lyrics

FAUST

I only through the world have flown;
Each appetite I seized as by the hair;
What not sufficed me, forth I let it fare,
And what escaped me, I let go.

...

The sphere of Earth is known enough to me;
The view beyond is barred immutably:
A fool, who there his blinking eyes directeth,
And o'er his clouds of peers a place expecteth!

Firm let him stand, and look around him well!
The World means something, to the Capable.
Why needs he through Eternity to wend?
He here acquires what he can apprehend.

Thus let him wander down his earthly day;
When spirits haunt, go quietly his way;
In marching onwards, bliss and torment find,
Though, every moment, with unsated mind!

...

The Night seems deeper now to press around me,
But in my inmost spirit all is light;
I rest not till the finished work hath crowned me:
The master's word alone bestows the might.

Up from your couches, vassals, man by man!
Make grandly visible my daring plan!
Seize now your tools, with spade and shovel press!
The work traced out must be a swift success.

Quick diligence, severest ordering
The most superb reward shall bring;
And, that the mighty work completed stands,
One mind suffices for a thousand hands.

...

MEPHISTOPHELES

And yet, thou 'rt laboring for us alone,
With all thy dikes and bulwarks daring;
Since thou for Neptune art preparing -
The Ocean-Devil - carousal great.

In every way shall ye be stranded;
The elements with us are banded,
And ruin is the certain fate.

Volume I: Subradiant Architecture
by Obsidian Tongue

supported by 7 fans who also own “Faust's rave”

Faire passer le black par un équipement daté pour rendre le son brut de décoffrage, j'ai longtemps pensé que c'était Staurophagia le maître en la matière mais Obsidian Tongue l'a fait avant lui et tout aussi bien dans son premier opus, Volume I: Subradiant Architecture. On se retrouve ainsi avec un black metal qui rend hommage à l'école norvégienne, entre poésie ésotérique ("Approaching the Well", "It Dangles from the Bones") et guitares furieuses, mais il est aussi très moderne. Un bon album ! Jordan Vauvert
