I the Sun ov man
The offspring ov the stellar race
My halo fallen and crushed upon the earth
That I may bring balance to this world
I son ov perdition
From sheer nothingness transgressed
Unto the highest self – to utmost freedom
To explore the starry nature ov my rage
I pulse ov existence
The law ov nature undenied
I hold the torch ov Heraclites
So I can shake the earth and move the suns
I divine Iconoclast
Injecting chaos into my veins
With life accepted
With pain resurrected
Is the embrace ov god in man profound
The joy ov a dawn
The ecstasy ov dusk
Nourished have I this karmic flow
Where great above meets great below
Let it be written!
Let it be done!
Scattered I walk towards the fractured light
from what i've seen of this album concept (which as you've seen in the last two involved egyptian paganism *demigod*, and eastern indian paganism *the apostasy*) this one in particular involves a concept of babylonian paganism. Therefore you can see the imageries in this (i.e. heraclites reference) and it perceives to me as another empowering song (like "at the left hand ov god") saying "I am an angel fallen from grace, willing to bring balance to this world corrupted by the lies of false religion". Yeah, a lot of babylonian paganism that I don't wish to bother listing, I'll leave it to someone else. For the record, despite the slight disappointments such as the album art not behemoth-like and the fact that nergal is not producing this album, from what I've heard from this the album will be guaranteed to not be too shabby, but lets hope that is dark and brutal like behemoth has and should be for this aeon and the next ones to come.
