Litany Of Iah
07:08
|
|||
|
From the abstract orisons of time
To the primordial ocean of existence
The Gods are watching us
On their glowing celestial boats
Falling from the purple sky
The child of the moon spreads
Unknown colors and dancing lights
Praised be the mirror of the night
Fruit of an ancient abandoned empire
Wanderer among the illumination
Watching where Ra lies down
The white disk of wisdom
Lulling the dreamers away
From the sufferings
Taking the chosen ones by the hands
In the sacred fields of Osiris
The dogmas of the underworld
Feed on fear and madness
While wizards spread blood and black bile
On the shining obsidian sacrificial altar
Iâh...!
Blue and yellow gold remains worthless
The sacred papyri have lost their value
And now begins the era of the serpent-kings
Prostrate and take an oath to your new gods
To enslave us until the end
They will sing the litany of Iah
And when the scarlet tragedy comes
For all to join the pit of death
They will come to Earth to take us all
Then our sins will be brought before the cosmic justice
Each one will know that their true nature
Has no more prestige than dust

An Ancient Age
07:52
|

|
Forty-two suns have shone on our flesh
The fallen child has risen from his throne
The sound of the drums took our breath away
And singing serpents have cursed our souls
Black forces are unleashed
And still remain like stains
Born and sacrified for the gods
We are all lost
Summoning the serpent-god
Praying to the reptilian forms
The masked sovereign holds
The scepters from an ancient age
Their forked tongue whispers
Of divine tales and wonders
And their eyes only reflects
The lure of gold
Summoning the serpent-god
Praying to the reptilian forms
The masked sovereign holds
The scepters from an ancient age
Myths are turning to dust
Blown by the air
The altar of the ancient gods
Submerged by the waters
And all the golden treasures
Taken under the earth
At the advent of the king
Glorified by the flames
And while the shadows goes astray
The great architects fade away
Swallowed by the starry sky
Leaving behind, an ancient age

The Passenger Of Nout
09:11
|

I keep looking at the orison
Hoping to find my true nature
Chained in this superficial prison
Life remains a narrow torture
Wandering through the ages
Beyond the limits of the sky
Embracing your empyrean flesh
I will be the passenger of your love
Ocean of light
Bless me with your holy tears
Bring me your benediction
On this journey in your arms
In you, I believe
No temple would be enough
Nothing could pierce your secrets
You are my mother, my wife
You, soiled in my dreams
You saw the birth of the gods
Who fell from your milky ribbon
Arrived to bring us salvation
They will remain engraved in the minds
The stones that rise high in the sky
Will be the doors that lead to where you lay
Where your name no longer matters
Far away...
My goddess of stars...
Take me away, take me away
Among the travelers, among the creators
Among the dancing suns
Far from suffering and torment
Far from wars and false sovereigns
Far from men and their madness
Make me a complete being among
Those who come from Above | Ceux qui viennent d'En-Haut
I want to drown into your colors
These shades of blue that govern the void
The excitement is at its paroxysm
Let me feel you until the end of time
Swimming in this vast black infinity
Mother of Seth and Osiris
I am now one of your stars

The Eternal Confinement
09:14
|
|||
|
Guided by the litany of the gods
Under the cold light of the moon
My dress torn by the violation
My knees sore from prostrations
This life given by the gods, wasted by men
My soul cannot reach the fields of reeds
My lamentations are breaking the silence
Blowing between the worlds, lulling Anubis
The grey gods promised us a new incarnation
An eternal life as a reward for prayers
Their radiance reached every part of the earth
And all the pieces of the sky, and beyond
My death sows disease and darkness
The priests hid me from the sun
The eternal confinement of my carnal envelope
The beginning of my journey in the Duat
Draining my liquefied brain
Clearing my body of impure fluids
My perfumed skin kisses the linen
The final bow to the living world
The heavy feather and the light heart
In front of the green-skinned god
Sins will be confessed in order to rest
The funeral ritual as started
And that's when I saw it
The serpent-god of chaos
Swimming, waiting in the wind
Into the meanders of the Noun
The gates of my tomb
Are now sealed forever
And cursed will be those who violate
My eternal confinement

Apophis
10:52
|
|||
|
Giant of tortuous chaos
Cluster of disembodied malevolence
Nightmarish myth depicted by fear
Notorious evil without any empathy
The greatest predator of the cosmic order
Primordial spirit of rebellion
Thousands years of ethereal anger
Sovereign of the underworld
The end will come from the night
Eternal vengeance will strike
The stars will align
The sun will cease to shine
Prophecies have praised you...
Behind the mirror of the night
Lies the kingdom of silence
This planet belongs to thou
But has been stolen by the impostors
These abominations that rule
From the depths of the stars
The all-seeing eye observes from above
Symbol of lies and control
Self-proclaimed guardian of the souls
Slayer of disobedient mortals
The end will come from the night
Eternal vengeance will strike
The stars will align
The sun will cease to shine
No more light enters the atmosphere
The sun swallowed by the serpent-god
Silver shadows materialize from nothingness
The rebirth of perpetual balance
In order to restore the truth
Thou who were betrayed by thy fathers
In an archaic jealousy
Overwhelmed by despair
Thou could surpass them with thy magnificence
Cold-blooded perfection
Alone, defeated and rejected
Thou have always risen

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.
