Her shadow haunts the moonlit night
Frozen child
Brooding upon the task at hand
A murderous thirst
Her lust could not be quenched
As sure as the sun will die
Her mind would not be swayed
Her deceit knew no bounds
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death
Her words enticing
Like rats to a ravens beak
She lured him in
Two boys she poisoned
With absinthe and laudanum
As he fed on them unknowing
HIs pale white throat she cut
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death
Deep into the woods
We fled with his remains
A murky grave
Among the reeds he lay
The price of freedom tore
Tore at my tainted soul
Short lived though it would be
A tear i bled for he
She purred and licked her lips
On her throne demanding death

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
