lyrics

You have lit for me a beacon
Set to guide me, to transcendence
When I arrived it was a lie
And now behind me, a trail of ruin
I will fuel the fading stars
Bring from high a searing light
Set to guide you, now to blind you
Curse the child of the night
With each step that I have taken
I have trodden over virtue
You have led me up a mountain
So that you could watch me fall
I am famine
I am spite
I am dark
Leaving light
I am rest
I'm the end
I am ruin
Vindication for your soul
Scathing rays
Rake your skin
Kiss of death
Let it in
I will fuel the fading stars
Bring from high a searing light
Set to guide you, now to blind you
Curse the child of the night
Scathing rays rake your skin
Kiss of death, let it in
Set to guide you, now to bind you
Curse you, child of the night
Is the final teaching done,
When the two become just one?
Will I raise another son,
To be the hate that I've become?

More amazing black metal from Erech, whose other bands Ancient Mastery and Carathis are favorites of mine. With Grandeur the music is harsh, fast paced, melodic, riff-heavy guitar driven black metal that is a bit more raw and less epic than Erech's other acts. Jody B.
