The Ways of Old

This world is evil
Purge the earth
Of all unrighteous filth
Bring forth a fresh plague
That life may begin anew
Cleanse this sphere
Let natures course consume
May those that remain
Inherit terra firma pure
We are a cancer
Devouring, destroying
The soil, water, air
Despite ourselves
We are the cure
If returned to the natural ways
A divine order of old
Set in place by our creator

Time is genocide
Of all my dreams
With age and wisdom
I now abort them
To alleviate their birth pain
Too many seeds planted
Too little harvest to show
My ambitions withered
My spirit broke
With each new day
I lament the rising sun
It’s golden light a beacon
For the death of yesterday
Dusk brings mourning
Buried in darkness
It’s ghosts will haunt me
With all that is left in shade
I will seek to bear witness
To days without names
Taste the blood of a savior
Living water flowing
From a ne’er ending stream

A Primal Urge
06:41
|

Yahweh Shalom
Lord of light and peace
That thou would grant me
Wisdom and strength
So I may stand, withstand
And restrain
My tongue as it burns
With rage
Desires unholy, unrighteous
To vindicate and defend
Your kingdom, my belief
(Chorus)
A primal urge to call down fire
When quenching divisive flames
Would be the desire of thee
I ought sow seeds of love
While these times cultivate hate
I grow weary of turning
The other cheek
Being struck down, being meek
The putrid stench of false piety
Is more than I can bear
Yet I - no better - dare not intervene
With indignation
A sorrow born of disgust
Dare I internalize attacks on you
As a personal aggression against me?
(Chorus)

Vials of Wrath Maryville, Tennessee
Nature-inspired metal intent on evoking solitude with an affinity for the divine.
Vials of Wrath recommends:
...and the lamps expire.
by Addaura
Great Cascadian-style metal in the vein of Wolves In The Throne Room and Agalloch. Very atmospheric and organic sound. Highly recommended.
go to album
Another gem drawing inspiration from nature. Very nice acoustic passages and ambient sections intertwine with raw, aggressive black metal. Another great addition to the catalog of fans of Agalloch.
go to album
Excellent, thought-provoking album with beautiful artwork to compliment. Very close to Drudkh in style (to me); dark, intense and folk influenced with a hint of melancholic atmosphere. Recommended.

Forest of Iniquity
by Within Thy Wounds
supported by 61 fans who also own “The Ways of Old”
Brilliant, magical. Vivid soundscapes and feelings. Perfection! But, I have to admit, listening and taking a christian metal album into my collection is not something that I would normally do. Nonetheless, the music won me over, so I ignored everything else. Within Thy Wounds crafted here a transcendental, emotional atmosphere. Nothing can beat this.

Great unblack album with an Orthodox theme to it.
