They buried her in a dark
Lonely, distant place
With only a name -- obscured
Withering dusk has fallen
Upon the ground
It freezes when it's viewed
By mortal eyes
When we discovered her
Her bones had turned black
We carried them in our hands
And set them free
Tearing them from my hands
I watched them fall
In slow motion turned these relics
Never to be seen again
And turned to dust
By the weight of time
We will all be crushed
They found me in a self-dug grave
Obscured by the snow
Until it melted
Down into a stream

A worthy successor to Litourgiya. Same brilliant and unique Orthodox atmosphere mixed with the crushing intensity of black metal. It’s a shame about the Batushka schism and unfortunate for me that it caused me to wait on checking this sequel out for so long. 8/10 RJ
