conor1977 I love this album. I really like the dirgey vocals and it manages to be downbeat and seriously catchy at once. Favorite track: Rationale of the Feeble Mystery.

I sing of elder names I praise the grains of sand I call upon the wardens Of the left hand I chant the teaching lost I burn the offer grand I call upon the wardens Of the left hand I claim the outer eye I claim the Abwehrende I call upon the wardens Of the left hand
2.	Invocation for the Unfolding of the Path 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Spin the leaves to spin the fates The host of younger names thus spake Name the leaves to name your fate When the waters shine Feel the might and take control - the ways unfold, the ways unfold

Bless me, Father Meness give me power give me strength Bless me, en-zu Na-an-na give me wisdom give me dreams To this darkness I pray In this silence I wake In this nightfall I call To the black moon of May Bless me, Mother Luna give me children give me health Bless me, black Selene keep me hidden make me fast Bless me, Father Tiur show me shadows of my prey Bless me, hidden Mani feed the ravens with my foes With my offer I invoke thee To this darkness I pray In this silence I wake In this nightfall I call To the black moon of May
4.	Ritual of Prebiotic Rememberànce 03:55	lyrics	buy track
At the door of seasons: Craft the sigil of True Self In the golden hours to bind In auspicious times entwined Burn the shell of reason Simulacrum of the self Speak the words that were designed In the times without the mind In the smoke the vision Many-faced and ever blessed Face the words who stayed behind Read the words they left behind
5.	Galdr of Just Obfuscation 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Everything you think you know Everything you think you’re owed Nothing's ever black or white Nothing saves you from the night Shadows hide behind the wall Specks of nothing bring the fall [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] Sun is god before your eyes Everything you think you know Shatters in the fire Everything you think you know Burning black as fear Everything you think you know Your mind plays a puppet show Nothing’s ever as you see Only tears and make-believe
6.	Ritual to Conjure the Knowledge of the Dead 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Unto ashes soak the whisper For the will to understand From the fire before the Vesper Branches from the Tree of Sand Claim the power before Dievas Schachar blessed and everlast Thunder rolling cold Perkunas And the time to break the fast May the sun be one to speak of After night as clear as glass Let the currents bathe the Liedov Wrapped in threads and thorns of grass In the circle facing East Sing the praise of Elder Names To the south you call the Beast And the wisdom of the flames And the ashes shall bring whispers And the mind shall understand In the closing of the Vesper In the circle in the sand
7.	Rationale of the Feeble Mystery 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Lesson of the silence broken after years: Let the word be spoken that was never heard before Lesson of the dreamer blanketed in fear: It’s a fruitless candle, the one where wasn’t dark before Lesson of the scoundrel rose above the peers: Attis is the chosen, yet he was a man before Lesson of the maiden saving all her tears: It’s no less a slave the one who never wept before
8.	Ward of the Second Form for the Father of Dawn 03:50		buy track
9.	Sigil of the Unseeing Eye 03:39	lyrics	buy track
One chain to trace the girth Two days to feast and dance Three crosses in the earth Nine angles in the sands One drop to cleanse the stone Two months under the sand Three spirals in the bone Nine whispers in the hand One circle from the chain Two breaths the spell to bind Three words to call the bane Nine eyes forever blind
