Dragged Backwards

The storm of time
Rending my wings
Turned back to see
The terror of history
Stranded in time
As flesh turns to rust
Ruins on all sides
Clockwork genocide
Winds from paradise
A thousand rebirths
Statues and stones
Mountains of bones
Dragged backwards from memory
Carried on through history
I bring no deliverance
I was sent to witness
You speak of progress? The birth of a nation?
All human history’s just escalation
Time’s running out, these empires won’t last
And hell awaits when you run out of past
Forced open wings, unwilling omen
Of a future, unseen, but tragically certain
This storm from heaven, it leaves only wreckage
And mass graves and ashes where this angel passes

Heritage Is for the Dead

You read the victor’s history, you gave killers your ears
And the thousand ghosts and silent ones, you never tried to hear
You learned just what they needed, to build power’s charade
And the thousand truths we witnessed fill a thousand more mass graves
You have nothing left to offer but yet more genocide
Yet more years of racist lies, that more guns justify
The chains, slaves and the diamonds are your bloodline’s shame
The graves in the dirt hold all nations to blame
You say we hurt your heritage by asking you to share?
They desecrate our memories when they kill us without care
Where is your fabled progress? You still bear the marks of Cain
Where is your love of history when it’s happening again?
All of your pride is just your wealth and white face
There’s no honour in blood when invent your race
You wrote all the stories but never hid the evidence
And some of us remember and demand your penitence
Heritage is for the dead
When all of your heroes are rotting in hell
And all that’s under your crown is a broken old skull
When every last statue is drowned in the docks
Then jump in and join them. We’ve still not forgot

Dead Memories
04:10

The past is a predator
No sleep, no dreams
Unseen attacker
Fight flight or freeze?
On guard, no rest
No fucking peace
Walking empty streets
You’re prey again
Hands, throat, can’t breathe
Poised for an attack
But years have passed and
It’s already happened
The memories you repressed, something worse was born
A cold and starving predator from the corpses of your thoughts
A terror in your history, something dead and rotten
Rising from the black earth of the trauma you’ve forgotten
How can you defend yourself from something you can’t see?
A walker in the darkness of the life you didn’t lead
Something fell is rising- a devourer to the last
A stalker in the nightmares, a shadow from the past
Your inner eye is blinded
There’s something in the deep
They tell you these are nightmares
So why can you not sleep?
And if the past is dead
What is living there?
What is this hungry shadow
where memories once were?
What have you forgotten?

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well!
