Prey at Dawn
03:36
|

|
With a maniacal laugh in the face
Of the living and the dead
The butchers come out at night
In shadow, protected
Their hands reach to grasp
Yet hold, they cannot
The executioner’s axe held high
No mercy shown
The butchers come out at night
Silhouettes on hell’s horizon
Breathing down our neck
Yet kill they cannot
As lightning through steel - run
As darkness through mud - crawl
This night, the butchers will fall
Prey at dawn
Weapons flash in the rising sun
Prey at dawn
Teeth gnash as stars fall, one by one
At sunrise, the butchers’ blood runs

Buried Sword

Look at me
See deep to buried sword
Blood will flow
From this armament cloaked
Come forth
Your hallowed ground is broken
Your fields
Stolen, withered, dead
Black sun stain
Your weakness, a testament
Writhe, suffer, rot
Crawl into your death’s head
Your name will be trodden
For generations
Your children will despise you
And those don’t
Will find this buried sword

Pile of Death
03:48
|
|||
|
Blood strewn
Across time
The end never comes
The beginning never ends
Climb to the top
This pile of death
Spires to nothing
Sing your empty praise to life everlasting
Sulfur and bile
Flesh and fire
Unrelenting
We are but remnants
Time is violence
Our bones, a doorway
Defleshed and left
For the living to enter
Blood thrown
From ancestral blades
This world of violence
Brimming with pain

Empty Tombs
03:16
|
|||
|
Emaciated, emphatic
Resplendent, forlorn
Diseased, victorious
Flourishing and famished
Covered in insects, eaten and buried
Shivering in empty tombs
The endless path of migration
Laying waste to us all
Crawling to the light through broken glass
Falling out of our skin, bloodied and content
This is the hill chosen to die upon
And turn to dust staring into the sun
We cut out our tongues
And give our teeth
To the salivation mouths
Of the ravenous masters

Into Darkness
03:26
|
|||
|
Within the black
Ladders to cascading hellish anatomy
Dissection in sleep
Creeping through lost space and memory
Smoke obstruction
Silent fog circling
Screams howled
Into the night, into the darkness
Into the night
Red blood, white light
False tools, dark minds
Hollow bodies, malformed mantel
Penumbral layer, mirrored form
Dissonant words, vacant speech
Dissection in sleep
Forced abduction
Silent fog circling
Screams howled
Into the night, into the darkness

listened Saturnian bloodstorm first, then this. Completely different band. Bloodstorm is Immortal, this is, well, different.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Beautiful and not-overlong atmospheric moments as natural breaths between hard hitting passages and a strong musical theme throughout the work make this an album worth experiencing. It's hard to listen to only one song here without listening to them all which I think says a lot about the consistency and balance of the track list. I have been converted and am now a Phrenelith fan!
