americaneurosbmlover66613 Ion the Saint's vocals have transformed in an interesting way since "Monuments...", similar to how Orion's vocals did for "God the Lux". And while the latter album had angrier and more feverish compositions by comparison to their earlier work, "Firefrost Arcanum", "Les Rites De Passage" keeps to a more atmospheric approach with its electronic samples as opposed to its predecessor, all while keeping severely heavy guitar and percussive elements. A magnificent blackened tour de force! Favorite track: Les Rites De Passage.

Here comes the light The blaze the blind can feel My single glance ignites Veiled I reveal Peace to ashes and joy to dust I turn! Fuel the masses, to burn is to reborn! I am the blaze That scours the Man in flame I am the Star Fire be my name! In flare of Will I dance on pyre of allegiance The aim to mayhem I fulfill Divine irradiance Fear to ashes and shame to dust I turn! Fuel the masses, to burn is to reborn! I am the blaze That scours the Truth in flame I am the Star Fire be my name! World putrid I slay In my name The God of Havoc I release The medium of only truth Celestial provenance of Genesis Thus everything begins The fiery Serpents I command The ones who designate the Doom They pierce the space with sparks of void Void of embodied words

In desert plains I faced the monster of mankind With billions eyes On mucous leaden flesh Misshapen, Deformed Gigantesque desperate worm The only goal it chases To grope the Earth to devour And every scale Is smiling me with a face of dead It croaks my name And calling me to join It’s phlegm addicts This sweetish, luscious, greasy taste I start to sink In corps of decadence Misshapen, Deformed Gigantesque desperate worm The only goal it chases To grope the Earth to devour It eats me, absorbs And makes me part of naught In fragrant slime I soar The Earth is doomed to be devoured Sweet state of indolence Engulfs me deeper in a dream My form becomes The faceless dummy slime I have to run The rays of sun I see abaft The only chance To stay someone

Unveil the wretchedness Of worms in hedonistic spree Alone beneath a crowds of scavengers I feel the smell of their glance on me Descry your Priest, your Slave, your Avenger! The grail of sorrows in my hands replete With blood expelled Drink from it, all of you For this is My blood of the Ultimate Covenant Which is poisoned for many abjections and sins Communion begins! Here I am The one who will feed you with pleasures Eat my flesh and suck all the blood I release Fill your gorges with leper of fury I measure I die for your bliss I am spreading disease Drink from it, all of you For this is My blood of the Ultimate Covenant Which is poisoned for many abjections and sins. Communion begins! Look above! My spirit released and ascended Will lead you to all the barrows and slums Where humanlike beings are swarming Spread my Word, my Flesh and my Blood By the sweat of your face You will eat them Till all of you return to the ground Because from it you were taken For you are the scum And to scum you shall return Here I am The one who had scourge you with pleasures Redeemed from your bliss I am your disease

Our past goes with the light to the great nowhere The radiation of our thoughts and visions Ride the fourth dimension To get the center of Samsara To enter the house of forgotten times. I wander blind in sands of time And grope illusions to adore Amid the wail I yen to hear Yet challenging... The call of Yore Past leaves with the light Millenniums to radiate The wheel of Samsara I ride Reviving the dead Begotten by the Age of fall I choose to drink the cup of scorn In void of present I recall Yet challenging... Descant of Yore

Digitus Dei 05:08
Above the all I soar on wings of my predestination Above all morals and sins With glance of damnation I comprehend the guilt And every damned will receive What he deserves And everyone is cursed I am Lord Avenger! Behold! Here comes the tempter and exposer The Day of Judgement now gets closer I am Forefinger of the God And every damned will receive What he deserves And everyone is cursed I bring redemption to the World Detecting cravens and aborted And every infamy will be rewarded I am the Omen of Downfall And every damned will receive What he deserves And everyone is cursed I made of light which burns the souls Of slaves atrembling in their temples The God of Vengeance I recall My Ark will float on waves of ashes And blood And every damned will receive What he deserves And everyone is cursed

At last I see Scales fell from eyes of mine Monstrosity Engendering the World Divine True face of birth The chthonic spawn of paramount void In caves of Eden roves my mind The den of flesh Where thought of God materialized Becoming mortal trash Retrieved Depressed I cry In arms of Eve The mother of mankind Primeval monster of mankind The evil predefined The point where everything began In utero of death Like newborn God I feel with pain My first and final breath Retrieved Depressed I cry In arms of Eve The mother of mankind Primeval fiend of mankind The evil predefined So let me cross the purging gate To get the other side Your son becoming apostate With ego petrified
7.
This vale is filled with gobs of serfs I feel their smell of sweat Like vermin building muggy nest They rise their sacred place Conduct the light You must highlight the ground Where fools abound They mounting the profound The higher grows The deeper goes And everyone thinks he is grave When drags stercorous stone Runs roughshod over other slaves Thus the profound grows The higher grows The deeper goes I plod midst scared architects Erecting stones to chasm The lash of light their skin dissects Their prayer spreads miasm. I cross the rabble Of pointless acolytes Erecting chasm To reach the skies The higher grows The deeper goes

Prometheos 04:54
Aeonian I dwelt In caves of my demented mind Upon the chasm of humankind The Demigod expelled Beneath the stars But bounded by substantial mud The one I brought to set the light In realm of blind The Star of East I see it pale below the dust Still shines non-plussed Potential unreleased I am the key That waits the Man to come Descent of Sun The Chosen One To set Me free I show the Way From ignorance to House of Gods And someone has to step this path One perfect day I am the key That waits the Man to come Descent of Sun The Chosen One To set Me free Eternity Of pain for gamble I elect Instead of Heaven to neglect I wait for Thee I am the key That waits the Man to come Descent of Sun The Chosen One To set Me free It is done! One day I’ll say it loud Above the stolid crowd The day I’m gone
9.
Illusion of time Dissolved in beyond Initial point And perfection of mine I am my Father And I am the Son I am my Salvation And my Death to come Falling free Into void of unknown In ethereal gravity I do reborn Arcane rite Every step on my path Redeemed I arise Purified I am the first And I am the last I am the Uprising And recall from the past I walk through the labyrinth Of fears, anger, and pain I am the priest and oblation A blessing and a blame Diving deep Into void of unknown In ethereal gravity I do reborn Arcane rite Crucial step on my path Redeemed I arise Purified The final passage Of shifting my mind All fears and doubts Are left behind I am the soil And I am the light I am the water of life And a blaze in the sky Every mortal shall forget My name
