about
Elysian Blaze - The Virtue of Suffering
lyrics
How many nights, must I walk
Following your trail of blood?
And how many ways, must I show you
That these footprints are mine?
Soli Deo Gloria!
Lighter of the heart, fire from the dark
Face Down!
Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark
Face Down!
Soli Deo Gloria!
I gave you everything!
My heart, my life, my soul!
Still you push me down!
(and so the light becomes a fallen star)
I gave you everything!
My heart, my life, my soul!
Still you push me down!
(and so we praise)
Soli Deo Gloria!
Lighter of the heart, fire from the dark
Face Down!
Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark
Face Down!
Soli Deo Gloria!
I’ll light the way, in spite of pain
Fire from the heart, lighter of the dark
Face down!
I’ll make you suffer…
I am fire!
Reckless abusive swarm
Speak thy word and suffer more!
For thine embers burn without pain…
Star! Blaze!
Ad scoria, sans Gloria!
Twilight bring forth the Ares Blade!
Sans Gloria, ad scoria!
So let the ocean height
Ignite and separate
For aeons hath opened wide
To descend into mortal death…
Soli Deo Gloria!
Light the way O Spirit,
Light the way back, back into beyond!
To free your fallen soul, we bleed…
We bleed to seek beyond the light!
Light the way O Spirit,
Light the way back Morning Star…
We bleed to free our souls again!
Beneath the star of mortal death…
We bleed to free our souls again!
Light the way O Spirit,
Through endless night.
Light the way back Morning Star,
Lead us beyond the light…
Beyond the light!
We soar…
Over God.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
