BLOOD OF THE ANGELS
The fall, a story that’s been told
Wandering haywire in thirst of His glory
With a fire in mind and a heart stone cold
With mind on fire and a heart stone cold
Wandering 'round a funeral pyre
Closed down forever are the gates of gold
In thirst of His glory
I douse my mind with blood of the angels
In thirst of His glory
I warm my heart in the embers of burned temples
In thirst of His glory
I douse my heart with the ashes of paradise
In thirst of His glory
I calm my mind in the absence of light

WE DANCE
There is an empty space between faith and catatonic dream
A blind spot on the map of our own private hearts
No drug nor miracle could fill it
Our Lord is gone
Now,
He is gone
Faith drug miracle dream
Our Lord is gone
He's long gone now
And we serve no one
But unchained chaos
And we dance, we dance in filth
While the whole world is watching
As we dance in pain
Come and join us
As we sing, we sing anthems of the fall
For the world to hear
An anthem rising from the filth
A song of a horrid kind, besmeared with tears
As we sing in pain
Faith drug miracle dream
Filth pain struggle dream

LIKE ANTS AND SNAKES
One thing you can learn from the stones
Is to hold your breath a little longer
until you find peace
and tenderness
In the company of the soil
Another thing you can learn from the stones
Is to keep your beloved close
Like ants and snakes
Others will come to you
With the company of the soil
Keep them far from the sun
In moisture and mould
On a pillow of moss
On a bed of dirt
Like ants and snakes

I AM THE ARM
No dream is ever just a dream
Nor is the dawn shelter like it seems
I dip my flesh in a silver stream
Cleanse the black night out from within
The room felt darker than before
In the absence of my very soul
With a bitter aftertaste of life
My tongue will bleed for evermore
With an oak head crowned is my body
A pitch black sight lays down before
Two never-closing eyes
My tongue will bleed for evermore
I am the fire
I am the arm

CONSTANT SWAY
Do you see me as a madman
Do you see me as insane
While I sway around in silence
And you hear no music strain
Would you dance around with me
Would you throw your mind away
After all we're stuck in motion
Our course in constant sway

Voluntarily Gone

VOLUNTARILY GONE
I am a nowhere man
Carving beauty out of abyss
Partly focused on the pain
Partly praise the nearing end
You are a nowhere girl
Carrying stones of the past
In a pocket meant for dreams
I know for sure they won’t last
Each stone pitched into the abyss
Each burden that you have thrown
Is a part of our future
Dream that’s voluntarily gone
Each particle of dust
Each breath that felt like a thorn
Is a piece of our love
Dream that ‘s voluntarily gone

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski
supported by 12 fans who also own “Like Ants and Snakes”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.

Awesome album. Raw, aggressive, overwhelming. Pure Icelandic bliss.

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :)

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.....
