lyrics

All around me is despair, at this travesty of existence.
It seems we're the only ones to see this fate.
It's obvious to our eyes.

The truth is 'its not fair'.
We're the few who've learned not to care.
This is not a revelation, well known, well forgotten.

There is no afterlife.
No bliss after lives of pain.

We are successors to the throne,
and we will not fade away.
We are the heralds of a new dawn,
the light only we can see.

We the workers doing petty tasks, for what we're told we need.
It's a scam with our blood, with our toil we buy useless trinkets of novelty desire.

The truth is 'its not fair'.
We're the few who've learned not to care.
This is not a revelation, well known, well forgotten.

There is no afterlife.
Nothing to make it all worthwhile.

We are successors to the throne,
and we will not fade away.
We are an army of brothers,
who will not become the damned.

Join us.

Delusional people denying life's futility,
you're queuing to die!

Rising from it is a heathen throne.
The mottoes oft said the throne will realise.

There is no afterlife.
No paradise to justify.

We are successors to the throne,
and we will not fade away.
We are an army of brothers,
who will not become the damned.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
