lyrics
And so it begins again, the hourglass drained awaits to turn
Eroded grain by grain
Our craven order blames degraded prizes we unearth
For sanctions they will pave
Hanging from their vestments - draped phantasmagoria
We now see the callous greed that lurks 'neath emporia
Hail the man who sways the sword!
Parades clichés through the strings pulled taut
By puppeteers whom hold the cards
And plays living stakes, wagers scars
Convinced of their virtues scribing memoirs in repent
We trudge through a haze to the post, hear the next sent forth to death
Waiting...
Praying...
A flurry of blades approach
Their words of pity revoked
Claims pickings aimlessly to the slaughter
A lone survivor loaming the bane of the mire
Hail the man who sways the sword!
Parades clichés through the strings pulled taut
By puppeteers whom hold the cards
And plays living stakes, wagers scars
To wager scars
To wage my scars
And the hourglass turns marking the ended rout
I lay low rest assured one day it will run out
Eroded grain by grain
Our craven order blames degraded prizes we unearth
For sanctions they will pave
Hanging from their vestments - draped phantasmagoria
We now see the callous greed that lurks 'neath emporia
Hail the man who sways the sword!
Parades clichés through the strings pulled taut
By puppeteers whom hold the cards
And plays living stakes, wagers scars
Convinced of their virtues scribing memoirs in repent
We trudge through a haze to the post, hear the next sent forth to death
Waiting...
Praying...
A flurry of blades approach
Their words of pity revoked
Claims pickings aimlessly to the slaughter
A lone survivor loaming the bane of the mire
Hail the man who sways the sword!
Parades clichés through the strings pulled taut
By puppeteers whom hold the cards
And plays living stakes, wagers scars
To wager scars
To wage my scars
And the hourglass turns marking the ended rout
I lay low rest assured one day it will run out

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian)

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross!
