Beyond the walls
that fence the sheep
where road's abyssal endings reach
beneath sheets of blanket waves
far beyond the midnight caves
we see no light, we see no dawn
we tend the necropolis of the gods
Why did we come here?
why did we leave?
the wind has died beneath the tide
now sorrow is our yield
the corn that once was golden
the grass that once was green
zealous servants the giant's thralls
we answered the humble prayers of the gods
Why did you come here?
to follow in our stead?
we spend our days in pious chains in service to the dead
sepulchre of the serpent we worship on this bed
awaiting her exalted return
in drowned hallways the black candles burn
Fire!

My cell my sail my self
although there's nothing left
I taste the flame against
the hand of god
Sorrow on the left
leaving me bereft
I toil I try I martyr
but why bother
Hollowness inside
impetus hath petrified
I taste a whisp of cold night air
Sol and Luna unified

Let's put fantasy aside
and fantasise about another life
this poetry comes from inside
harmonised by the daggers of strife
Life living got me feeling
like there's no way out no give in
fuck meaning fuck giving it my all
fuck forgiving and fuck the crawl
I got no sinning
I'm just losing my mind
on the left hand path no fear of suicide
blood boiling take it down to a simmer
blood gone cold what more did you want to know
The beginning the paradise lost
no vocation no prodigal cost
fuck living gonna waste my time
accomplish nothing gonna wait in line
dog digging gonna taste the earth
self mutilate desecrate revert
deserting fuck all earnings
no hopes left afterlife that I'm yearning

Tendons cut impede the arc
of graceful limbs in dungeon stark
a toungeless cry of handsome flesh
once deified now carcass fresh
Risen as an antichrist
to damn the world and rule as king
his flesh and blood to pay the price
his kinsmen slain in offering
To mark the rite on eve of blood
the nightmares walk on mortal plain
devouring all that stand against
and feed them with a crimson stain

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 6 fans who also own “In Pious Chains”
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!
