Minstrel of Mourning

Lyrics by: Stevo St. Vitus/Jeffrey Roland Brown
Dressed in a shadow, dance between the graves
The first beams of nightfall appear, and pass away
Soft song of sorrow, my ebon bow has played
This new day of Mourning, mother I have made...
Fables into reality, a script for the last to fall
A hymn for those who've passed away,
Song of the Reaper's call...
Sadness...crushing my heart
Madness...now we're apart
Nothing left to do but mourn
Weeping...are you out there??
Weeping...so heavily...

Lyrics by: Stevo St. Vitus
-Introduction-
- Part 1 -
The Ultimate Benediction;
And Beginning of the Final Battle
- Part 2 -
Captivity;
Prisoner of the Black Ones
Frozen amongst the soil
Derelict of misfortune
Eclipse of the Sun
Escape from the veldt of white
In chains, I stumble in vain
The meeting hour of the fate
'Twixt the aeons alight
Awaiting the hour...sired
Blood on the snow, the frosted glow
The calm of eternal sky
Crisp, the sweep, of enchanted sleep
When nature's anger survives the fire...
- Part 3 -
Ambush and Confrontation
Upon the mountainside, we clashed at last
'Til death, the battle raged into the night...
Fulfill my ordained goal, my somber task
To die in honour, (or) return to Earth alive
Blood on the snow, the frosted glow
The calm of eternal sky
Crisp, the sweep, of enchanted sleep
When nature's anger survives the fire...
- Part 4 -
Against Insurmountable Odds
(solo: Hardesty)
- Part 5 -
Fading Strength;
Sorrow and Hopelessness
To rule again the Earth
We'd fight until we end, again...
The night is cold, a hundred years have told
The Sun never begins
The snow imprisons the bodies
Encased in blood and ice
The Equinox occurs, the chill concurs,
But never quite subsides
Blood on the snow, the frosted glow
The calm of eternal sky
Crisp, the sweep, of enchanted sleep
When nature's anger survives the fire...
- Part 6 -
Oath of Defiance; Humility of Defeat
"To be thine enemy, my wish ever still...
To kill thee, my blessing and Destiny's will...
If day ever comes, ne'er shall I run
In chains I wait, for the Sun to save the day..."
- Part 7 -
Death March of the War Prisoners;
Sorrow and Hopelessness
(solo: Stevo St. Vitus)

Lyrics by: Warren D. Slocum
I believe I have expired
I don't remember how I got here
I think I feel something on my flesh...
It must be worms, crawling through my brain...
A shadowed figure, a black silhouette
It must be hovering
In its cloak of darkness, hovering...
Trying to snatch my soul away,
I can feel it tugging at my brain
Feeling the torment of the encrypted
Weaker ever hour, the pull on my mind has shifted...
The entrance to the Underworld
Since I'm dead, are you gonna let me in?
What if I'm stranded here forever,
What if I have to lie here and decay?
Will they ever let me in,
Am I doomed to total damnation?
Doesn't everyone get an equal chance?
At least let me know what I have done
I don't deserve total damnation
Who ever said that death was fair...
Will I ever be reincarnated?
Is this the destiny for which I am fated?
(solo: Hardesty)
NOOOOOOO!!!
So I say again, let me in!!!
Why are you laughing at me??
Don't leave me in this wooden shell!
Don't take me down to the depths of Hell...

Old Man Tree

Lyrics by: Stevo St. Vitus
Old Man Tree...Solitary mystery
Ancient Elder of the secret society
Years have passed
You've viewed them all judiciously
Wise are thee, I kneel before you in humility...
In the forest green
The wind blows here so quietly
Dwelling in peace, all revealed for you to see
I can feel you breathe
Alive and here for centuries
Old Man Tree, we're pleading for your sympathy
Old Man Tree... Where the Sun can never see
The quiet anger boiling over furiously
Tell me, tell me the answer, give me the key
Old Man Tree, how can I end your misery?
(solo: Tom Kirk)
(solo: Hardesty)
Silence falls...
On foolish men and their fantasy
See them crawl, crawling for your mercy
Can you forgive us,
Forgive us for what we've done to thee
Darkness falls on our reign of stupidity...

The Room of Shadows
by Pagan Altar (Official)
supported by 76 fans who also own “Minstrel of Mourning”
I am a late comer to this band, I played the first track and instantly bought the album. The guitar tone, riffing style and melodies are so impeccably chic and elegant. Something I haven't heard in a long time being of a Dissonant BM listener. What a treat!

This album is a doom metal masterpiece with black metal undertones. I love the medieval vibe. EPIC.

Solid Epic Doom. Not my favorite of theirs (New Dark Age), but for ANYONE who is a Candlemass or Solitude Aeturnus fan please apply.

The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.

Deranged Pagan Sons
by Cardinals Folly

The band play a spectacular heavy style of Doom Metal that may sound theatrically at times. It is a stunning and beautifully well-crafted album that will appeal to both long-time fans of the band and the casual doom metal fan.
