lyrics

The hourglass slave

Endless days
There are tears on the ground
Sleepless nights
Sand flows from the wounds

From above, I hear his call
Then night falls, then night falls
From below, I hear his call
And I fall, and I fall

From so high I fall
From so high I fall

A sad life, wandering alone in the sand
A whole life was left alone in the sand
The hourglass sand
The hourglass slave
wandering alone in the sand
A whole life was left alone in the sand
The hourglass sand
We are hourglass slaves

Endless days
There are tears on the ground
Sleepless nights
Sand flows from the wounds

A sad life, wandering alone in the sand
A whole life was left alone in the sand
The hourglass sand
The hourglass slave
wandering alone in the sand
A whole life was left alone in the sand
The hourglass sand
We are hourglass slaves

C’était lui semble-t-il un soir bien plus sombre que les autres, Un soir où la solitude se faisait aussi glaciale que le vent, où les pas réguliers du dormeur qui passait plus bas résonnaient bien plus fort que le ressac des vagues d’une tempête. Il en entendit l’appel.

The light is gone
Something is born

A sad life, wandering alone in the sand
A whole life was left alone in the sand
The hourglass sand
The hourglass slave
A sad life, all alone, all alone in the sand
A whole life all alone… alone in the sand

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

The Funeral Pyre

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
