lyrics

Tearing through heaven
Stellar foreboding
Scorching the firmament
with blazing tail

Fire erupts on impact
Flames lick the object
as shadows dance around the crater

From the charred grounds a pillar of smoke towers to heaven
leading men of discovery to search the site for answers

A carrier from the void awakens the fantasy
of answering the riddle of life among the stars
Yet what we first thought was the bright light of dawn
was only the last dying embers of falling dusk

A starspawn cast forth from
strange realms of blackness
carrying the seeds of mankind’s perdition

Fervent to meet the messenger from the cosmic depths,
unknowing enquirers near the artifact with ardor

A carrier from the void awakens the fantasy
of answering the riddle of life among the stars
Yet what we first thought was the bright light of dawn
was only the last dying embers of falling dusk

This is utterly charming, raw enough, radically old school and, most importantly, glowing with dedication and soul. Complete stroke of genius: everything from minute 3:53 of "There Lives A Beast Within This Cave" onwards. Grendel's Sÿster
