the fruit of repressed experience.
In my dreams, it keeps on haunting me.

My razors, precious blood.
Why won't serenity endure?
My blood, the one thing pure about me,
it gives just one moment of peace.
Is there blood stronger than mine?
Is there peace that will last?
A peace where voices make no difference?
"You may not seek that blood,
depend on us or you will surely die."
Is there blood stronger than mine?
Is there peace that will last?

3) The Ocean of Inane Thoughts
5:10, lyrics:
This live shows no mercy,
selfish emptiness and death is all it offers.
There is a place where I want to wander,
a place without confusion.
A place where I gain control over the nothingness
the nothingness that devours my pitiful soul.
Suffocating my will to be alive.
The hollowness screaming in my face,
not leaving regardless
of how loudly I scream back.

he voice reminds of my worthlessness.
I know despite the lies is speaks the truth.
I live, although in some way I'm dead.
My struggle in neither against human flesh and blood,
nor against the forces of the unseen world.
The battle is my own, and my strength fades,
I carry myself on my shoulders.

Inner peace cannot be found in this physical world.
A man can live his whole life with pleasure
but when life has reached he end of the line
you must ask yourself what purpose life had.

Over and over the lies shatter my thoughts.
Was I meant to live here on the brink of madness?
I pass it on to You.

There is a place where I want to wander,
a place without confusion.
A place where You are in control.
There is a name I whisper over this dark ocean,
a name that gives me peace.
(1 Pet. 1:18-19)

4) Fear of Being Forever Lost
3:57, lyrics:
Time has come for renewal.
I urgently long for an altered situation.
Only chained to my solitude
there is serenity in my insecurity.
A fatal stillness in silence after the abuse,
long enough have I rested in the dark,
Silently cried out all pain,
reached out my had for kindness
but dreading rejection.

Was I reaching for false hopes?
Was I waiting for human goodness
although all I had seen was human wickedness?
Was I closing the door for approval?

I hid in the fear of being lost forever
and chose to slowly fade.
I swam toward the bottom of my sea of self pity,
filled my lungs with deadly water from my past.
I swam deeper when someone tried to pull me up,
sacrifice myself in fear of drowning the one who cared.
I longed for an altered situation
but human kindness I feared the most
I expected even more wickedness

God I know that You were always there.
Only Your thoughtfulness kept me alive
during my darkest hours.

Was I reaching for false hopes?
Was I waiting for human goodness
although all I had seen was human wickedness?
Was I closing the door for approval?

Sometime I wish You would have let me die.
Still I knew, that You offer life in abundance
But I search for the indemnification that can come only from the who inflicted shame on me.

5) Fall Leaves
4:06, lyrics:
Like an angel from heaven,
through eyes darkened by grief.
What made you become like this?
I used to drown in your beauty,
now all I see is despair.

Wish you could fathom the main cause of my pain;
not being a part of you.
Labeling me an item for rejection,
or else maybe sorrow must die
and who will you be then?
Beloved, I have seen you so many times,
in so many appearances.
All of you aggrieve me severely.
Don't you leave
like the rest have done.
Don't you leave,
stay with me.
Let me speak encouraging words to you;
You were created to fly,
your wings aren't there just by fate,
There is someone who wants to plant a future in your life.
Let me speak His edifying words to you
and continually meaning it from the deepest of my heart.
What if you could believe me?
If I only got to be one drop in your rain.

Why do you listen to thoughts of darkness
and self-destruction?
Why do you degrade yourself to nothing
while your significance is so great?
A righteous man chose to die for your sake.
You say your life has no meaning.
You don't see your link in the chain
and even the leaves lose their colors.
Can you fathom merely the slightest fragment
fo the mortal sacrifice by the Lamb for you?
The share of grace that is yours.

The body of Christ for you
The blood of Christ for you.

6) Without a Veil Concealing My Sight
3:37, lyrics:
When I cease to resist
deliverance begins.
A sting in my heart,
face to face with the truth about myself
I can't evade the encounter with the Spirit of Truth.

When someone lifts my eyes and
lets me see everything created with new eyes
without a veil concealing my sight,
struck with wonder, I fall into tears.
Free from agony.
Tears renewing, cleansing my soul.

When I case to resist
deliverance begins.
A sting in my heart
Face to face with the truth about myself
I can't evade the encounter with the Spirit of Truth
Tears of contrition

What can I do but cry
at the sight of my own sin?
How I ravaged the beauty,
neglected the gift of life.

Without a veil concealing my sight.
struck with wonder, I fall into tears.
Free from agony.
Tears renewing, cleansing my soul.

An abysmal deliverance when I look through my soul.
The suffering is overwhelming, yet full of grace.
Tears not leaving misery behind,
In that lies the beginning of a new day,
A resurrection from death.
Those tears are my love for You

7) Darkness Fading
3:47, lyrics:
Digging,
the dirt is cold.
My hands are stiff,
the mere smell makes me recoil.
A taste of disgust,
a vile stench,
an empty shell.
Hiding my face in shame,
I wish I didn't have to see.
Waves of regret breaking over me.
This can't be me!
I can see myself running
through unknown landscape.
Bloody trails behind me,
my lungs are burning.
A constant flow of blood

Carry me... This is My pain.
...back to the source. And I will carry it.
Carry me... This is My burden.
...to my Father. And I will carry it.

The light still torments me.
In the lowest pit, in the darkness,
in the deep.
Here was my refuge
until the day break
and the shadows flee away.

To wake up, to see,
to leave behind, starting to walk.
I leave death behind.
A pale reflection of light.
I can see the darkness fading
I close my eyes.
In the lowest pit,
in the darkness,
int the deep.
Here was my refuge
until the day break
and the shadows run away.

Footsteps in a distance,
I dare not look,
hiding my face in the shadow.
You are there,
In the steps in the blood.
Everything is there,
the filth covers me no more.

Carry me... This is My pain
...back to the source. And I will carry it
On my knees... This is My burden.
...to my father. You don't need to carry it

8) Silentium
4:27, lyrics:
Swimming through floods of tears,
rays of anguish pounding me.
My will to live diminishes with each wave of affliction
that breaks my weakened existence.
It bothers me to know that I have been here before.
I assured myself that I'd never return to this solitary site,
believing I was rescued once and for all.
I thought it was a lesson I could learn,
but somehow I'm back here,
at the reunion of repressed memories,
caught in the vicious circle of self-oppression,
anxiety, fear, and uncontrollable thoughts.

The cold water numbs my limbs; I'm losing focus again,
trying desperately to remember the details of my last rescue,
clinging to the hope of finding the safe rocks again.
The light from the lighthouse flickers once more,
and dies as the demons of death are closing in.

Overrating my capacities, denying the weakness of my flesh,
I tried too hard and fell, slipped down the slippery cold rocks,
and now I'm back into the relentless sea.

Lies are caging me;
hatred, bitterness, and self pity.
Why this injustice?
Or am I too blind to see the outcome of my actions?

I hate me for not trusting You.
I hate that I let them get to me.
Why do I have to be here at all?
You are my Lord regardless of my feelings;
rescue my again;
pull me up, and let me dry.
Place my feet on the rock, and let me see the
sunshine once more.

9) A Tranquil Image of a Wounded Child
3:11, lyrics:
The life I lived was coated in darkness,
the presence only consisting of shadows.
Actions of severe disparagement,
my focus was always in the past.
Hatred and wrath close to my heart,
what's been done to me is irreversible.

Revenge is no elucidation
how I have tried to repress,
built walls to close out,
but it's repeatedly in my dreams.

I spread your wickedness.
I hurt the ones I love.
I can't keep it all down.
You are the cause of my anxiety.
You owe me my hatred.
You crushed the child, killed the innocence.
I have no worth.
Wish my wrath could strike you,
but instead it only hurts those I love.

Despite the years, I am still enslaved.
Regardless of the energy, I still remember,
the moment will always haunt me.
What is holding me back?
What sops me from caring?
What is the source of my destruction?

A tranquil image of a wounded child,
the grieving touch of God,
displays my life in enslavement
of hatred and bitterness.
Only Your love conveys the might.
Revealing truth about myself.
It's not the past events that bind me,
but the wounds are open to infection,
binds my thoughts to the past,
commit my heart to hatred.

I have neither managed to break the chains,
nor been able to defeat my enemy
but You show me something else;
the path of forgiveness.
Trusting You deliver me,
daring to believe it's Your will.

Accepting your cleansing blood,
allowing You to break the chains.
The spirits roar in my face striving to cage me,
knowing I will lose if I battle alone.
Through You I can forgive myself,
although I hate my past.
I can slowly start to love myself
and stop hurting those who care.

10) In the Midst of the Morbid Darkness
3:52, lyrics:
In the midst of this morbid darkness,
where galling spirits roam,
a flickering ray of hope bears witness
of the thoroughly transforming Light.
Discover the light, freedom, light and peace!

The darkness has been tangible for so long.
Enclosed by fear of leaving the safe and known.
What is to be found?

As he turns his face, light strikes, a warm bath of love,
the Love of the Father.
Surrounded by fear caused by the friction
of contaminated feet impressions of demons
who have infected and enticed my past.
Is there healing for this victimized soul?

Come out of the darkness!
Come to Jesus!
Discover the light, freedom, life, and peace!
Be released from the cumbersome chains!

In my heart believing that the Father raised Him from the dead,
your crystal water runs through my soul,
cleanses, restores, delivers.

See, I will do everything new.
Born again, the filth is gone.
the darkness is gone.
Life embraces me in light,
a will to live fills my spirit
despite my past enslavement.
I was born here to make a difference.

11) At War
4:40, lyrics:
The enemy is finally defeated.
My memories no longer cause pain,
for the Lord has set me free.
I see humanity and I realize... we're at a war.
Exemption has opened my eyes
to see the alteration of the world.
The road I once trod has grown colder,
revealing the greatest lie of this age.
How the spiritual powers manipulate our lives.
The social structure we built
is the truth in which the enemy secures his lies.

Revealed is the lord of hatred.
revealed is the lord of lies!

We all have a share.
Blameless, we are enticed to bury our innocence in filth.
In my deepest anguish I sense their hate,
hatred towards humanity.
They made it look like it was over,
as if we had lost our meaning and our worth.
But we're in an everyday war,
a battle of life and death.
We must deliberate and focus.
Through my inner conflict, wrath is born.
We shall overthrow him, by the blood of the Lamb and through our witness.

The Word is my strength and my shelter,
the battle is already won.
I have found meaning through the blood of Truth.

Defeated is the lord of hatred,
defeated is the lord of lies.

We all have a share,
the victory over the darkness of this world.
In my deepest anguish, I sense their hate,
hatred toward humanity.
They made it look like it was over,
as if we had lost our meaning and our worth.
But we are in an everyday war,
a battle of life and death.
We must deliberate and focus.
My being bows down before Jesus and proclaims victory.
His life became mine.
My anguish turned to peace.
His blood gave me life.

12) Kyrie Eleison
3:51, lyrics:
God, hor min bon,
band Ditt ansikte mot mig
orh balsigna mig efter Ditt fulla matt.
Se mitt bjarta, hur jag langtar efter Dig.
Min stig blir mork utan Ditt ljus.
Min betskap ab Din bag ar dunkel
men Du gor mina steg fasta.

Derre, se till min stad,
se till Din forsamling ab manniskor med langtan
att bara Dig togna
Se hur morker och forbirring
forsoker smyga sig in
i bad Du inrattat som heligt
Appratta oss enligt Ditt ord att baga bara det bi ar
Lar oss Dina stadgar och tillrattavisa oss nar bi gor ont
Gor karleken lebande och lat sanningen fa rada.
Lat Din forsamling fa bara en plats
ab helande och ab upprattelse.
Lat oss far hamta styrka ur Din ocrhorda kraft.
Vi vill se Din Ande berora.
Res oss alska mer och mer.

Kristus, se till bart land;
da vi har lamnat var kunskap om Gud
och vikit ab fran sanningens och karlekens bag.
Kristus, se till bart land.

Vi ljuger och vi sbar
Se blodsoad foljer pa blodsoad
Mord, ran och baldtakt hotar landets folk
Vi behober en fornyad kunskap om Ditt ord
for landet sjalbt sorjer och forsmaktar i sin torst (efter Dig.)
Djuren pa marken dor i sjukdom
Faglarna under himlen och fiskarna forgas.

Ga darfor tillratta med Din forsamling
sa att vi ater kan bli fyllda ab Din kraft
och ga ut med Ditt budskap overallt dar vi brar fram.
Gud, hor min bon omslut oss med helighe.
Gor oss ibriga i att komma den hjalplose till motes
med budskap av hopp direkt ifran Dig.
Hjalp oss att balkomna framlingen med gladje
och skynoa oss att lyssna till och hjalpa den i nob.
Lar oss ater Dina stadgar.
Gor Ditt ord och Din karlek lemande i oss
sa att vi kan bara mer som Dig, Kristus.
(hos 4:1-3)

13) Dawn of Insight
1:49, instrumental

14) The Best Is Yet to Come (10th anniversary edition only!)
3:26, lyrics:
If I had known then what I know now
Life had been much easier
Day by day we grow in wisdom
One thing we have grasped
Reminiscing about our failures
May divert the focus forward
Letting our thoughts be renewed
Instead of thinking on the past

You are the wind that we cannot control
Reigning through grace and love
Wind that we cannot control
Reigning through grace and love

We have entered a new time
Started an era
A true revelation
God is the same
But we see more clearly now

The truth about who You are
The truth about who we are
The truth about what we have
The truth that sets us free

We revel in unconditional love
In grace that is greater than our failures
We are new - through You
Your love - unbreakable covenant
We are your bodies in this world
Immersing in Your restoring word

You are the wind that we cannot control
Reigning through grace and love
Wind that we cannot control
Reigning through grace and love

We have entered a new time
Started an era
A true revelation
God is the same
But we see more clearly now

The truth about who You are
The truth about who we are
The truth about what we have
The truth that sets us free

Through a decade of heartbeats
As we embrace where we're from
You've been the rock under our feet
Still we know the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come

(Active under new name, Antestor)
Location: Norway (Jessheim, Akershus)

Years active:
1989 - 1993 Crush Evil
1993 - 2007 A ntestor
2010 - present A ntestor

Added here as an exception, since they played 'black' metal under their new name.

They felt the name "Crush Evil" was too strong of a statement, so they changed it to Antestor, which is more "neutral". One of Lars Stokstad's sisters had the idea for this name.

There is a rumor that a secular Finnish band once turned Crush Evil/Antestor artwork upside-down, and used it on one of their releases, but it appears to be just a rumor.

Lineup:
Kjetil "Martyr" Molnes - Vocals
Lars Stokstad - Guitars
Erling "Pilgrim" Jørgensen - Guitars
Vegard Undal - Bass
Svein "Armoth" Sanders - Drums

Past members:
Tom W. "Paul W" Holm Paulsen - Drums
Øyvind Haugland - Bass

Discography:


The Defeat of Satan (demo, August, 1991, Independent)
Format: Cassette, limited 150 copies

NOTE:
On Metal Archives, there's a mention of a 2003 rerelease of this demo on Momentum Scandinavia. More than likely, this is just a misunderstanding, referring to the 2003 compilation of the same name. However, I'm not sure (and unfortunately, the person who made that update has passed away, so I can't ask him where he found it...) so until more information becomes available, I'll leave this note here.

1) The Defeat of Satan
9:02, lyrics:
An angel descending from heaven
holding the key to the abyss
he seized the serpent of old
who is the devil and Satan
Into the abyss sealed
bound for a thousand years

After that he must be
Released for a little while

Out to lead astray the nations
to muster them for battle
up over the breadth of the earth
surrounded the camp of the saints
ready to fight the beloved city

In the end, they will be
Forever in, the lake of fire?

Fire came down from heaven
the devil who deceived them
flung into the lake of fire
to the beast and the false prophet
tortured day and night forever

2) New Life
7:35, lyrics:
Insanity look for yourself, Satan rules this world
destruction he is the source he is after your soul
To save us from the hellish pain, God sent Jesus Christ
Crucified for all our sins, He felt the horror and pain

New life He rose again
New life He came to give
New life to a world of hat
New life you came to receive
New life He sets sinners free
New life he is for us
New life can be born today
New life for you

Condemned burned in holy flames
God you can stand his presence
The law you cannot be saved
Man sin is in your way
Love the holy and pure
Done what man couldn't do
blood cover your sins
Jesus offered his life

3) Jesus Saves
8:25, lyrics:
Jesus Saves
A beast rose from the sea
it started to blaspheme
You watch out, Satan might get you
He will never let you go
Jesus can help, He has won
He is the Messiah
in Him you must believe

Don't let Satan treat you as a friend
Satan comes to collect his souls
Jesus saves you if you want to
It's up to you to make the choice
give your life to Jesus Christ

Jesus is the one and only
He was crucified for your life
You got to have faith in the Lord
He'll save you from eternal death
give your life to Jesus Christ

You've got a choice, that you must make
It's up to you, to live or die

4) Knus Ondskapen
1:03, instrumental

1) En ljus horisont
2:42

2) Banja Luka
10:14, lyrics:
Nu vill jag så gärna liderligt besjunga mitt hjärtas längtan och skönheten hos den sorg som kokar upp i mitt blödiga hjärta så fort en flickas namn dröjer sig kvar innanför mina öronsnäckor. Detta vill jag fast än jag mycket riktigt vet att längtan efter det som hör denna dödliga värld till också är det som leder mig från det alltid varande och aldrig förgängliga ljuset som aldrig blev tänt och som aldrig någonsin slocknar. När mitt hjärta längtar - längtar det efter dig Herre och när jag förleder mig själv att längta efter annat - leder jag mig själv i fördärvet. Men nu så vill jag göra väsen av saknaden efter en vacker liten flicka som stal mitt hjärta när jag reste runt i öst en gång.

Inget klär mig - utom längtan efter dig.
Inget mättar mig nu -
Förutom att med sorg och saknad
Upprepa ditt namn i min mun utan att ljudet
Lämnar mina läppar.
Inga ting finner jag sköna utom minnesbilden av dig.
Ingenting kan släcka min törst
Såsom de tårar jag fäller
Sedan du omfamnade mig
Och sa förväl och kom snart tillbaka.

Ja så klär jag mig i saknaden efter denna underbara lilla tjej. Jag spelar ofta upp minnet från när vi talade med varandra en gång och hon tvangs avbryta samtalet då hennes chef bad henne putsa fönster. När hon sedan gjorde detta sneglade jag försiktigt åt hennes håll och njöt av hennes skönhet. Hon var helt klädd i vitt och rörde sig så graciöst som bara få flickor kan. Självsäkert, skönt, ljuvligt och samtidigt dygdigt. Men som alltid såg jag skönheten på fel sätt, ville göra den till min egen och så föreviga den. Därför är min saknad också oren. Då jag genom att lovsjunga den istället för att lovsjunga Honom som skapade denne jag nu tycks sakna.

Jag vände nämligen ryggen mot ljuset
Och ögonen mot det som blev upplyst.
Mina ögon såg därför det som blev ljust,
Men inte själva ljuset.

No Forgiveness for Him (single, 15 April, 2020, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

From Bandcamp:
"No Forgiveness for him he describes the terrible divine revenge on all creation through his four apocalyptic knights, an eschatological song, with the atmosphere and climax of Armageddon, the brutality, the intense fury of Brazilian Black Metal proclaiming the supremacy of Christ."

1) No Forgiveness for Him
5:39, lyrics:
Bereaved at the banquet table.
On empty plates I offer you hunger.
Death shook his world by taking its toll.
I offer you fever and illness.
Steel spines wrapped around his neck.
Look, behold me now.
I came to present you with pain and fire.
You have no name or face.
See, fear and abandonment at the table.
No light will get here.
In the darkest depth of the abyss, with gag and scourge.
The shroud will cover your forgotten grave.
His dead skin wears the wanderers' rags.
Under the funeral procession of the prophetic lyre of my four horsemen.
I offer you the pest.
Under a blanket woven of forgotten shadows.
Ruined by the invitation of death.
Satanic Baal petrified in ruin.
Father of all lies.
Leumas sunev gagged forever.
Helel brought to his knees.

Oh deafened hell, contemplate revenge.
For the heavens proclaim my name as destruction tears off your wings.



Divine Transcendence Supremacy (EP, UPCOMING, Svalbard Records)
Format unknown
