lyrics
Fragile time, so precious, yet set to fall.
The signs, long seen in their coming,
yet ignorance spake it’s cruel call.
Would that I had seen,
with eyes swept clear of foolish desires.
Now sorrow remains, my constant companion,
waits with me, as sunlight fades.
This is beauty’s end, to wither and die.
To collapse and to crumble,
beneath this uncaring sky.
Autumn’s herald, ever has been,
biding its time, watching, unseen,
now spreading its touch of helpless decay,
over my heart and the land.
The cloak, cast off now,
Once so vibrant, once so alive.
Though wish as I might,
It cannot survive.
Stripped bare before me, the truth of you,
unburdened it lies.
The sun has now set, and with it,
the light of life dies.
Wasted, desolation, whispers of past joys long gone.
Each step, treads on dead leaves,
shrivelled, encased now in frost.
The land lays hollow, As hollow, am I.
Numb to all else, As time passes on.
Left to reflect on all that once was,
Alone now, to wait for the dawn.
The quiet solace of sorrow's touch,
A comfort it seems now to me.
The rays of this new day,
It's glimmering light, a promise...
A promise of life yet to be?
This is beauty’s end, to wither and die.
To collapse and to crumble,
beneath this uncaring sky.
Autumn’s herald, ever has been,
biding its time, watching, unseen,
now spreading its touch of helpless decay,
over my heart and the land.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

This album is incredible. A perfect embodiment of those northern winds piercing you to the heart. I'm convinced these riffs could move glaciers. 𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ॐ 𝔄𝔟𝔶𝔰𝔰
