Vesania (Latin for insanity) is a Polish symphonic black metal/blackened death metal band. They were formed in 1997 by Orion, Daray, and Heinrich. Later members were Annahvahr and Hatrah, who left the band in 1999 and was replaced by Siegmar.
Their first album, Moonastray, was a split with Black Altar, released in 2002 by Odium Records, exclusively in Poland. The release was limited to 666 copies and each album was signed with blood. 2003 saw the release across Europe of their first full-length album, Firefrost Arcanum, by Empire Records. This was followed by the departure of band member Annahvahr. Their second album God the Lux was released in April, 2005, and shortly thereafter Valeo (Sammath Naur, Mortis Dei) joined the band as lead guitarist. Their third album, Distractive Killusions, was released in 2007 on Napalm Records, from which came their first single Rage of Reason. The vocals include screaming and low growling.
I light the candles on my own grave
deep flames are burning and bleeding
Night
hundreads of eyes without life
surround me
they have darkened dead ones
everyone nailed with a golden cross
to the rocks
somewhere
surrounded by the dry trees
on the truncated stump
senile from the teers of rain
stands a sun-dial
but there is no sun
its face gleams in time with Thunders
Thunders strike the hours
Woman among the trees
has a Black Ring
She is going to stand in a Magic Circle
rises Her hands
tight hand with Ring slowly spreads
Goddess
freezed in immobility
fingers are growing longrer
they are creating a thicket
of branches
Her statuesque body
becomes a dry trunk
now in this place stands a tree
dry as others
but in the place of Ring
blossoms a Black Flower
She was crying
now tears fo rain are flowing slowly on Her bark
She was breathing
now wind tongles in Her branches
the candles on my grave are burning for Her
they died out
they succumbed to the breath of wind...
