Deep under the soil we sleep
Yes, we sleep and we dream pestilence
And storm cloud-like swarms of locusts
To rage on the lands of men
We were before the light
Descended unto thee
And we will be after the shades
Consume the life out from thee
Prepare and hide your fear-ridden souls
Death is nigh and its hunger is restless
From beyond and from the below
To the realms among the fading stars
From the womb of the dark and the dead
Crawled out the horrors with blackest hearts
From within the bowels of the earth
Towards the throne far beyond the falling gods
Come forth!
Ye spawn of restless fire!
Ride with me!
O' harvester of blood!
Prepare and bury your hopes deep
The night is here and its cold is endless
From beyond and from the below
To the realms among the fading stars
From the womb of the dark and the dead
Crawled out the horrors with blackest hearts
From within the bowels of the earth
Towards the throne far beyond the falling gods

Swarming Blackness

Nameless corpses without graves
Bloated bodies filled
With parasitic devil seeds
Ancient curses coming into flesh
If one can be raped in nightmares
Beyond the laws of reason
Where could I ever hide?
Where could I ever hide?
Deep into the endless darkness
Deep into the nameless blackness
Lifeless beings and yet they move
And the shadows... I can hear them laugh!
Where could we ever hide?
If the worlds of wake
And sleep were to collide
And madness and death
Should walk as free
Deeper into the perfect darkness
Deeper towards the end
The shadows... Their laughter never ends!
Unwillingly I have lived, now I must yield

A night of sepulchral curses
What a wondrous night indeed
To seek pathways spiraling downwards
Towards depths unknown
What lies in darkness I do not dare to guess
Yet deeper and deeper I tread
Further! Further! Come closer, they said
Forgotten tongues whispering in feverish dreams
Tongues, in thousand gaping mouths
Mouths spewing fire, Fire of the Under
This eventide differs from the others before
There is a presence behind the moon
Lingering above, yet calling from below
Oh, how could I resist this urge
Can you hear the roaring streams of Phlegethon
Smell the poisonous mists rising from Élivágar
Behold! The nest of the serpent before us
Obsidian eyes watching, judging our souls
Are you the one inside me
You, the eleven-headed nifel-wyrm
Further! Further! Come closer, they said
Forgotten tongues whispering in feverish dreams
Tongues, in thousand gaping mouths
Mouths spewing fire, Fire of the Under
There is no going back, no ways to return
Demonic madness I welcome thee to take me

Eyes Inside

On the third hour of the crimson moon
Thoughts broke through the temple of my skull
Writhing in the air like parasitic worms
Taking new forms as pictures and colors
Is the body able to follow the soul
Running inside solid matter
Are my bones able to withstand the pressure
When I'm swimming below oceans' floors
From the bloodied crescent descended an old crow
And with a faint voice it whispered into my ear
"Inside the heart of darkness remains
A spider web-like maze of a dead god
And in its core lies the ninth sight
Where now must your dreams reside"
At the break of the blazing dawn
I devoured eleven arteries and their rotting blood
Now my body is able to run in substances
To follow the wandering soul
Now my bones won't shatter
Under the weight of waters
On the steps to the mass graves of worlds
I saw the space to tear itself apart
And in the blistering light of Celestial Eye
I was blessed with the absence of rationality

Church of Loss

I am becoming you
O’ god of corpses
Of horrendous abominations
And of woeful misdeeds
I am becoming you
O’ glorified whore of Bethlehem
I am your infertile bosom
Your stillborn messiah child
I am becoming your
Worm-ridden deathbed
Where you shall lie
For all eternity
Until all is reduced to none
There you shall lie
In the middle of the collapsing cosmos
Alone, forgotten in darkness
I am becoming your
Cathedral of failure
Monuments of defeat
Your holy church of loss
I am the end
I am Death

I am becoming one with the dust of the earth
A proud host for carrion birds
And all the other rogues of the wild alike
If only they were still alive and breathing
The code of existence revealed and exposed
To the fumes of the underworld
I feel the rupturing inside of me
Is this the final sight of mankind
Last visions before the weary eyes
Dead stars drawing colorless spirals
A gateway constructed
With the remains of the heavenly martyrs
Lifeless aeon painting itself
A gateway constructed
Dead stars drawing colorless spirals
The code is broken, infected and rotting
And the only truth that ever was
We were never meant to be
Is this the final sight of mankind
Last visions before the weary eyes
Dead stars drawing colorless spirals
A gateway constructed
With the remains of the heavenly martyrs
Lifeless aeon painting itself
A gateway constructed
Dead stars drawing colorless spirals
Winds from the beyond are calling
A lullaby so cold and malign
Yet… Rather… Soothing…
I have become one with the dust of the earth

Katson maailmaa kaukaa ja syrjästä
Katson lyijypilvien vyöryvän horisontista
Meren aaltojen lailla pikimusta massa
Peittää kituvan auringon valon
Muistan kuninkaat loistokkaissa saleissaan
Suuret herrat, johtajat, ylpeät valloittajat
Koristavat nyt joukkohautoja muassa orjiensa
Muistan muurit, korkeat Babylonin tornit
Ihmisen vallan monumentit, kaikki raunioina
Sekunnissa elämä, kekäleessä kaikkeus
Nopeasti syttyy, nopeasti sammuu
Tyhjyyden syliin on kaiken palattava
Nopeasti on nukuttava pois
Ei kukaan enää valvo valtaistuimilla
Kanna kruunua, valtikkaa, hienoa silkkistä viittaa
Sekunnissa elämä, kekäleessä kaikkeus
Nopeasti syttyy, nopeasti sammuu
Tyhjyyden syliin on kaiken palattava
Nopeasti on nukuttava pois
Pelon, kauhun voi haistaa
Nähdä saaliinsa silmistä sen
Kun veri kirjailee hetken viimeisen
Huomista ei ole, ei eilistä
Aika on kuollut, jos sitä koskaan olikaan
Päivät, vuodet unohdettu
Niin unohtuu ihmisrotukin
Muistan hurmevirtojen kimalteen
Kuoleman tuoksun, karmiinin aamukasteen
Uhriroihut yötaivaita valaisten
Tuhkaa silmänkantamattomiin
Harmaata, rikinkatkuista sadetta
Tähän maisemaan on kaikki päättynyt
Ja pian päätyn minäkin
Paljon olen kulkenut, nähnyt liikaakin
Nyt soisin itseni vaipuvan
Kunnes jokin uusi jumala
Synnyttää lapsensa
Paljon olen kulkenut, nähnyt liikaakin
Nyt soisin itseni vaipuvan
Kunnes jokin uusi jumala
Synnyttää lapsensa

Striving Toward Oblivion
by VORGA
supported by 568 fans who also own “Only Ashes Remain”
Never say Never, as they say, maybe just "later"... that's what happened to me with Vorga. Seen them live, was not in the right mood maybe, but the new release "Beyond the Palest Star" convinced me to give this album a try too, and I was happy I did. Vorga play very good, fine melodic Black Metal !!
