The Arcane Temptation
04:53
|
|||
|
Nine forsaken lives, gathering
Time and its secrets defied
Scrolls, forbidden tomes, summoning
Reading the script, ushering undeath
Brought beyond the brink, maddening
Sought eternal cipher of life
Crack the final seal, sorcery
Obeying the spell, devouring their ancient minds
Fractured consciousness longing for
Rapture, power displayed now, uncovered through death
Lurking shadows & voices rise
Searching, longing for souls to deny, to sate their
Arcane Temptation - Reborn
Ashes of life and the dreams of the colony
Rot, the flesh of disowned
Mind of the hive pushing back, spurning
Arcane Temptation fulfilled
Memories fade while the magic is prospering
Seek: The power to kill
Passing the ritual down to the three who will be chosen
Fractured tentacles draw the lines
Faces scarred and bare
Mucus membrane drained, exposed
Revered in flesh and bone, lichdom
Trap their minds, the chosen jewel
Bound to live as one
Drink the lives and blood, of elves
Sacred ritual

Red Shadows
04:19
|

|
Netheril, folly brought them down
Avatar of gods spelling doom
Barriers, crashing to the ground
Ruins of the enclave their tomb
Serpentine, skins of precious gold
Fundamental knowledge arcane
Factum, beckoning the bold
Called into this ancient domain
Silhouettes rise
Stalking unfortunate pawns, seeking the tome
Lethal, Red Shadows
Slithering wretch of untimely death
Evil, Red Shadows
Skulking through tombs, now branding your doom
Sold out, betrayed
Backstabbing blackguard
Kingdom decayed
Before the wizards

Maze Controller
03:17
|
|||
|
Strike the flint, lighting up the hall
Circled by the dead, decomposing thralls
Bard plays the strings, fighter taking heads
Master of the crawl fills the party with dread
Labyrinth running down twisting spirals through the earth
The foulest creatures bide hoarding treasure beyond worth
Peering from the screen, laying down the law
Scanning over tomes and the board
Into the depths, stealing your soul
Magics at work in the deep far beyond your control
Rolling the die, dealing the cards of your fate, bleeding you dry
Throw, for death, rolling to survive
Pleading for success, failure is contrived
Bracing for the blow as the polyhedrons fall
Standing at the edge of your life
Into the depths, stealing your soul
Magics at work in the deep far beyond your control, rolling the die
Dealing the cards of your fate, bleeding you dry at his command
Critically hit, Maze Controller crushing your will, makes you submit

+1 Mace
04:22
|

|
Visions of Helm, inspiring, embolden
Warrior of faith, songs of glory
Pursing his lips, teachings to uphold
Radiance of dawn shining down, upon them now
Robed and armed, fitted out with steel and
Philosophies of gold, on the scrolls bound
Armament of Gods, glimmering with zeal
Resting at the palm of his hand, taking command
Oathbound, the vanguard of faith
Companions and fighters of renown
Blow, he's cracking their skulls, and shattering bones
The victims of iron and steel are exposed
Now sundering limbs, while chanting his hymns
Extending the force of his plus-one mace
On carrion fields, reeking death
Seek divine
Strength, power to wield holy might
Beams of lightning shine
Crack, thundering force, high above
In the sky
Grip conduit rod, funnel down
Surge, splitting the ground due to mighty

Lords of Pen and Paper
07:11
|
|||
|
Meeting of shields on the fourth year
Secreted liege, cryptic and dark
Veiled in their guise, keeping unclear
Titles and jewels, bearing no weight on the
Motives and schemes, covert plotting
Twisting the fates of unlucky lives
Sands of the glass, slowly watching
Tracking the grains of methodized destiny
Now forming their plans
Plots, centuries spanned
Maintaining control
Fate, power behold
Lords of pen & paper rise
Heed, across the breadth of time
Now ink the lives of men
Fear, the dice will bring their end
Casting the mold to establish
Terrible beasts, sending them forth
Planting the seeds of the harvest
Marking the souls, extending the tendrils of
Nobles and kings, Gods incarnate
Regal divine, gazing above
Penning the trails on the parchment
Conjuring hills and shaping the capitals
Fighting for your life, send them back now
Back to nine
Biding time 'til lords' abandon
Act, the time is nigh
Scorch the maps while melting resin
Burn them all
Question the wise, question their will
Reality blurring the lines and truth
Now as you break through the fourth wall

Saving Throw
02:33
|
|||
|
Wielding his grip, craft of the fingertips
Modifiers fail as you roll a natural one
Players assess, fury of the dragon's breath
Snaking through the ruins, turn around, acid death
Poison creeps in, surging through your skin
Seeping out your pores as you clutch onto your chest
Reap what you sow, can't escape the final blow
Sinking at the table with a failed Saving Throw
Clutching the scroll, lips of the mage unfold
Caught between the blast as the fireball erupts
Writhing on the ground, stench of the flesh compounds
Bodies turned to ash from the chaos, all around
Halflings aflame, wizard laying claim
Incinerating skulls with the hands of burning death
Reap what you sow, can't escape the final blow
Sinking at the table with a failed Saving Throw

Wolves Beyond the Border
03:57
|
|||
|
Far away in the gleaming west
A savage cult, wizard's revolt
Axe and the arrow, put to the test
Silvered king with lion's roar, sought on the docks
Archaic jewel, thrust by a fool
Crossing the Thunder River tonight
Wolves Beyond the Border to die
Hungry for steel, leave none alive
Go, press the attack
Deafening roar as the iron makes contact
Wretched, worms from the earth
Offering blood, proving their worth
Cunning, the painted witch
Raising the crown for the clans, baring her plan

Extremely well done. A spiritual successor to the heavier parts of Agalloch's first two LPs. However, don't be fooled - this goes beyond homage - it is a great work in itself that distinguishes itself from others in the black/folk genre.
