lyrics

The Mask of Judgement, the Helm of Darkness
Crown of the Chthonic King who weighs human souls
The curved horns of ivory, the lidless eyes
The grafted face of the Dark Bridgekeeper, faceless forevermore

Will you don the Mask, the Mask of Judgement?
And witness through its eyes what cannot be unseen?
Mortal men perceive this world through veils and shadows;
Through the Mask even the weakest can see with eyes unclouded.

Locked away beneath the Earth
A sepulchre of godly worth
The Mask is buried with the bodies of all who strove to wear it
The dessicated bones of kings and heroes line the tomb
Their ascension fuelled by divine sight
That also spurred their fall

Journey to the womb of the world
Where death was born, where demigods are interred.
Don the Mask, gain the knowledge divine,
Ascension towards death!

Journey to the womb of the world (The Mask of the Judgement, the Helm of Darkness)
The relic sleeps, awaiting those who dream
To rise into realms of the Divine
To see truth and be.

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
