lyrics

Intent, fluent with its kiss
As gentle as an ebbing stream
Cresscending to pollinate the throne of three loves
Darkest as thee graces who sought my heart
To the yearning Lethe…

Evanescent lines expelled like thought to page
Fading as the distant sunset,
A vista of such deep longing
Smitten in smears of scarlet,
Scars of time, opened graves remain
Wherein twin talons rake the soul
Swollen to its core, blessed Nepenthe…

I once found her once as
Flesh relinquished
Veins split,
Torn,
A metaphorical suicide,

Then I pleaded my essence for her:
“Make me thine misled voyeur
Lurking in deadly nightshade,
The unbridled passion awaiting eclipse
Soon as our time draws near…,
Thy lips persuade with a drearing tongue
A vast dream, wherein fate
Like cerements far flung, forever clung
‘Gainst thy drawling breast”

And with a breath of lavender
I fell to kissing stars in the skies
At the hilt of a vibrant dark.

"The tongue licks the cracks,
Monoliths of ebbing fervor,
And spews forth creation o'er decorum and vanity,
The face that imprisons all."

And with a breath of lavender
I fell to kissing stars in the skies

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 7 fans who also own “Nepenthe And Lavender”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
