Icy Radiance of Death (lyrics Ammanas)
Cutting off the last links of the chain
Together with the gaze , the last thoughts freeze
No more fuss and enemies, no more desires and grief
In thrall to the endless silence
On the throne of shining death
Fear as a blind guide leads a dark thorny path
There are screams from the world of the living
But I am attracted...
The Icy Radiance of Death
Like sparkling flashes of lightning
The faces of demons tear the darkness
But I walk through the fear
And the roar of my burning mind
To my last throne, to the icy radiance of death
The wind of karma leads to the depths of icy hell
Their pale light calls...
Let me touch you
The Icy Radiance of Death
The winds have made flutes of my bones
The black shadows of the past stretch after me
From one life to another
An endless chain of suffering...

Deceitfulness

Wake up in a void
Now you suffer in the dark
To be reborn
Upon the witches wheel of life
You will find yourself lost inside hell
You still suffer in a life upon a burning dawn
Before you shall see this fall
You befall as the sons of heaven fall
Destruction comes as a fire burns them all
With gods fallen son
Bare witness to the Fall of Man
And rebirth of a new Lord
Reeling in the circle
Eyes are fearful
Life’s eternalized
By lives we lived before
You can forgive
what we’ve done this day for all
We’ll be forgiven in the lies of your son

Hearken to my voice you have lost you life
Ahead are opening the gates of death
Who was reckless
Who always ran away
From omens of death
He is destined to wander
Experiencing suffering
Existence in some despicable body
Hearken to my voice, you have lost you life
Ahead are opening the gates of death
But the one who is attentive
Will notice signs of death
The one who was wise,
Will be able to get freedom
Bypassing birth and dying,
Will find the true nature of the mind
Hearken to my voice, you have lost you life
Ahead are opening the gates of death
I will give you the knowledge of the Book of Death

Fearlessness
06:43

|
There won't be anything else
Only regret and loneliness
How easily life was lost
In front of you a new path
Who could cheat death
Who could predict own end
Each of us is doomed
Suffer, get sick and die
There won't be anything else
Only regret and loneliness
At the moment of death
Need to find fearlessness
The pale light of hell is already
Beckoning you to it
You mind is like a flickering torch
You dead, but you secret breath is
Still with you
Still with you
Arm yourself with fearlessness
You demons are already here

Loneliness

Enter the raging black waters
Feel the wind flow in the cold steppe
Listen to his moan full of loneliness
Penetrate through the frozen earth
Become a ghost of endless swamps
Past life dissolves into oblivion
Now only the twilight shadow
Will become your reflection
In this space of death
The living no longer mourns you
Whirlwinds pull into a new birth
You will disappear into oblivion
Feel the serene peace of your mind
Listen to its terrifying emptiness
Penetrate through his ambivalent view
Break the chains of samsara
Plunge into oblivion

Silence

All you suffer inside
Your burning pride
Brings you strife
Leaving a darkness behind
Abandon life
Inside you have died
Forgiveness is to end this
Reawaken those that lie
Writhe alone in silence
You will rot all alone
There is no one who gives a fuck
You’re suffering inside
All die inside

Consciousness
04:37
|

|
The last seconds before entering the threshold of death
The disappearance of consciousness and sparks of hope
Despair and fear of the opened shining abyss
Disembodied, become prey to the black vortex of death
Accept it, despair and horror will become your guide
Into a featureless cave, in great abyss, the wings of the damned are carried away with them
Having been sated with darkness in the moon streams
Under the hungry gaze of the keeper of destiny
The pain of defeat in the trap of your consciousness
Having crossed the threshold of death, you will drink to the bottom the cup of suffering
Accept it, despair and horror will become your guide
Into a featureless cave, in great abyss, the wings of the damned are carried away with them

Emptiness (lyrics Ammanas)
Nothing living can escape death
Nothing belongs to you
Your bodies will turn to dust
And the memory of this life will fade away
After your last breath
There will be nothing left of you
Because you are emptiness
Everyone is waiting for the appointed hour
When death touches him
It will be a day of great transition
Your hell and your demons will be waiting for you
All the horror that will come to you after death
Was generated by your own mind
Remember, you are emptiness
Hell and suffering, the spawn of your illusions
Nothing belongs to you
Everything that you value so much will go to others
You came alone and you will leave alone
God Yama is preparing sharp stakes for you
But always remember
You are emptiness

Enlightenment
Everything that was born here will die
Who is eternal? Even mountains have a term
Knowledge does not give absolute wisdom
Because each of us is empty and was not born
The great illusion of living in the abyss of endless sleep
It seems that you exist but this deception
No one has ever been born into this reality
Death and existence are only in our wandering mind
Everything will turn to dust when we realize this
The great illusion of living in the abyss of endless sleep
Only serenity in the form of supreme silence
Gaining wisdom and liberation from attachments
The cessation of all anxieties is the attainment of the highest truth
Can be found at any time in this non-existent life

Hopelessness (lyrics Ammanas)
Your life has been a grief and a torment
Your life was an unconscious cruel dream
Dying on the road from typhus
With every exhalation cursed fate
With every exhalation cursed fate
Your life has been a field of suffering
Your life 's path is plowed with pain
The reaper of lonely sorrow
You sow the seeds of fog and mist
Death does not bring peace
Your essence is exposed here
There is no point in reassuring yourself
Accept the inevitable
You're dead and you have nowhere else to run
There on the road, dying in the frozen mud
You were waiting for death as a consolation
I was waiting for the blow of her braid
Death will not give you eternal peace
Only suffering from one life to another

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

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.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
