Seething the fire of the night
And burnishing all of the life
Her blades of light call unto me
And the gaze of it desperately bleak
The light floods in, fully surround
As eve casts its unearthly shroud
The meaning of life is bereft
And stare through the face of my death
Burned by the soul of the moon
Bound by her trans-mortal womb
Burned by the soul of the moon
Sealed in her ethereal tomb
Fleeting the feelings of grace
And longing for evenings shade
For the moonlight it calleth to me
And her light bringeth all nought but grief
Dead screams from beyond the walls
And a flight of ethereal souls
When the gaze it now falls unto me
I am ready for the final release
Burned by the soul of the moon
Bound by her trans-mortal womb
Burned by the soul of the moon
Sealed in her ethereal tomb
A raven flies out from the scarlet peak
Mystic forces hollow us to bleak
See the final rise into the sky
And go we must obey
Raven fly!
Feel the eyes are staring from above
And solitude the grieving memory of,
The time is nigh and slipping through my hands
And fall it does the fine temporal sands
Leave us all for the dawn
Beseech the rise of the morn
Leave us all for the dawn
Beseech the rise of the morn

Perched atop a lowly outcrop
Gazing ahead at the endless grey
Dreaming of what could be
Horizon moves forwards to greet me
Heart heavy with bountiful sorrow
Awaiting the end to greet me tomorrow
The failures and lies of this life
Strangles, and ties me down
The endless grey
Purging our thoughts
We purvey
An existence of no meaning
And grey we see in our eyes
For our souls are cracked and broken
Then the end of our life
And the words we left unspoken
Crestfallen and meek in the light
A grain of bleakness upon my life
Feel the gentle touch of the end
Soothing and his arms open
Oh!
And the grey we see
Casts his bleak shade
And we stare forth
At the formless being
Hold your gaze
And witness the tears
As the world weeps
As do we
And grey we see in our eyes
For our souls are cracked and broken
Then the end of our lives
And the words we left unspoken

Faces of death the horizon
And paling the walls of the end
Jaded and into the garden
Greeting the sky with our breath
Falling and grim the facade
The ego mystic and grey
Charred are fabrics of nature
And shades of our life
Cracks appear on the inside
Those emeralds back they stare
A soul of harrow and sombre
Screams of many are gone
Gone!
Lament for the silence
And the dreams that do not fade
Grave the black defiance
Breathe and dreams do fade
The envy lies in the shadow of our lust
For we are the purveyance of death
And the bleak falls short to the silent
Furrowed only by the fallen
These are but dreaming men
Breathe and they fade

Grains of sand in the end
Fall afar in the land
Pale in our minds
And our souls are waiting
Flames redeem and rend
Fall and marred again
Pain in our minds
And our souls are broken
Blackness on the horizon
Bleakness on our souls and
Deathless are our thoughts and
Helpless of our lives and
Blame for our grief and die
All alone and weeping now for the end of days
Grains of sand in the end
Grey the life that we tend
And in our minds
The pain that I am craving
Fate obscuring to lend
Another chance at the end
Failing delight
Goaded I relinquish
Grains of sand in the end
Fall afar in the land
Pale in our minds
And our souls are waiting
Feeling now the hands of death
Steal away my final breath
My mind is under my command
My soul is immortal and -
Death

We greet the night with sorrow
Calling to the fiends of ages past
We fear the sight of the morrow
For the burdens that fall unto thee
Fall down far around your side
Tears of decay and your life
Sleep in your eyes
It beckons our hearts to go on
I call you to the sorrows
I am the flame of the night
Child, do not weep
For your fate; peace
We greet the night with sorrow
Calling to the fiends of ages past
We fear the sight of the morrow
For the burdens that fall unto thee
The fate of your heart
It lies in your mind
And the way will be lit
And guide shall speak
Now child go forth
Into a forest of hope
The arbour silence
Spark into the night

The snow, the white, it surrounds
Far, covered in a shroud
Bitter, the air and the taste
The land and ice have embraced
Frosts as far as the eye can see
A cold that I always seek
Laying still are the leaves
And casting shadows on the trees
Snow hearts
Sings the lark to me
Snow hearts
Sings the lark to me
Soar
Droplets of breath in the air
Fitting cold for my despair
Dreaming of world beyond ice
Wallow my thoughts do entice
Shadows surrounding they steep
The lies, and forth it doth creep
For eternal the echoes of pain
And eternal it echoes again
Shadows around they creep
Soaking my mind and I weep
For eternally echoes my pain
And eternal it echoes again
Sorrows ageing beyond
The will of the ancients abscond
For the bringer of light calls on me
And I am in awe of the wreak
Blizzard of havok ensue
Counting your time and your dues
Finding the way to locate
Finality will not be late
Shadows surrounding they steep
The lies, and forth it doth creep
For eternal the echoes of pain
And eternal it echoes again
Shadows around they creep
Soaking my mind and I weep
For eternally echoes my pain
And eternal it echoes again

Where do I go now I've exhausted all options?
Guilt follows in every step I make,
Crushed down by the weight of a thousand lifetimes,
My lungs burn with every breath I take
In my foolishness I went too far,
I open my eyes and realise..
That my time was just ticking
Like waves that crash on the shore;
Once again revealing yellow sands,
There is a meaning within simplicity...
Although I am now all alone;
As I wander o'er barren trails
Can't help but feel at home,
But I must wander on!
I wish I could give an answer,
But I am so full of questions
How I wish I could spend a thousand lives
A thousand roaming the tracts of the Earth
A thousand admiring the old Gods creation
A thousand amongst the peace of nature
The light begins to turn dark,
As the sun finally sets on my heart..
And I at last finally feel the decay,
Oh, that dark decay...
And I at last finally feel the decay
Oh, and I at last, that sweet eternal decay

Awesome atmospheric black metal with amazing vocals. Antediluvian Dreamscapes is hypnotic but on the other hand fast and beautifully aggressive. A well-written album with blackened melodies. Highly recommended! FFO: Wolves in the Throne Room

An ode to the old frozen cold bm of the 90s. Synth hypnotizing, riffs pulverize and the vocals are perfect. Released in April but I'm happy I found it on mourner's collection in November.

Fall Of The Northern Kingdom
by Black Pyre
supported by 34 fans who also own “Time Held Me Grey And Dying”
Melodic Black Metal from the U.K. but with a clear frosty feel of the Scandinavian acts. Very nice post-production, giving it that clear and distinct sound, whereby also the drums and bass are heard well, with lots of amazing guitar work, with the throaty vocals on top, with a very consistent performance all along. The album has that sinister, dark vibe, good tempo changes, and the songs are varied, keeping things flowing and interesting! Thank you to all those who took the time to review it!
