Lyrics:
Maleficium
Bleak visions
I have cast upon your souls
For a glimpse of your tomorrows all your final bells will toll
Auspicium
Divinations
By fire your fate I have foretold
By blood and dissection your misfortunes will unfold

The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand

Sortilegium
Equilibrium
In the balance between life and death
I am governing the acts of gods until their final breath

The sins of yesterday
Lunacies crafted in blood
I stood strong
Firm to my loyalty
No flows in the plan conceived

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
These snow-white lands
Oh kneel down to my command

In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old

You forged the hollow trunk of oak
The lair of tragic fates foretold
The runes have spoken and condemned
A red mist thickens on these lands

The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies

In rapture you're falling

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand

In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old

Dear AFM Records, please try harder when it comes to promoting this band. I feel like they don't get even 1/3 of the credit they deserve. For example in Poland, there's very few people who recognize them, and EVERYTIME I show them to someone, they fall in love immediatly. Make them bigger!

[joro]

This band is the most consistent band I can think of. In my opinion, they don't have one single song on any album that is not good, some are more "awesomer", (that's not a word but so what?), than others. They always deliver great music. Dammit they're good.

[tkegg]

Wow!!! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Been listening to you guys and loving every release since 2001 when I first heard Oakenshield. Keep the metal coming!!!!

[dantedanielpaz]

Best Folk and Most Underrated Heavy Metal Band, Abrazo de Gol desde Argentina!

[nakedsnake]

You guys never fail to deliver, excited for the new album!!

Killer track and looking forward to hearing the full album!

Message to AFM: your shipping costs are outrageous. 35-40 eur. for an LP is pricey but understandable, 20(!) for DE-NL shipping is ridiculous in comparison to other webshops (e.g. 7, 50 for Nuclear Blast).
