about

The leadoff track to the 2nd full length album, this song sets the tone with an aggressive musical assault that matches the themes within. Inspired by Clive Barker's Nightbreed, this song conveys the inner mental state of a being once their environment or detrimental forces compromise them into unleashing the berserker within. Doses of NWOBHM mixed with proggy leads and synths sets the score for this energetic tune. Individual track artwork by Jaems Murphy

lyrics

"The cowardly man thinks he’ll live for ever, if he keeps away from fighting; but old age won’t
grant him a truce even if spears spare him." - Norse Proverb

VERSES
your sleeping stories
peaceful lolling tales
aloft in flight or shifting flesh
you are the sweet monster
flawed angel in sleep
time has stopped to marry you and
make you right
the immortal spouse
the Dökkálfar shunned by the light!
But oh, the opened eye
Ljosalfar
the light exposed
is there smoke in your soul?
a fist in your head?
rage is a place
east of peace river
just under the flesh
it's not your movement
it's not your rage
it's not your place
until today
the mobs are massing
callous laughing
at all the angry monsters they made
through cruelty laid and wrists enslaved
who has the heart
who holds the blade?
CHORUS
the smoke in your soul
has spilled out your mouth
you hate what you spit
your flesh on the ground
ávalt!
as it has ever
A vault!
to hide forever
Beiskr!
the flesh has broken
Beiskr!
Dökkálfar (dark elf) de KAL fer
Ljósálfar (light elf) lo je SAL fur
ávalt (always) AH valt
beiskr (anger) BI sick ear
