lyrics
Long miles through places of strain
I’ve seen nothing but long time in hungered stride
To the other side of worlds in decay
Mind eccentric in thought of road
To a mortal facing wear
Bloody howl from an iron horse
Falling to an eerie silence
Mecca calls for eager partition of impious rule
Levied resistance upon the stage of the world
Beast ridden tribesmen fight in irregular war
The virtues of youth are those of war
Al-Houl
This be cause for final revolution
Daring raids hold fast to greater resolution
Ordered sanctions of expedient task into war
War, war, war, war
A thousand camels, a thousand knives
Cracking rifles, a thousand bombs
A sea in which no oar is turned
The Arabs strike anywhere
Across the desert, against the Turks
For independence, we fight!
Descended command stands within Bedouin robe
Under raining smoke clouds of mortal part
Courage, strength, hope for the future
He who brings victory is prized!
Promised them freedom, independence from Ottoman rule
Generals, scheming, Sykes-Picot, we were fooled
The politicians, old men, know whom they scheme
But a man is unsure who tells only half lies!
I drew these tides of men into my hands
I wrote my will across the stars
To earn your people’s freedom
Death seemed my servant
Until we came near
When you smiled upon me
In sorrow and envy
The sunlight in the desert
The taste of wild winds
The new world we fought for
The many lives we lived
On trailing campaigns
For victory we fought
Stuck between the past and future
Nothing is written
Nothing is written
Nothing is written....

A Pagan black metal masterpiece.
Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

Hungarian melodic black metal, with a gloomy atmosphere yet so enchanting melodies, with amazing guitar work. The artist(s) define the band as minimalistic but the mastering and production leave nothing behind, making this album sounding just perfectly arranged. The cover art and the band logo are killer too !! sachavonkarl74
