lyrics

But all of this
Was long ago.
The names of gods
Both ebb and flow.

You have come here beneath the earth to seek
The artefact which raises up the weak
To godly realms of false divinity;
We are those who fell prey to its deceit.

KINGS AND HEROES
ALL FORSWORN
GODS AND GODDESSES IN LIFE
NOW TRAPPED WHERE
DEATH WAS
BORN

Ignore our warning at your own peril!
Though you've ventured where evil creatures dwell,
You are not prepared to face the truth
The Mask of Judgement
Will consume you!

As I lay my eyes upon The Mask of Judgement,
I feel the weight of the souls who wore it:
Their might, their grace, their lust for power;
Kingdoms, empires, revered as Messiahs!

With it I'll join the ranks of their greatness:
Divine, Hallowed, worshipped, venerated.
No more thieving, starving,
I'll destroy the law men cowardly kings HIDE BEHIND

Don The Mask
Don The Mask
Don The Mask
Don The Mask

DON THE MASK OF JUDGEMENT,
BEGIN YOUR ASCENSION!
DESTROY, ENSLAVE THOSE WHO SCORNED YOU
REWRITE THE LAW, REWRITE HISTORY !
THE CULT OF THE THIEF
HAS BEGUN!

Blessed He With Boils (2012)
by Xanthochroid

An incredible album, especially for a first-time release. The clean vocals are majestic, the blackened vocals scream and shriek for revenge, and combination fuels a compelling story. Alturúk

Khaooohs And Kon-Fus-Ion
by Pan.Thy.Monium

Dan Swano has written too many good albums to list. The atmospheres he creates are always thick and unusual, with a sense of high fantasy that absorbs the listener and doesn't let them escape. Alturúk
