Und später, im Angesicht der Schlacht, erkannte der Krieger sich selbst in dem Kopf.
So stand die helle Seite für all die Liebe, die er zu geben hatte, all das Gute, was er zu verbringen vermochte und all die Schönheit der Schöpfung selbst. Diese war die Seite, die er andere sehen ließ.
Die verbrannte Seite jedoch verbarg er und leugnete deren Existenz.
So bezeugte sie doch in tiefen Furchen die Dunkelheit, den Schmerz, die Trauer und all das unvollkommene, was ihm nur allzu vertraut war.
Und noch als der Krieger sein Schwert in der Schlacht erhebt, begreift er, dass es, wofür er zu kämpfen gedachte, längst gestorben war.
Er sah, dass dies nicht länger seine Schlacht zu schlagen ist, kehrte dem Schlachtfeld den Rücken und ließ von all seinen Waffen ab.
Und der Vogel stieg auf und begegnete den Dingen fortan mit beiden Augen.
True love, true pain, and true adversity
Foster a bond between us
And entangle our hands.
Let life not catch up to the love we have,
Hold me and help me pull the remnants that I can't.
That I can't.
That I can't.
That I can't!
On my own devices!
And by my own means!
In search of something better!
With two hands entangled In the face of a storm,
Together we shall
Prosper & succeed!
Prosper & succeed!
Let life not catch up to the little that we had,
And leave me not, nor lead me,
Nor stand idly by.
Hold me like I hold you, and long as I have will to walk
Let us nor leave, nor lead, but walk together by each other's side.
Other's side!
Other's side!
Other's side!
On my own devices!
And by my own means!
In search of something better!
With two hands entangled In the face of a storm,
Together we shall
Prosper & succeed!
Prosper & succeed!
On my own devices!
And by my own means!
In search of something better!
With two hands entangled In the face of a storm,
Together we shall
Prosper & succeed!

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
