lyrics

Past forests of rotting men
And the Hall of Fire
From the seaside
To these mountains high

Life flows
Colossal
Pits, peaks
Craggy eaves

Of ancient age
Or violent change

Wind whips
Black coattails cleaved
Back turned
In human rebellion

Rückenfigur
Frozen silhouette
Rückenfigur
Scars the aspect
Rückenfigur
Survey the lands
Rückenfigur
Wild and unplanned

Wind whips
Visage obscured
Powerfully posed
Inhuman rebellion

The darkness of thought
Allows little light

Better to hold
Fast to the void

Immeasurable distance
Dizzying depths
Time's beautiful labors
Unconquered
Defiance

There is poverty
In personal perspectives
False reality's
Traps allude

Willful ignorance
Painful indifference
Pedantic inquiries
Studious scrutiny

Neither beauty
Nor power
Need false ideals

The darkness of thought
Allows little light

Better to hold
Fast to the void

Better to hold on
Fast to the void

Life flows
Cyclical
Cliffs, pits,
Craggy eaves
Of ancient age
And violent change

Rückenfigur
Frozen silhouette
Rückenfigur
Scars the aspect
Rückenfigur
Boldly stands
Rückenfigur
Surveys the lands

Ever since the release of its debut full-length 'The Maggots Are Hungry' (Odium Generis Humani), ILSA has produced nearly one effort every year. The band has shown just as much ambition on the live circuit as well. ... more
