Taken by the Others

Far to the barren north
Built by the kings of old
The Wall - the last defense
Against the terrors of the cold
Here the oaths by Crows are taken
And here they make their stand
As ancient evils rise again
The Night's Watch guards this land
Far beyond the care of kings
Who vie for a single throne
This ragged lot of bastard-thieves
Against the North alone
Barbarians cruel and giant-men
Are tightening the vice
Yet risen wights; the truest threat -
White Walkers, gods of ice
The ancient evils rise again
And with them winter falls
Victims rise as deathly wights
Under the frost lords' call
Not seen for eight millenia
Since the dreaded longest night
Servants of Great Other
Rise to wage the eternal fight
Frozen death incarnate
The gods of ice arise
Staring with a soulless malice
Consuming pale blue eyes
The Kingsguard cannot save you
Nor the sworn Black Brothers
All life will be consumed and slain,
And taken by the Others
TAKEN BY THE OTHERS x 4
TAKEN BY THE OTHERS x 4
Mounted on ice arachnids
They bring the cold
Honour lost in our only hope
The Night's Watch
The realm is bled, unprepared
And all shall fear
Summer wanes, we are dying
Winter is here

Wrathfire

I am the one who is damned
For years I have kept the blade at bay
Alone on a silent journey I wander
Through blighted forests to dark mountain ways
I have seen the towers fall
The titans grey and old
The legion's force has spread too thin
Across the wasteland cold
I must invoke the ancient force
Before my hourglass fails
Unite the legion and restore
The sound of death's cold wails
WRATHFIRE
Remnants of the Black Legion scattered
And weakened by the titan grip of time
Leaving a wasting world of false idols
Unprepared for the purging wrath and flame
Inevitable is the coming chaos
Where the false ones bleed and wither
The lords of the underworld shall rise
And lay waste to reclaim the throne
Heaven's angels cannot save you
From the coming terrors
Unopposed shall be the rising
Of the Dark Lord's army
We who held the torches high
In darkness for an age
Shall rise above and claim the throne
With fire and primal rage
WRATHFIRE

The Undead Strike

STRIKE!!!
Blazing from the sky
On wings of blackened hate
The time to rise has come
Earthquakes and volcanoes
Shatter mankind's bastions
Leaving earth undone
War has reached all corners
of this shattered broken world,
Sigils of the undead realm
against the wind unfurled,
Torment, fire and death await
the brave and weak alike,
As the carnage falls you stand no chance
against the undead strike
STRIKE!!!
Rising from below
With vengeance in our blood
What chance you think you stand?
Our blades belong to Satan
Our will belongs to war
We exist to burn this land!
We who are of the black
Sing the language of the lost
To sunder, raze, destroy
This is our eternal oath
And all shall flee before us
And all shall fall before us
(for) we are the end of peace and life
We are the path to hell and fire
And all shall flee before us
And all shall fall before us
(for) we are the gift of war and pain
We are the storm of hell on earth

The Plague

Horrific mortal agony
The signs of death to come
Veins are boiling black
In pain my life undone
I try to scream
It drowns in viral blood
Awake I feel hell's fires
Asleep - the blighted flood
Frozen and aflame
Death my only certainty
Fading inside outwards
Of my blackened entity
Rending, picking, tearing
And ripping flesh from bone
Cyclonic writhing pain
In quarantine alone
This plague is my mortal nightmare
Surrender, join me in despair
Every second burns me
Demons clawing through my lungs
Mentally in torture
Screaming out in tongues
I pray aloud for death
To the higher powers
The grin of Death's visage
Yields agony for hours
The plague is culminating
Rending flesh within
The crux of hellish pain
In Death's immortal grin
Horrific mortal agony
The signs of death so near
Unlife my sweet salvation
Your realm I do not fear

Heretic
04:47
|
|||
|
How far we've walked along these roads in search of what might be
Forgotten honour and our will to pay to bend the knee
To think that we must cast aside all that we love for this
A hopeless realm of servitude that only sheep call bliss
Heretic!
Unholy man of God!
The scrolls and relics of ancient times destroyed as Satan's tools
Knowledge of our past is lost at the hands of greedy fools
Pagan prophets burned alive and thousands more were slain
All for the greater good of God to conquer in his name!
Heretic!
Unholy man of God!
All your life you've lived a lie
Grovelling on your knees
Praise unto your mythic being
To him alone you please
Ignoring hunger, war and pain
By God's will they'll be saved
Hastening man's destruction
And flocking to the grave
Judgment comes without remorse
As easy as your shit
You seek to damn the hearts of all
Who don't drink all your spit
And when the flames of Satans wrath
Sweep clean across the earth
The only mercy you shall have
Is a swift path to hell's hearth
Heretic!
Unholy man of God!
Die!

Colossus of War and Time
06:17

Behold our salvation
This idol of sacrifice
It demands our children
For the eternal march to war
In deserts black and red
Lie the graveyards
Havens for the damned
And our home at last
Chaos, bloodshed, brutality
These are its gifts to us
Death, valour, eternity
Engraved immortally
Let us gather in number
And join at the altar
Pray Ares! Join us!
In our death-construction
Colossus Of War
Victor Through Time
Behold our victory!
These ruins of desolation
Slaves for our children
For the blood sacrifice
And we will march
Unto the ends of time
Until we leave no footprints
In the sands beneath us
Chaos, bloodshed, brutality
These are its gifts to us
Death, valour, eternity
Engraved immortally
Let us gather in number
And join at the altar
Pray Ares! Join us
In our death-construction
Colossus Of War
Victor Through Time

Apocalyptic Skarro
Planet of constructed hate
The barren nuclear waste
Home of ruthless entities
Genetic and machine
The twisted master race
For they shall never rest
Until the stars are conquered
For they shall never rest
Merciless beings of hatred
Bred without emotion -
The weakness of all life
Encased in invulnerable metal
Destroying stars and planets
In eternal galactic strife
For they shall never rest
Until the stars are conquered
For they shall never rest
Technological madness
Their aim is to purify
To render life inanimate
You cannot reason with them
You cannot beg for life
Existence - exterminate!
For they shall never rest
Until the stars are conquered
For they shall never rest

A vision from the darkness
The world of men shall fall
Over all horizons
The Shadow's looming tall
From the window of the west
A pale light remains
Waning as the sun sets
Near-forever bound in chains
Can true hearts be corrupted?
Our courage has not failed
Remaining ever stalwart
Against the darkness veiled
As the days grow shorter
Ever He draws near
The white tree dead and barren
Our breath the edge of fear
The blade that was broken
Reforged for a ragged king
Long bereft of lordship
Claimant to His ring
In this is our salvation
To risk the path of gloom
Behold our greatest weapon
The light to Mordor's doom
FOR GONDOR!
Did you touch the darkness,
Oh wayward Son of Gondor?
They will hear your horn blow,
Like the cry of great Thorondor!
Yet not unto the silver gates,
Is where your journey takes you;
Death and valour beckon,
Ere the bane of Isildur breaks you.
Shall we weep for thee,
Oh wayward Son of Gondor?
The time of your calling
Is your awakening.
Wayward, wayward,
Wayward, ever wayward...
White clouds pull back,
To reveal the storm.
Away on the wings of redemption,
Your spirit is carried...
Wayward, wayward,
Wayward, ever wayward...

The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
by The Chasm
supported by 4 fans who also own “Taken by the Others”
This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+. Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one.
