Within The Obscurity Of The Billow

from It Weighed Itself In Silver by Exlimitir

lyrics

Moaning, aphotic deep.
Once drowning in its bliss of shadow.
Enthralled by subsummation, the basking, formless communion.
Obscures in the shadow sea, sipping upon the black.

Until the piercing light shone through,
Reclaiming it all back.

Avowal to avenge its wronging.
The plot to destroy the sun.
Inhaling the nearest shadows,
Of everything and everyone.

First the shadows of fish, then the birds,
As it arose from the ocean floor.
Then the trees, then the mountains,
Then all of the beings on the shore.

All dragged into the ocean, stretching until torn.

The shadows, still chewed on, call for their owner's presence—forlorn!
Beckoning from the deep, pleading for return.
The shadowless, empty husks aground,
Wander aimlessly; left to toil, limp, and yearn.
Lunar shadows then sucked away, never again will they appear.
The thing, forever sunlit, still deeply hungers,
The surface scorched, a sun-scorned shell.

As the star-scum Deneb slumbers,
Dreaming of another brighter realm.
As the star-scum Deneb slumbers,
Dreaming of another brighter realm.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
