You`re, the single, a servent in wretchedness, shades blinded, by the emperiors sun. Tarnished into the farthest far go and deliver - deliver the message of the dead. There it lies - the midest of the world, piled high in its sediment. Nothing reaches through this, least the message of a dead. Barren, he crawls through the innerst palace chest crowned by the emperiors sun. Breaking into the endless strains if he would ever reach the gates - nothing will be gained. There it lies - the midest of the world, piled high in its sediment. Nothing reaches through this, least the message of a dead. There it lies - the midest of the world, piled high in its sediment. You sit at your window and dream, when night bursts in.

What's a Rebellion in a world which sacrificed the will? deleted hope and love for the unlearned loss. produced in rearing and spawn, the non-invidual, witted and bound to spell doom for everyone. Progress from discontent in a regime of perfection. in the age of noise could silence be the sword? you - the wild in the consistent dream of life, the dream is choked. Where death feeds the entertainment your's sold to utopian complete. Where is the thought in a state which forfeited the intellect? Drained in castes for the lesser ideal. Trimmed with deafening noise, to fear the bloom and the science but where there's blinding light, there is shadow.

The path is hidden, beyond reach it lies, A blood red sunset stricken with oblivion. For aeons in silence, buried in the shadow, the arcane found its grave Deeply carved in the flesh of the earth, a passage of time, shrouded in myth. unspeakable horror ensnared behind - beyond the obsidian gates. Lost in time - seals unbroken a secret obscure - waiting to be unveiled. At the end of a relentless quest, staring through the gaping darkness. Abomination lurking beyond the roaring silence is broken.

The Mountain 03:30
A lonely king on chessboard of life. What's a trice in a mountains eternalness? With his stone ermine cold and a crown bare, no living shields and no breathing banners. a static yearningly glimpse to the grace, a ravenous urge to unite the horizons. Words spoken through the rain in silence, Secret blooming between petrified lungs. If tears could bring the living breath, saw loneliness to reap the hope. A definite aim to aporia in majesty, a rivulets dawn on its riptides brutality. King is dead, long live the king. A course of stones eternalness, like a knive to the throat of the aeon. her breath was motion of bloom and wither, sessions drawned on her inert body. a silent call to a revelry eternal, criterion of time set to the mountains feet. what is a trice in a mountains eternalness?

Oh, pierce the night. There i've left you, kneeling in prayer your head bowed low and only longing fills the loss i've left you. I will catch you, in darkest hour, both yours and the night, to wipe away your tears i'll catch you. Fine night and clear, in times like this, rising from tombs the spectures rove. And in a trice are close at hand, so are you not afraid - are you not afraid? And i'll take you, for you don't longer belong here for the place beside me i'll take you. I will lead you, for you will see the brighter day, through gallows doors i will lead you. Fine night and clear, at such a time, beside the living walk the dead. Are you not filled with dread?? For you must travel on my side. Day is night and dark is light. Sleep shuts the eyes, oh follow the shade just now on you, my thoughts were laid. fine night and clear, at such a time, people are hasting to their doom. Suddenly death stands at your side my sweet love do you fear the tomb? - do you fear the tomb? oh, pierce the night. I will seek you, til the dawn awaits you again my bitter jearning is just the groan of the wind, that seeks you. will you forget me, or hold your heart in the chest? That you know, i'll never forget and eternally wait.

My trace lost in dead mountain's land. There you lie in chains, laid to rest. Two worlds, but no home, loneliness of darkness lies in your cry. Here I am, you're searchin' for. Twisted Grin in triumph, as death crowned your neck. Flying free into the fortress of nothingness. Blindness guides your emergence. A manifest of mortal sickness. "Leave me!" but nothing waits there. I'm the one, you are striving for. Gone to kingdom come, you're leaving both. Damage done, as vast yaws embrace me. There I stand, kings of woe cry for flesh. Take me back, tear a hole in my chest! lay me in your arms so the void, the void embraces me. Here I lay and sleep, there I turned to lie. Veil me in your shades so the void, the void can maul me. A world deseased in innocence for a world - sorrowdrawned.

We - the salvaged, from which bones death cuts his pipe, on which sinews he wielded his bow. Our bodies sigh for this times, with their garbled sound. Fears worm has riven on us. This chain of riddles, layed around the neck of the night. Kings word written far away blured by the comets trail, when skies torned wound cut. There in the beggar that walks on knees, that measured all streets by his trunk. It will be outsuffered - the written and dying will be learned - in patiance. We - The salvaged, the noose twisted for our neck: They still pend in the blue sky before us. And the feed for the clockwork is still our gouting blood. Our stars are buried in dust.

The years has carved your skin, ingrained your strides, burst your heart. So near, but still too far to reach, wooden arms would never feel beauty. They just turned to gray in this longest fall. Leaves you lost, cloak the path, that divided one heart. Their shells will be our plunder, (so) fall to break the season. These are the last steps of our eldered kingdom, winters cold chains the vital crown of grace. Their marks has turned to dust, born new and turn the soil to stone. as centuries forgot our grief, oath on our lips are the ivy around our neck. Which carries the plague and spits it own beauty. A loss of words, a dance in motionless. See there, the pride is falling, above from the roaring of the stars. Two shells, but one heart. Not envy could cover their love. There we stand for aeons, rusted by the autumn sun. Fall to understand, the death waits in our groves.

A Crows Word 05:51
Times has darkened and sickness lays in valley below. Here you are, brothers on a journey to spread the alarm. Guided by ice and storm, death hides in the white. Guarded by the eyes of the Black, that judges through the focus of chest. Hear. This spears the inner ear and speaks in twisted tongues Word of the king, the judge and the traitor. Deafening the breath, silence the dispair. As black as a crow's wing, life veiled in absolute zero. Would you see the grim, when the end haunts unseen? Out for the desired behind the great cold distance. One for hunger primitive, but one to save her heart. As glaciers trap snaps shut, bones bow to pressures cold. As snow sheds the sickened red and doom laid before them. And so be it. Twisted tongues has spoken. Exposure to hunger primitive, but to the heart, the plague.
12.
There we stand, so many worlds we've left behind. We aimed the distance, but recreance was what we found. So for the eyes, disguised is the crucial. But with the heart, how impossible, but you will see ...

about

CroworD Vienna, Austria

Tradition is not the passing of ashes, but the passing of a spark to blaze up flames. So do CroworD when it comes to Melodic Death Metal. CroworD don't only play this genre, they take this musical style as an aesthetic framework, in which they shape their music into a steel-hard mix of rhythm-pulsating sound bodies, detailed melodies and relentless work on their instruments. ... more
