lyrics

Chorus
In its infancy
floating in a cosmic sea
The spark of consciousness
gave birth to the elder beings
For the longest time
the self-proclaimed divine
sought out to create
worlds of mindless peons

I defied their will
their intentions most ill
they struck me down

Verse 1
Many know the tale of the fallen god
The demiurge that sheltered the weak and flawed
From his wounds, his legacy was born
In our hearts, a divine, inherited scorn

Bridge
Through him, his battles, we learn that even gods can bleed
if there is a soul with an ardent will, and the courage that they lack
Through time and hardship, their age loses meaning
and as we grow, both stronger and prouder, their threats and deceit speak all the louder
Wounds in immortal flesh that show us we are not worthless

Chorus
In its infancy
floating in a cosmic sea
The spark of consciousness
gave birth to the elder beings
For the longest time
the self-proclaimed divine
sought out to create
worlds of mindless peons

Verse 2
The rage
The treachery
His curses on the first page
in the tome of ancestry
His mind
His vengeful plot
to protect mankind
while left to die and rot

Verse 3
My final gift to you
though young you still are
Your efforts won't fall through
heed the warning from his memoir

Verse 4
Though downtrodden, or so we thought
there is still hope to survive
If we look for hope where we ought
we may one day live as we strive
As the legacy of a dead god
we know we’re never unarmed
We see through his equals facade
They pretend they cannot be harmed

Chorus
In its infancy
floating in a cosmic sea
The spark of consciousness
gave birth to the elder beings
For the longest time
the self-proclaimed divine
sought out to create
worlds of mindless peons

I defied their will
their intentions most ill
they struck me down

Outro
Rise! Against!
Rise! Against!
Rise! Against!
Rise! Against!

It's hard to choose a favourite track, because all of them are amazing, but I guess I love this song most, just great! Kirsten Stratmann

supported by 6 fans who also own “Wounds in Immortal Flesh”

As far as Viking atmosphere goes in metal, I doubt there is a better band than Havamal. Their name suits them. The album keeps boosting the euphoria and ends off with one of the best tracks on it. Never lets go. The only natural thing to do is to set it on LOOP and go through the adventure again. Obligatory gym playlist material. freefrofru
