1.	Our Souls Shall Fall Forever 09:04	lyrics	buy track
1) Our souls shall fall forever In the depths of despondency Proclaim the pamphlet of flaw As concepts disperse into mist and vapor We’re too lost to our salvation Further we fall beyond the reach of light Throwing oneself into transgression Unfailing fall towards the fathering dark Our souls shall fall forever Measuring the extend of scorn and dirt Dismal notions without redeeming value We’re too lost to our salvation Further we fall beyond the reach of light Remembering the silky taste of misfortune As despair ran down our parched throats We will find no solace in this world’s embrace No sapience to follow from a foaming mouth Further and further and further we fall and fall And fall and further and further we fall and fall We’re too lost to our salvation Further we fall beyond the reach of light As such the gambler will always Desiderate the bargain with death And there is nothing that we can do to escape our desolate fate How exquisite to plummet down from the peaks of excess All effort amounts to dissipating drops in the fathomless depths The excellence of being chosen by no-one As it all dissolves into a time before time
2.	To Writhe In The Womb Of Night 09:11	lyrics	buy track
2. Writhing in Woefulness A wail only heard in somber silence Besotted by unfolding stillness No matter how deep the rats are burrowing The grave remains as shallow as ever The splendor that lies in surrender To exult in the shadow of sadness In the absence of light and hope Lies the comfort of boundless indifference The scars only seen in divine twilight Begotten by gospels of sorrow No matter how shrill the bells are bellowing The tomb remains as luring as ever The excess in futile endeavour To wallow in the womb of emptiness In the absence of light and hope Lies the promise of a world without us And with laughter born in madness We shall sever the arteries of ascension Thoughts absorbed with absurdity Weeping within walls of stridence Only then we will know true horror The burial grounds couldn’t be more fertile No matter how tender the touch of death All dreams can only end in pain No matter how shrouding the cloak of flesh It could not mean any less No matter how quenching the scorch of flame True bliss writhes only in woefulness And with abundance Forever without light And with a tomb for a throne We watch another sun die
3.	A Shadow In The Fire - Pt. III (A Life Led By Loss) 10:12	lyrics	buy track
3. A Shadow In The Fire - PT. III (A Life Led By Loss) Another tragedy From the moment it began A shadow touched by death Alluding to something better The unending hurt From the moment it became A legacy of loneliness A victory that runs like sand through our hands Assiduously we’re weaving like sluggish spiders a maze of misery As the gates to bitter grief are always open and appealing And after all it was only a piteous lament of disowned orphans Another elegy From the moment of conception A dread as vast as night Adeptly tailored by widows The incessant howl From the moment it began A faithful vow of voraciousness A shepherd that feeds his dogs the finest lambs And the breeding never stops And the despair never ends Only absence can satisfy the fires of pale ambition Pallbearers blinded by burning emblems of imbued insignificance A palace surrounded by shadows in which no light will persist Amidst the ruin a desolate place for the deserted And here it is where the beast will howl in agony indefinitely And the ruin never ends And the great divide unfolds And the patterns fade And only the night knows Another eulogy From the moment of inception Under a hardened sky A desert that reflects our desiccated eyes The blossoming of bereavement Will wash away all what could have been The anguish that we bear from this moment on
4.	Triumphant Tongue Of A Thousand Swords 14:16	lyrics	buy track
4. Triumphant Tongue Of A Thousand Swords We’ve been given a new bliss Trapped inside a self-made hell Therein lies our triumph In glistening split and tongues Down this path to greatness! Imbued with sorrow Open the mouth of darkness In the cave of our hearts There was never a right choice, but a good-styled menu of odious options Therefore let this abyss swallow us all and ally all affliction within We’ve been nourished by a wish Withered inside a careless womb Therein lies pure profusion In blustering waves of blood An astounding triumph as the skies and abyss unite A nothingness greater than any fallen empire A tremendous tophet abound with eternal rest An authentic testament to true despair and universal death There was never a right choice, but a good styled menu of odious options Therefore let this fire consume us all and embalm all our needs within Show us the depth of darkness Reveal how deep our death can go Release us from this world’s charade And let us flee into the majesty of night Our purpose nullified Our souls sanctified Our hearts purified By the tempest of the night

Gegrepen Door de Geest der Zielsontluiking
by FLUISTERAARS

supported by 6 fans who also own “Descending Into A Deeper Darkness”

thanks Fluisteraars! I just love your music. A very good atmosphérique black metal band with experimental/ ambient passage. This album is literally one of my classics in my black metal journey. The first time I heard this record, I feel scared and no other album make me feel that. Just, I feel like it's probably my favourite black metal album of all time. Continue in that way ! quentin_milcent

Cult of a Dying Sun
by UADA

supported by 6 fans who also own “Descending Into A Deeper Darkness”

The "Cult..." is UADA's sophomore album, and among all, the one I largely prefer. The Vocal performance, to start with, is truly outstanding, and while I really liked their debut album, this one is more varied, and overall is technically superior to anything else I've heard from UADA. Fast, aggressive, but with enchanting melodies to break in between, à la Dissection. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74
