At the Ruins of Earth
Monuments of existance of Man
Decay as the time has died
For this world ceased to exist
Shadows of our past presence
Haunt around our fallen empire
As lost and eternally forsaken
Crying back our souls
At the Ruins of Earth
Silent hymns drown in the winds of ashes
Not even their wishes carry prayers high enough
Yet the last words are spoken
And never to be heard
At the Ruins of Earth
The forsaken wander lost in time
Seeking Messiah to give them new birth
But their gods now wander
In the Land of Demise

Devil on the churchyard

Deformed face of God
The deceiving eyes upon the scarred
Thirst for the virtuous blood
The Devil on the Churchyard
Evil behind a child's eyes
A grin upon the coffin laid down
Sickness in disguise
Skinless void of light
Of White Hell
From the Lands of Demise
The face of despise
The Devil on the Churchyard

Eternally Sealed

Across the lands and waters
Through woods and temples of rust
The Eye that sees all
Would no longer see anything
Hear the hammers upon our coffin nails
Hear the sound of an open void
Open your eyes and open the jaws
For what lies in your sight is only ruins
Lay the glorious sorrow upon us all
And like a serpent, devour this world and let everything fall
And the temples of rust will vanish
And the flesh of salvation rots
And the blood of gods run dry
And our light shuts down
And like awakening from a dream
Our blurry eyes would someday open again
Not in Hell and certainly not in Heaven
But where the worst of our kind are taken
And finally forgotten
Close the door behind
And darkness will enter
Light a candle for our memory
Yet the shadows won't fade away
"And so it was written
The fate of all men
Was to dwell in darkness
All holy men, women and children
And like a morning star
Their saviour would hang upon them all
Breathing no more through it's own leprosy
As would all men no longer breathe my light
Seek salvation no more, my sons
For your gates from your grave are eternally sealed"
And there will be darkness
And there will be night
And there will be blackness
There will be the death of light

I could taste his wine of lies
Of a weak divine breathing no more
A crown of thorns upon his decayed skull
And his filthy blood on my hands
"Hear me, Seraphs
Hear the Heralds of Pestilence"
Thorns, pierce me
Poison my dying flesh
And I will carry your sins
To your grave with you
Uncross your hands & vomit his flesh
Behold the sad God you once prayed
Praise the dead flesh nailed on the wall
For in my presence his light began to fade
And with great praise they will feast
The bastard sons upon their false fathers
And from the flesh you were born
And the flesh is all you are
"Hear me, Seraphs..."
Fly today
Higher, beyond Gods
Embrace all things pure
For tomorrow when the moon turns red
The skies will die
By my word
And those words will be spoken
Thousands of times again

"Behold my stigmatas
The marks of sacrifice
The marks of suffering
The ultimate betrayal"
Embrace my light
Follow my path
Do as I say and I shall lead you
To darkness
"Speak my spoken words
Doomed are those not of God
Damned are those questioning
Death to those living in fraud"
He who denies me as his God
Denies me as the only one
He is the opposer of light
An enemy of our caring love
He will be burned at the stake
In the precense of the holy trinity
For he is in possession
Of the Devil as the goat of sin
Not Following
"I grant thee the wine of life
Away from the eternal night"
Drink from me
And you become mine
Forever & only mine
And my spoken words
Are carried over the seas
Healing of the disease
Of the ill-faithed centuries
Reveal them all my truth
Teach them all well
For unbelievers are enemies
Cursed in the flames of hell
He who denies me as his God
Denies me as the only one
He is the opposer of light
An enemy of our caring love
He will be burned at the stake
In the precense of the holy trinity
For he is in possession
As the Devil as the goat of sin
"You are all summoned by void
And judged by him who stands upon all people
I shall lead you like a sheapard
Leads sheep
Into the eternal abyss
And leave the weak in flames to weep
I am the plague & the miracle
I am the one who was created by your creed"
The tempting serpent of Eden was me
I have become the darkness
That keeps you from seeing
It was written the Evil shall rise
Time has come
I am the Antichrist

Never have I seen light so dark
Never have I felt dark so black
As I entered the Sacred Chamber
And behold, God
"Sinful path of thine
Has lead you to the wine
Of mercy and forgiveness"
Those words he spoke from above
The voice from His throne
And beneath His feet
Were Holy Angels lying dead
Those pig-headed angels
Torn from grace
"Are you, earthly sinner, willing
To accept Lord in yer heart
To accept thine place in the garden of God
And forever walk as a child of your Lord"
My eyes witnessed the glory of his garden
God's children like flowers...
No ears, no eyes, no limbs
Parasites growing in cancer without knowing
So the rotten saints once claimed their places
Beneath the guarding blind eye of God
And those commands they have kept and done...
Kneel before me - Kill for me
Pray for me - Rape for me
Speak words of me - Lie for me
Come for me - Die for me

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski
supported by 11 fans who also own “From The Lands Of Demise”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :)

Focused melodic-esque yet vicious Polish black metal with wonderful arrangements. The tremolo riffing and blastbeats are on point, and contrast wonderfully with the select piano passages. One of the strongest black metal albums released in 2019, even if it snuck in a bit last minute.

A Diabolic Thirst
by SPECTRAL WOUND
supported by 9 fans who also own “From The Lands Of Demise”
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended.
