lyrics

I was born in solemn wrath from the mouth of forces shrouded in night
Whose nature not even myself can begin to fully grasp
The curse of my essence carried by hapless men
And passed on in ignorance into their brethren
So I can leave in the wake of my flight anguish mankind has known since dawn

I exist as a reminder of the everlasting frailty of men
To teach humility through the most bitter sight of loved ones burning
To be humbled by this overwhelming grief

Merciless arrival

Wearing the face of demons, I was known by many names through time and land
Execrator from the nameless void, smother the hubris of nations

Each time I´ve returned, it has always been the same
Mankind is so predictable
Suffering can never truly change

“Clear the slate of this world” such words they spoke to me
“ Flies shall inherit this wretched place”
“Go forth, arise and erase”

Lest they become the parasite they are surely headed to be
The spawn of Eve has played its role and thus comes cleansing

Extinction is the way, the key to existence

I exist as a reminder of the everlasting frailty of men
To teach humility through the most bitter sight of loved ones burning
To be humbled by this overwhelming test from “God”
A great rapture devoid of all grace
This might unforeseen I´ve been granted
No hope shall be laid in their hearts
No shepherd to guide them away from this torment
Foretold in the words of the elder
Recited by heart by those deemed insane
They spoke of redemption through disgrace

The omens are true
I am awaken
Darkness prevails

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams

supported by 32 fans who also own “Arrival”

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
