lyrics

PYRRHIC

OF BLOOD AND TIME WITHIN THESE VEINS
PULSING THE DIM, THUNDERING…
UPON THE PALE HORSES CRYING, SURREAL
BEKSINSKI'S HOOVES CASCADING HEAVEN
O BLIND FORTUNE
DARKNESS FAVOURS THE BRAVE, THE FALLEN…CARRION
BRING FORTH THE STARS AND TEAR DOWN THE SKY

BLACKEST SISTER OF EVENFALL
FROM EVENING GOWN TO ARMOUR
YOUR SKIN IS SO COLD…
ONWARDS, BRIGHT EYES AND GILDED HEARTS
WE RISE AND WE FALL
FROM FIRE TO ICE, BLIND IN DEFIANCE
WE RACE THE SUN…

O fortune, how long must we dirge to breathe life? How long?
HOW LONG?

BLACKEST SISTER OF EVENFALL
FROM EVENING GOWN TO ARMOUR
YOUR TOUCH IS SO COLD...

GLORIOUS TIDINGS THROUGH SACRIFICE
THE LONG HARD ROAD THROUGH HELL…AT WHAT COST?
PILGRIMS TO KINGS, OF NOTHING BUT PAIN
OUR HANDS ARE FULL YET OUR HEARTS ARE EMPTY

TO THE MOTHS WE PRAY, THE CRIPPLED CHORUS...WE DESPAIR
THE RISE, THE RUST OF ICONS, GODS OF DUST WITHIN US

BLACKEST SISTER OF EVENFALL
FROM EVENING GOWN TO ARMOUR
FOREVER OURS...

O fortune, how long must we dirge to breathe life? How long? How Long?
HOW LONG?

COLD, COLDER
GHOST LIGHT LIPS TRACE MY SCARS
SERPENTS OF THE EARTH, FEAST…MY HEART
I DECAY
COLDER, COLD…DECAY

Urn
by Ne Obliviscaris

supported by 175 fans who also own “Pyrrhic”

Ne Obliviscaris are truly the masters of extreme progressive metal. Beautifully crafted passages seamlessly blended with aggression and rage. These guys are a joy to listen to with each revisit. 9/10 RJ

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 97 fans who also own “Pyrrhic”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
