lyrics

Avathar…

South of this world,
To a dark land unexplored
Where the shadows grow longer and deep
Beneath the shores of mourn
And the sheer walls of Pelóri
The monstrous mistress lived in a ravine

She (was) hungered for light
So, she sucked it up all
Dark webs of gloom were her spawn
Her hunger diminished not,
She lusted for more
Though she was filled with a great fear,
His bid, she could not ignore

Bridge (Melkor)
If thou hunger endures
After everything is done
I will feed thy lust with whatever
Thy may demand

Chorus 1
Lead the way my dear
Let us bring them (a) great fear
As darkness falls, in this deep sea of night
I will spread around terror and grief

They both set forth to the blessed Valinor
Covered in a dark woven cloak
While the people of the realm,
Had put aside all their grief
In the great halls, upon Taniquetil

Then they came upon
The great Trees of Light
Their shine won’t last for long
For her thirst diminished not
She lusted for more
While both Trees were drained off
(Their light)

Bridge (Ungoliant)

My hunger remains
After their sap was gone
I will feed my lust with whatever
I may demand

Chorus 2

Drink, drink my dear
Let them now be in fear
As darkness falls, in this deep sea of night
I will spread around terror and grief

Bridge (Trees)
He stabs the Trees
Deep wounds into their flesh
Bright sap was poured out on the ground
She dips her teeth to quench her thirst
'Till their lights are no more around

A piercing look through this deep bitter night
Saw darkness beyond dark, impervious
And while pursuing the shadows in the north
Lost and powerless, we beat the air in vain

Darkness has fallen
Darkness has fallen
Darkness has fallen
Darkness has fallen

Bellum I
by Aquilus

supported by 5 fans who also own “As darkness falls”

Aquilus took a decade off and came back like he never left! Bellum I is yet another piece of beautiful melodic black metal mixed with classical and folk that makes you wanna dance naked in a forest somewhere. The natural sounding production increases the atmosphere heavily. Griseus is a monumental black metal album for me but Bellum I isn't far behind. Can't wait for II! Ryan
