lyrics

They follow the strict command of cold, self-serving, bitter men.
Misrepresented as the holy word.
Betray the vision of renaissance man,
twisting teachings to such evil ends.

'On the path to heaven' describes the
philosophy of their wretched lives.
If true; paradise is another hell.

Such madness lies in the war against the infidel,
a suicide to aid the greater bad.
So many perish, and nothing is gained but misery,
salvation assured because they're on the path.

'On the path to heaven' describes the philosophy of their wretched lives.
If true; paradise is another hell.
From the path to heaven crawl all of paradise's fell clientèle.
Is it not time we razed this abyss (to the ground)?

Holy Man:
This cursed man seeks to criticise the faith,
our truth is the universes only law.
Enlightened Follower:
Vendetta! I shall spill his blasphemous blood.
Infidels die so I may live forever!

If they had [true] faith, then the critics would be disproved,
as mere uttering of foolish ones.
Extreme reaction simply proves their own insecurity,
a desperate act for a dying breed.
They'll kill, they'll destroy and try to end all that we've gained,
'cause there's no humans 'on the path
to heaven' describes the philosophy of their wretched lives.
If true; paradise is another hell.
From the path to heaven crawl all of paradise's fell clientèle.
Is it not time we razed this abyss (to the ground)?

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
