Angels Of Atheism

We are heaven sent
We are heralds of progression
To lay the old world low
Skeptic and unbent
Devoid of meaningless confessions
With wings that made for war
You will not reap what we have sown
With civilization at peril, as it's tearing itself apart
Leaving us wondering, wondering how it will come to an end
When ignorance is so viral, treated as if it's some kind of art
Diminish the grandeur by knowing, by knowing it never was grand
Religion is a flaw
And it comes in all shapes and sizes
All man-made gods we scorn
Uphold Sharia law
And witness calamity rising
Because where books are being burned
A lesson is never learned
Scriptures from algorithms
The angels of Atheism
This depth of old deceptions
We will bring to the sword
And thus, when Atlas shrugs
We shall take back this world

The Sword Devours

I opened the chasm of time
Daring to stare into the past
Relics forsaken that none dare to find
The thawing of truth came to pass
Melting like candles in furnace
Malformed to a semblance of life
Brotherly hatred in the garden of Eden
The only purity that cuts like a knife
Generations of exile in Europe
Thousands of years without home
Finally given a fraction of hope
Phrasing the end of our tome
Return to the days when Canaan was conquered
Return to Abner’s last words
Rome and Bar Kochva, Greece and the Maccabees
We have always chosen the sword
Bow to the sword
For it offers salvation
Death is its own reward
And we are the indication
Poisonous stories of sinners and saints
Drawing a picture ideal
The biblical bribery paint ridiculous hate
The chosen people surreal
Be it the anger that thinks we are pure
Be it the land stained with blood
Fighting for lies told eons ago
Legacy of daggers and Scuds
Every Century passing I could find yet another atrocity
Like the binding of Isaac
And the burning bush call
Like seeking refuge
Behind Messada’s Walls
If Kahane was right
If Baruch Goldstein’s a saint
Then we have long been ignoring
The thin line in the sand
Kill or be killed

Ocean Of Tar
06:15
|
|||
|
Not a single day has passed before you came in tears
Crying rivers of disappointment of how you see things clear
You stand your cracked ground like there’s more things to gain
Forked tongued jealousy smearing soot-black companions’ names
Drown in
An ocean of tar
Self-glorification
Will never go far
Like a guild house of beggars that piss in the wind
So easy to criticize the achievements of friends
Can’t bask in the glory of your usurper’s mistakes
And if you can’t understand this – it was not yours to take
I know it is hard to break through this ceiling of glass
Some passions are burning and some hungers are too aching to pass
When invisible wounds heal they still leave these scars
Don’t let your dignity drown in an ocean of tar

Each Other's Throat

You’ll make an excellent example
Of how history was written
Victories and burning temples - rise
To this venomous occasion
A narrative no one wants to hear
The ink has that has dried drove us to gloat
And as this mosaic of falsehood begins to tear
We’re holding knives at each other’s throats
Our destiny’s declined
Remove every thought of shelter
We chose to undermine
All that we built around the center
At each other’s throats with blades at hand
At each other’s mercy foolishly we make our stand
Embarrassment to every nation
The child that just refuses to grow
The cradle of civilization - falls
Allows us both to sink so low
A narrative no one wants to hear
An old composition - all from bleeding notes
Like the roman soldier that held the spear
We’re holding knives at each other’s throats
Our Destiny’s Declined
Remove every thought of shelter
We chose to undermine
The gates collapsed - all demons, enter
Blood was thick and now the sons of Abraham
Diluted it to the extreme and the worst is yet to come
Circling around the fire - since the dawn of time
Oh how we deserve each other - dear enemy of mine

בשני זוזים של כסף ובשלשלאות ברזל
הובילני אל פתחי מקדשו של זה האל
אשר שיסה עמו בדופי, בחירוף ולהבות
וקיבץ אדם מתוך פזורה אל תוך כבשן הגלויות
לא נותרתי איש-עולם ונלקחה הנחמה
כאשר דודיי נפלו הם ארצה, מקדשים האדמה
וכל אביון דורש צביון ומחטיף מהלומה
על חומותיך עיר דוד אתקין לך מרגמה
כי משנאת אחים נבראתי
משאון המרכבות
מהרעל שבמים
ומאש המלחמות
עם בוא אחיי נולד הדור אשר מאס ברפש
מילא הביב את זה הים, עלו מימיו עד נפש
אך בני כלאיים, בני אלפיים, מה להם ולעולם
כל שנועדנו זה לדעת שהגורל חותם בדם
אם לנצח נאכל חרב אז לנצח נתחתן
עם כלה שחורה כפיח, ועם תן רעב רוטן
אדם קטן כמוך, יבלע בבטן לוויתן
השם ישבור הסטטוס קוו וישליכהו לכבשן
מניף את הפטיש למעלה, וחובט אל הסדן
אותו נפח בצלם אל, משחיז עמו אל תוך כבשן
אך לא נצא מסדנתו אלא בארונות קבורה
כך הובטחת לנו, ארץ זבת מרה שחורה
אשרי כרעיה של הארץ
אשרי גפרור מסך עשן
מושך אני את השרשרת
ואת כולכם, אל תוך כבשן

In the days of Turnusrufus
Before ten martyrs gave their lives
Four stepped on stairs of studies
But only one survived
The legend of true paradise
Amongst the halls of God
Where marble breaks your words like water
Where we realize we’re flawed
Under Roman persecutions
Beneath the Praetor's boot
Four wish to strive tofind the answer
Where divinity takes root
Verse 2: Upon the chariot of fire
That no one dares to ride
Creation and oblivion both beckon
Beneath a white winged bride
Hidden congregation
Disappears into the night
They will reach the pinnacle
Salvation’s only light
Seven days of holy fervor
Yavne’s wisdoms scorned
The four will reach the pinnacle
Tiferet - ancient throne
Verse 3: They’ve fast and drank no water
So worthy they will be
The four enter the gates of heaven
The pinnacle calling thee

White marble halls of heaven
A garden locked in time
Tiferet - ancient throne
Soon you will be mine
I was born a shepherd’s boy
A poor and ignorant man
For love I studied and enriched
For love I’m doing what I can
Aleph of our one true father
Taf for all that ends
Eschaton, oblivion
Now I understand
I knew why my love was taken for granted
I know why I am here
I will know all my mind could study
The rest will disappear
Earthly riches seemed diminished
Even before I took this oath
Enemy of Rome I am
Edge of the undergrowth
The flock of angels pushes me
To stray from my path
The pinnacle of holy marble
The choir of the aftermath
And as I enter all alone
Bare witness to true might
White bride - her face true beauty
Enriches me with light

I tried to grab Akiva’s garment before he took that step
We entered four, four different gates, and then Akiva left
They told me I am fire, they spoke in different tongues
But now I see the truth that’s hidden ‘neath the face of Metatron
Akiva! betrayer, he left us for dead
We entered the garden succumbed to our dread
The angels, the faceless, the arms of Tiferet
Now your false form has been shed
I must warn the others
From Jerusalem to Rome
There is no salvation hidden
On the steps of an ancient throne
We were born to be devoured by
The mouth of Metatron
Young Ben-Azai claimed he would stand on guard
Before he vanished, taken by forces we could barely describe
Then Ben-Zuma snapped, his mind was crushed in despair
The thought of our souls being fed to the bride was too much to bare
I’ve taken my broken and babbling partner
I’ve run down the spiral of white
“Akiva is mad, Akiva betrayed us”
Ben-Zuma is shouting in fright
Ben-Azai is nowhere to be found
He has shed his body like cloth
Only Akiva still lingers
Only Akiva has forsaken his oath

The Pinnacle, Pt 4: Sod
07:01

Orchard of pomegranates
The fruits are made of cyphers
A secret hidden deep
I’ve seen it all still none the wiser
Akiva stands before me
His heart and mind malformed
“Follow me or be like the others”
He said I have been warned
I would not stand against her
The bride’s distorted form
Her face, a swarm of tentacles
She is divine, we are but worms
But if this is divinity
If this is what fate concealed
I’d rather tear down every tree
Than give my soul and yield
Verse 2: Akiva’s eyes are like stones
Gray as the clouds of the night
He knows the answer, he whispered
Given to him by the monster in white
He will gather the faithful
And declare a war against Rome
He will find and anoint his Messiah
And all will die in this storm
C-part:
I tried to get Ben-Zuma to safety
Fooling Akiva that I’ve joined his cause
“Akiva is mad” babbled my friend
“And our death will be his applause”
We barely reached the town of Yavne
And I left him on the porch of a whore
“Aren’t you Ben-Abuya the wise?”
She asked, letting her words explore
“You are mistaken, Madam” I answered
And I gave her two silvers and left
“Must’ve been some other” I heard her voice carry
Hoping it is not too late
As I come to the garden of Yavne
Surrounded by Akiva’s lies
Toiling and tearing the roots of the garden
As I wait for the Sabbath to die
“Blasphemy!” carried the voice of the people
Stricken I now realize
The Bride of white will not take hold
In this world or the next
For the next world is a mere illusion
And this one is here to vex
This is the God who waits in heaven
This is the bible’s lie
I will meet her eventually,
At least I’ll live before I’ll die

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

The Final Tyranny
by Demon King
supported by 4 fans who also own “Kivshan”
A crispy, perfectly blackened serving of melodic tech-death that always leaves me wanting more. Not sure I've ever just listened to this EP once. Great production, great riffs, and fantastic atmosphere throughout. If you ever wished Inferi would lean further into their tech/black inclinations, this is the band for you.

This album is a huge step up from their previous one, which is saying a lot because that one was really good. I fully believe that, with this release, Eternal Storm stands on the same level as the bands they're clearly inspired by.
