Bliss of Soul

Through the words of those who crossed the void
I can meditate and feel the cremation’s fire
Breaking the barriers of real and madness
I can hear the whispers while I daydream
Through dreams, through visions
The numb can learn with the dead
And in their hearts with the bless of god
They cross the barriers that shackle our minds
Destroy me, to reconstruct with perfection
Give me the elixir of life and death
And in exchange i give you my life as an act of devotion
I give you my fuel, my word and every drop of my blood
As life is a sacrifice, and blood is the offering
Death is the sacred act of absolute renunciation
To something beyond existence and grasp
A glorious conclusion to a life of failures
Your black aura covers me through your cloak
In the darkness i can find the light
The end of agony, bliss of the soul
Through dreams, through visions
The numb can learn with the dead
And in their hearts with the bless of god
They cross the barriers that shackle our minds
Destroy me, to reconstruct with perfection
Give me the elixir of life and death
And in exchange i give you my life as an act of devotion
I give you my fuel, my word and every drop of my blood

Across the aeons his message has survived
Beyond the seas the Devil’s poison is spread
Through the tongues the cult resisted
Through the dreams even the blind could see
The manifestation of the dead and the unborn
That curses the existence and bless the shunned
Will cut the cord that feeds this selfish god
In the winds of vengeance the justice will come
The blackhole will swallow all the life and his sons
To bless the man that will turn into dust
You can burn us, you can kill us
But we are more than only flesh
You can torture us, you can cut our tongues
We are more than cosmic dust
You can’t curse the cursed, you can’t burn the fire
Our existence is beyond the flesh and bones
You can’t control the outlaw, you can’t kill the dead
Through their sons the truth will prevail
The darkness will be taken by your light
To illuminate the path beyond the stars
And show the void for the emissary of the Devil
While we feed their hearts with blood and conflagration
To burn this world, and dissolve the flesh

Beyond The Realms of God

Beyond the realms of god
The life struggles to survive
Absorbed by black holes and dissolved by the light
The creation goes from dust to dust and the black sun shines
Into the circle of life and death, death will become life
Through the end comes the beginning and the end comes again
In this stage of existence we know the ecstasy and the pain
Through the cosmical mirror you can’t see what is behind
The transcendence can show you the truth, and over this you can rise
Show me the path to the truth
And the light that burns my eyes
Burn everything with your fire
With your blessing and your torch I will be
Beyond Devil, beyond God
Beyond flesh, beyond blood
Bless me
Possess me
Unchain me
Empower me
Through the end comes the beginning and the end comes again
In this stage of existence we know the ecstasy and the pain
Through the cosmical mirror you can’t see what is behind
The transcendence can show you the truth, and over this you can rise
Through sacrifice and loyalty to my masters
I can be the one that rises
That rises through the existence
And go beyond all the light
Show me the path to the truth
And the light that burns my eyes
Burn everything with your fire
With your blessing and your torch I will be
Beyond Devil, beyond God
Beyond flesh, beyond blood
Bless me
Possess me
Unchain me
Empower me

The Unending Night

Light, does it illuminate or does it blind?
You choose between both
Which light are you looking for?
The human eyes, with them you can't see the light
A reason? It’s above our will
Our pursuit is eternal, the fire never ceases
The search for the truth, depends if it’s inside you
The innocence dies and destroys the old lies
The black light is spread like the sunrise
The conscience rises, the truth is inside your mind
Through us the fire will illuminate the unending night
Let your ego die
Absence of light?
The light that you see with your eyes
The darkness is not what it looks like
Silence your mind, and let your self rise
The innocence dies and destroys the old lies
The black light is spread like the sunrise
The conscience rises, the truth is inside your mind
Through us the fire will illuminate the unending night

Beyond the veils that separate worlds
That intertwine in an orderly spiral
In primordial darkness
Beyond the duality of everything and nothing
Where lies the multiplicity of everything that becomes nothing
There is no more sense of being
No more form
Only amorphous fullness of not-self
I glimpse the fate of my sacrifice.
Behold, do the whirlwinds of creation justify belonging and numbness?
Only the journey of no return proves to be real
In the eyes of those who gazed into the abyss.
There is no more sense of being
No more form
Only amorphous fullness of not-self
I glimpse the fate of my sacrifice
No more shall we sing the hymns of happiness
For the banner of war holds our cold hunt for the fallen Sophia
Like thirsty wolves we hunt the doors on the other side
Like cold anarchists we disturb the order of the priestly ministry,
And today the torches that burned the laws are the luminaries of our assembly
We evoke the void, so that it fills our souls.
The faceless God is manifested by the masks that fit us
And the smile is a warning of anger.
No more shall we sing the hymns of happiness
For the banner of war holds our cold hunt for the fallen Sophia
Like thirsty wolves we hunt the doors on the other side
Like cold anarchists we disturb the order of the priestly ministry,
And today the torches that burned the laws are the luminaries of our assembly

The Serpent’s Chant
06:03
|
|||
|
His whisper could be heard from the confines of existential darkness
His silence resounded like war chants and proclamations
As much as the stars of the firmament shone, the darkness lay in the infinite
No light should be as shining as the Devil's fire
No darkness will be as warm as the primeval emptiness
No poison will be as widespread as the Serpent's Chant
Candle circles made of the rest of lives, accompanied by barbaric cries
Libations, fumes and poisons permeate the air, through a dense atmosphere
The dagger must be red-stained and the chalice must overflow with life
Doors must be opened using internal keys
No darkness will be as warm as the primeval emptiness
No poison will be as widespread as the Serpent's Chant
How not to pronounce the memories of the dead again?
How can we not drink from the life of the living?
We are those who in unison accompanied the somber chant
In seven kingdoms I lie with the lady of dreams
I wait for the Devil to come.
And recite the serpent's chant
When the sun turns black and the universe freezes
Your voice will echo as your glorious chant
The screams of agony will be the choral of freedom
The sound of the stars dying will be the trumpets of Death
And the cry of angels will be never heard
They will be tortured till the sun reborn
No darkness will be as warm as the primeval emptiness
No poison will be as widespread as the Serpent's Chant
How not to pronounce the memories of the dead again?
How can we not drink from the life of the living?
We are those who in unison accompanied the somber chant
In seven kingdoms I lie with the lady of dreams
I wait for the Devil to come.
And recite the serpent's chant

Reaching Beyond Assiah

In my last breath I will come back to the womb of the world
And will discover the mysteries behind the existence
My chains will break, and blindfolds will tear
So my slavery and prison will end forever and beyond
In my eyes you can’t see suffering, but glory
Even all the pain of life can’t destroy my true essence
Take me home
To the warm womb of the sacred Death
Release me from the pain of existence
Make the universe our bed of fire
To cremate the earth and me
Make my ashes and world’s as one
Taste the life with your flaming tongue
Swallow the world with your black holes
Show us the beauty of destruction and death
Give to Maya a worst and cruel end
My chains will break, and blindfolds will tear
So my slavery and prison will end forever and beyond
Take me home
To the warm womb of the sacred Death
Release me from the pain of existence
Make the universe our bed of fire
To cremate the earth and me
Make my ashes and world’s as one
Even the biggest star will be swallowed by you
To reinstate all the souls in the primordial waters
The law will be broken, and the circle destroyed
So the serpent will spill the poison to numb us for the eternity
Take me home
To the warm womb of the sacred Death
Release me from the pain of existence
Make the universe our bed of fire
To cremate the earth and me
Make my ashes and world’s as one

Altäre der Vergänglichkeit

Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10
