There is no one to remember you
You are now nothing more than a breeze of air
You have faded in nothingness a long time ago
Did you have a name, and was there someone to tell it ?
Time has passed over you and your hopes
Oblivion has hidden your story
Behind a veil of pure white emptiness
But you once prayed for happiness
Hey ! Hey ! Where are you now, white lady ?
Hey ! Hey ! Where are your sweet dreams of joy ?
In this century of cold and darkness
No one cared about you when you cried
Scared and alone, frozen and sick in the night
There is nothing left of your innocence
Time has passed over you and your hopes
Oblivion has hidden your story
Behind a veil of pure white emptiness
But you once prayed for happiness
Hey ! Hey ! Where are you now, white lady ?
Hey ! Hey ! Where are your sweet dreams of joy ?
In the past centuries
How many reflections
Of my grey existence
Have haunted the earth
Have you found a place where no one yells at you ?
Have you been able to escape violence and scorn ?
I was just an unnamed soul
I was nothing but an empty flesh
There was no one here to whisper
No one to protect my slumbers
Time has passed over you and your hopes
Oblivion has hidden your story
Behind a veil of pure white emptiness
But you once prayed for happiness
Hey ! Hey ! Where are you now, white lady ?
Hey ! Hey ! Where are your sweet dreams of joy ?
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
