The Loss and Curse of Reverence Memories of torment strikes me Attempts were made to suffocate me at birth Fools I was already ancient Thou can not kill what breeds within thee Alas, this agony The emptiness of earthborn pride Hath stirred my faithful heart Which guided me to darker paths Far away from their pestilent ways Cleansed was I from deceitful grace Yet, put to scorn was I By those unclean Enslaved by ignorance They blindly spat upon the deity of hate Awake is the darkest fiend By the fallen one I shall arise Upon bewildered masses To whom the indulgence of my soul Portray as sin made god I shall revile and quell the source Whence mockery of my kind derive This I know Facile shalt my quest not come to pass Deathwish be my gift to all at last Honour Commended no longer as a virtue Yet, shalt be extolled at light's demise By the fallen one I shall arise Believer Speak not to me of justice For none have I have seen By God, I shall give as I receive Betrayer Speak not to me at all You and this world ripped my fucking heart out Again... and again... and again... In Longing Spirit Landscapes Entrance my mind with thoughts of ancient times I wonder... Did they walk this path... Open seas An endless horizon they seem I wonder... Where did they go... Nightsky Source of light and dark I wonder... Did they comprehend... Seasons running through my veins Like snow melting on my skin They crawl beyond my flesh And grasp my yearning soul Alas! The force of this divinity What caused its end... I drown in thoughts Yet, answers have abandoned this place Long ago Blood runs cold from my arm... Another one is now to die Is he the last to see The graceful entity of nature Is he the last to have his heart and soul Nailed in her embrace... He passes on... Opus a Satana (Instrumental) Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Alver Trym Samoth Ihsahn Artwork Info Recorded in the memorial hall of Grieg during Samhain anno 1996 C.E. Engineered by Pytten.

Band photo by Eyeball Explosion Review Actually there's nothing bad I can say about this minicd. The Loss and Curse of Reverence of course is a great song, very fast and very melodic. In Longing Spirit is a cool song in the same style and Opus a Satana is a nice orchestral song, originally from "In the Nightside Eclipse". But the best I think is the cd-rom track with the complete videoclip of '...Reverence'. This minicd promises a lot for "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"... Rating: 8.5 out of 10
