Kingdom There is a whole mountain And a river runs through it If you split my mountain wide You would find many rivers Among flocks of non-white doves And non-temptable mortals The kingdom is much more real And the beauty is endless Only when tightened beyond recall Is your necklace a blessing Leave your pearls in the sea You undeserved bitch You are not worthy of such a treasure My hand on your heart, I know there is a beating In this oh so bleak landscape There are many mountains .........but not do much water. My Kingdom Mine Is Yours To Drown In (Ours Is the New Tribe) Be smothered in life Listen, listen, listen The written word will devour you And burn your mind I'm burning your mind I am entering your soul My promise to love and caress you Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe Before Tomb ........ (Regression) Taste me Let the angels wings close And shield you I bleed for you In the shadows and the recesses You'll find dark Yearn (me) >From the dark all is revealed Light sheds through Bleed with me We will share the light and dark Together and more We, the Gods How can you climb a mountain to kill a God? Why do you cross unknown lands, to kill our Gods? Why do you build walls.... to starve our Gods? Is it for the same reason you blind us? Is this why you punish our children? And rape our sisters? When will we drown? When will we burn? Will you die with us? I think so You are slicing your own wrists You are tearing out your own hearts And you are drowning your own children So you can end it ....... Or we will We are telling them the truth And revealing all your lies We do not need to climb a mountain Or to cross unknown lands..... ....... Because we are Gods And we will drown you We will burn your homes We the people, we the spirits, we the Gods. Pentecost III (instrumental) Memento Mori My life's minds plagued by lyssophobia In a cage solitude locks me in As the dar blackened walls close in on me Dementia strikes, there's no turning back Drowning in the stygian sea As those voices repeat to me my malediction Memento Mori Remember you must die A gratuitous wraith of violence Blots out the light of my mind For on this night someone must pay For the cost of my life For me to escape the curse of perdition This poor, weaker being must receive pain As you wince at the actions of my sadist ways And cry at the throes of your moribund state A Daemon issues your last rites Pater Noster Upto In Terra I break, I twist, I burn, I destroy Memento Mori As the candle of life, that burned in your heart Is doused by the grip of death's hand Asmodeus, the spirit of lust Bears his necrophile ways For the wishes of the demon in black My largesse in life should be immortality Dislike the weak, mortal humans But in life there's always death A multitude are born to be damned His perdisized body will burn forever In the scorching flames of Gehenna.

It would become clear later that this is the last Anathema CD with Darren White on vocals. And he couldn't have left with a more worthy farewell, as this cd is truly brilliant. Songs that completely engulf you, each a work of art in itself. Only pity is that the cd isn't very long. Though too long to be called a mini cd I think. So everyone who likes doom metal should really get this one Rating: 8.5 out of 10
