Birth Of Eternity There's a feeling that weakens me Sucking my blood Like thousands of leeches on my skin There's something that keeps me sleepless It draws me in deeper and deeper Like black holes devour the stars There are memories I find myself Imprisoned in earthly flesh But the ground will be shaking When I unleash my wrath I have been at the birth of time I have seen rainbows made of methane Galaxies were my playground And the universe will be my grave I sank into the waters Of grotesque I must drink from the fountain of wisdom For I want to roam The unfathomed dephts of the universe Where stars are born and die And the aeons seem only to a moment A tiny fragment of endless time But now I stepped through The threshold of fear My heart is filled with joy I laugh upon the mortals For they can't explore The unfathomed dephts of the universe Where stars are born and die And the aeons seem only to a moment A tiny fragment of endless time I have been at the birth of time I have seen rainbows made of methane Metagalaxies were my playground And the multiverse will be my grave Nothing weakens me anymore It is unearthly tranquility I found And now I cross the river of no return Reverie I am where the loneliest souls gather Though I remained all alone But may these moments be eternal May this dark yet starlit sky shine on me Forever Night Journey Enter my dreams and you will see what truly hides behind my mask Believe me I am bleeding from a thousand wounds I often feel I'm banished This world is not for me For a long time I found out How to communicate with stars For they are my only companions On the edge of an unknown existence I am staggering Look into my eyes and you'll know what I'm yearning for I celebrate the funeral of my emotions Will this nightly joureny ever end? My scars are deeper than you'd think And even if I die now, my shadow will haunt you Forever! Glory To Perdition I'm in the claws of darkness The sky above me is bloodred I welcome you to my place Where I dwell In the palace of loneliness At the shore of forbidding illusions I am the planet and you're my moon I need you To glorify perdition Until the grave I'm fighting I try to look into your mind In the flickering light of a lone candle I summon thee I rebel against the things they do I never let them take my throne I am the planet and you're my moon I need you To glorify perdition I'm bewitched by your splendour Time has come to the final sacrifice And in this very moment I summon thee Two Worlds Collide Feel the cold embrace of despair In the land of the phantoms Be prepared, for you will taste The cold sweat of fear This is what you will feel My tears mixed with rain My blood became cold My soul in sulphur lake I saw as the sun broke to shatters Since then the coldest winter dwells in me I will be here until eternity ends For I've seen the future And I've seen the past But I broke the hourglass of tomorrow And time will lost its meaning My tears mixed with rain My blood became cold My soul in sulphur lake Shores Of Death In dim half-light In shadowy reverie Near the Stygian shores Where howling winds prevail And the tainted soul of a man No longer stains the air This is where I've arrived With the taste of grief That plunged a dagger into my soul In this recondite yet gruesome moment There's only one thing left unanswered Is time in constant motion? With the grief of a thief I scourge my foe Now I'm truly rejoiced I do need no one anymore In dim half-light In shadowy reverie There's no return from this place And now the funeral will begin I linger on among my memories That used to mean so much But now I bury them Into the deepest of my soul In the graveyard that dwells within Dreams Spectre My will has woken Feel the eruption Of all that seethe within This is the beginning of the neverending restlessness Rise! Among pyramids made of ice And icicles of sand Crossing the orbits of dangerous planets I flee My soul is broken Feel the eruption Of all that seethe within This is the beginning of neverending restlessness My life it and elegy unwritten I sculpt you like the clay of time Like crystal snowflakes dress the naked land After an enormous avalanche I lay there buried Be prepared to be the next victim Fall! And now I realized you are a spectre in my dreams Blood Serenade The walls you built surround me I'm lost in the labyrinth of my dreams In the hollowness of despair Where my memories are dead I'm in the chains of temptation Of the darkside Free me from the emotions of mortals I'm mesmerized by the bleakness of the moonscape Among the trees I feel This sinister breeze And I see that blinding glitter In the dark The walls you built surround me I'm lost in the labyrinth of my dreams In the hollowness of despair Where my memories are dead I'm in the chains of temptation Of the other world Free me from the emotions of mortals I dream of the dawn of a new world I dream of the dawn of a new age If you would see with my eyes You would be carried by the wings of demise Without role on the stage of life I play But I will wait for another thousand years And until the end of time My clearest vision of you Is a blurred mosaic Where the pieces are blended And I'm confused Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Glory And Perdition is performed by: Csaba Cseitei - guitars András Nagy - vocals, bass guitar and keyboards István Neubrandt - guitars Zoltán Pál - trombone Zoltán Schönberger - drums Additional vocals on Birth Of Eternity and Shores Of Death by Attila Csihar Artwork Info Glory And Perdition was recorded, mixed and mastered at HSB Studio, Dunakeszi during November and December 2003 Produced by Viktor Scheer and András Nagy Engineered by Viktor Scheer, Zoltán Regenye and Laura Vesztergom All music written by Sear Bliss All lyrics written by András Nagy Frontcover artwork by Joszef Tari (Aurea Aetas) Illustration/design & layout: Guyla Havancsák www.skaelede.hu/hjules Photos by József Németh and Gábor Fábián Review At first listen the latest release of Hungarian black metal band Sear Bliss sounds less like their previous release but more like the one before. The songs are shorter and faster again. Yet when listening more carefully, it becomes clear that 'Glory and Perdition' is a combination of all their previous albums. There is the atmosphere of Forsaken Symphony, the speed of Forsaken Symphony, the experimental parts of the Haunting and the trumpets of Phantoms. Even though I more enjoy the long doomy songs on their previous album, this has turned out to be a very good cd. But it's a shame that it lasts for less than fourty minutes... Rating: 7.5 out of 10
