lyrics

Dea atra
Redivivus
Dea atra
Gloriosa

Abyss I call
You open the portals
In the great vastness of the night
Let
your obedient
servant enter
the shrine and join them
in a timeless rite

Chorus:

You're an elder divinity,
the pristine darkness
guiding nightmares and howling ghosts
A grim Muse of a Black Mass
You are a thousand-faced mother
Of all gloom
Look with great favor from above
On our hecatomb

Dea atra
Redivivus
Dea atra
Furiosa

My frantic heart
Violently beats
Biting into the sharp bars of the chest
All
The wounds
I’ve ever had are
Green once more at her ruthless behest

For this throne
you paid with many
guiltless preys
Their dead eyes watch you -
but you can hold the gaze
The frail voices curse but
even cannot sore
Disperse remains of these lost souls
Forevermore

I am entranced
by my own death
My spirit broke all the possible chains
I’m
her child
blessed with the cold
demonic blood that now runs through my veins

Chorus:

You're an elder divinity,
the pristine darkness
guiding nightmares and howling ghosts
A grim Muse of a Black Mass
You are a thousand-faced mother
Of all gloom
Look with great favor from above
On our hecatomb

For this throne
you paid with many
guiltless preys
Their dead eyes watch you -
but you can hold the gaze
The frail voices curse but
even cannot sore
Disperse remains of these lost souls
Forevermore

With your incandescent light
Show us the way
to the new dimensions that we’ll seize and slay
Soon your might will ruin the walls
between the worlds
and give free rein to overwhelming stygian hordes

With KarmaLove, The Lust continues the strong line that they've set out in the beginning when the band started. Once again the "haunting" vocals of Anna takes you to a dark place in which storyies are told. Yan, Max, Lorelei and Theodor are filling these stories with (dark) guitar riffs, drums, vocals and keyboards. Each track on this album is a story itself that must be heard. This album will also break the repeat button so be careful with that ;-) Highly recommended! Score: 5/5 willem82
