A portal opens wide
Frightful sights, through the night
I've been reached up close and I saw the light
The petrifying vastness of space is now omniscient
Metaphysical separation
Continuous dissociation
My soul wanders free, contemplative
Still my vacant body inert and shrouded
Into the universe I might prosper
Cold as the deep waters of doubt and damnation
Confusing visions impregnating
All areas of consciousness
The profound nightsky calls for me
Violated by forces not known to men
A wave of tension propagating
Crashing against the shores of our system
My muted shrieks resonating
Within the mirage of an ivory tower
From this sphere of sand and ocean
We're dissolving and I must run
Into the universe I might prosper
Cold as the deep waters of time and space
I am drowning
Convulsing under the firmament's eye
Terrestrial I will no longer be
A pantheon of stars
Reached by dream and thought
Am I dying or is this life?
An answer that you might not find
A thousand years of sleep
Till' matter is finally transcended
The eroded memories
Of what was once so closely held
What will remain from me?
When I'll be gone to enter
The realm of the empty
I refuse to be consumed by time
Open the doors of existence
For they might remain unseen
But were never kept
As he runs towards the stars
Vanishing far from where we are
Condemned on Earth to disappear
Is this the beauty of our kind?
A blissful catastrophe
Painted in my dream forever
Till' we all dive in the empty
This portal I will choose for savior
Puedo ver claramente esa enorme luna llena en ese cielo estrellado, mientras las numerosas ramas de los enormes árboles se entrelazan entre sí. Huyendo en medio de semejante bosque de la numerosa secta de brujos que me acechan frenéticamente con sus inhumanas bestias lovecraftianas, para transformarme en su siguiente sacrificio humano. En el denso y oscuro laberinto, el estrellado cielo y esa enorme y brillante moneda de plata son mi única guía para escapar de ser la siguiente águila de sa Sleep Written
36 choice cuts - one from each 2015 LP, plus music from new signings on the mighty and 25-years-strong Relapse label. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 4, 2015
This is uplifting and gazey instrublack with some distant melodic chanted vox. The dynamic soundscapes are fantastically lush, with gorgeous harmonies and infectious, rich melodies. Lose yourself in them, but don't forget that Blut Aus Nord is still a black metal band somewhere deep in there. Dan Curhan
