Aeons in ignorance
In vain, we are searching
For deliverance
Tormented by their questions
Why?
And what the future
Holds for all of us
Since the beginning of time
Praying desperately
Looking into the sky
Forever ask them why
Embracing the visions
From blackened skies
Sent by the Gods
Through the eyes of the Oracles
Interpretations
Of their words
Leading us out of darkness
From despair
To hope
Losing our minds
In the grasp of eternity
As our bodies became undone
We haven't found any clarity
As I'm remaining confused
Praying desperately
Looking into the sky
forever asking why?
Embracing the visions
From blackened skies
Sent by the Gods
Through the eyes of the Oracles
Interpretations
Of their words
Leading us out of darkness
From despair
To hope
Following the path
Predicted by the oracles
Calling upon gods
In despair and ignorance
Losing our minds
In the grasp of eternity
As our bodies became undone
We have not found any clarity
Embracing the visions
From blackened skies
Sent by the Gods
Through the eyes of the Oracles
Interpretations
Of their words
Leading us out of darkness
From despair to hope

The Return of Kukulkan
04:51
|

Feeling the taste of conflicting emotions,
Love and fear of nothingness black
Desiring your touch of light to be reborn
Building for ages to come
A temple for our paternal figure
For the return of Kukulkan
Walking above the water
Handling torches above the trees
To bring us the salvation
Wearing the serpent skin
Desiring your touch of light to be reborn
Oh Father, you will rise
From this bloody world
Flaring
Embraced by our souls
Oh Father, we will rise
From these bloody world
To where the Gods are praying
And waiting for us.
In this moment of doubt our faith must prevail
Following the signs from above and awaiting your return
Building temples in your honour for the ages to come
Worshiping and waiting for your return
Walking above the water
Handling torches above the trees
To bring us the salvation
Wearing the serpent skin
You bring the power
You impose the knowledge
You will teach us all
How to keep the balance
You will teach us all
How to keep the balance
Oh Father, you will rise
From this bloody world
Flaring
Embraced by our souls
Oh Father, we will rise
From these bloody world
To where the Gods are praying
And waiting for us

The sands of time as a tomb
Salvation’s sarcophagi
The wisdom from the ancients
Inherited from the gods
Breathing their visions anew
In primeval stone and scroll
As constellations of supernovae
Blind the nocturnal skies
Our tree of knowledge shall become light itself
The light to end all shadows
The hands of History are reason’s womb
For as the end of times is nigh
As pretence for sapience, enchants
Elated against all odds
Yet, we all must pay our dues
For the lies we once extolled
The time for innocence is over
With days foregone as the antidote of lies
Our tree of knowledge shall become light itself
The light to end all shadows
The beacon of hope amids the morrows chaos
The light to end all shadows
All knowledge to us bequeathed
In voices from the years of yore
Teaches us the ways of honour
Engraved by the hands of hope
Through the eyes of secular pain
We see our future set aflame
Powerless to intervene
Armed with little more than faith
Those who refuse to learn from who
Came before
Have damned themselves as slaves
Unrepentant naïves
Ignorant of lore long forgone
As the key
To their ever desired
Eternal salvation
As Cabrakan shatters the soil
Coyopa shall bring forth the thunder
As Chaac and the Chicchan flood the world
Xibalba will devour what remains
The Gods are the One and the All
Yet when all act like gods,
There are no gods at all
All knowledge to us bequeathed
In voices from the years of yore
Teaches us the ways of honour
Engraved by the hands of hope
Through the eyes of secular pain
We see our future set aflame
Powerless to intervene
Armed with little more than faith

Sahkil
They came at the Dawn of Day
They killed a few of us
The rest they took away
To where our tombs await
The path is laid
The road is hard
In shackles we walk
With fear in our hearts
Captive we are
Hope to live through
The madness that the raiders are putting us through
Monsters in human skin
Armed with obsidian blades
Pointing them at our throats
Waiting to end our lives
The path is laid
The road is hard
In shackles we walk
With fear in our eyes
As death awaits
As death awaits
Fear takes over
Our souls
One by one
Giving up
Succumbing
Into its influence
Hope is gone
Fear takes over our souls

Siege of Tikal
03:06
|
|

An ancient war
Soaked in corruption, power, and greed
A genocidal quest for pride and glory
Setting a price for life and the land that breeds it
Slaughtering those who stand in its defence
Kill whom you must
Yet spare those of royal blood
So we can haul them back
As our trophies
Enslave whom you must
Bring the filth down to their knees
So we can offer their heads
To Kukulkan
Preparing for the siege
Amidst our trusted allies
Enthralled by promises of wealth from beyond
Beyond belief
Beyond their wildest dreams
All we need is the blood
Of the heirs of Tikal
Kill whom you must
Yet spare those of royal blood
So we can haul them back
As our trophies
Enslave whom you must
Bring the filth down to their knees
So we can offer their heads
To Kukulkan
Sons of Calakmul
Let Kinich Ahau hallow your blade
May your shields become death itself
As the hollow eyes of Kisin
Sons of Calakmul
Mourning those in Báalam’s embrace
Vanquish the pain for the brothers you lost
And rejoice, for the day is ours
Kill whom you must
Yet spare those of royal blood
So we can haul them back
As our trophies
Enslave whom you must
Bring the filth down to their knees
So we can show our gratitude
By exposing their entrails
To the skies of Kukulkan

In nothingness
Only the skies spanning endlessly over the sea
For there were gods
That failed to create a being
That honours them
In false pride
Seven-Macaw claims domain over the mankind
Born for revenge
Taught to do justice
With open mind
And understanding the true purpose of their existence
With blood on their hands
Taking on a challenge to end the darkness that embraced the earth
Born for revenge
Taught to do justice
Go to the West
Towards Xibalba
Confront the Lords of Death
To avenge your fathers
Honour those
Whose wisdom of universe is sanctified
In blood
Spilled over the river of death
Becoming the Sun,
Who lights our reason
Becoming the Moon,
Who feeds our thinking
Becoming the Sun,
Who lights our reason
Becoming the Moon,
Who feeds our thinking

The circle of eons
Katuns upon katuns, an oroboros
From Ixchel to Ahau, Ahau to Ixchel
Day is to night what death is to rebirth
I am the eye of the Báalam
Xnuk Ek, the evening star
The warmth of K’iin
Chilan of Itzamna
Lord of Time itself
As rebirth from death, night turns to day
From Ahau to Ixchel, Ixchel to Ahau
Thus I unweave secrets most arcane
From the circle of eons
I am the eye of the Báalam
Xnuk Ek, the evening star
The warmth of K’iin
Chilan of Itzamna
Lord of Time itself
Chilam Báalam
One of my many names
That resonate through the ages
As lord of Time itself
The mysteries of the universe
Fall prey to the majesty of the jaguar,
As both vessel and messenger of knowledge that precedes
The very concept that bears no secrets
To the Gods of our forefathers
Chilam Báalam
One of my many names
That resonate through the ages
As lord of Time itself
Chilam Báalam
One of my many names
That resonate through the ages
As lord of Time itself

Praise be to the Sun Shield
Divinely anointed
Double headed serpent
Ajaw ad aeternum
Ah mun beneath the earth
Of Bʼolon Yej Teʼ Naah
As the moon, sun and stars
Carry his living memory
Pakal,
Ichor of greatness
First of his name
Heir of Kʼan Moʼ Hix
Pakal,
First of his name
Ichor of greatness
The King of Kings
In days of old, this gilded sage
Rewrote History, page by page
Grandeur and splendour
Blessed the land, attested by a golden age
Of legends told, the aluxob
Bent a knee amidst seas of maize
And thus the key of prosperity
Redeemed all beneath K’iin’s shade
Pakal,
Ichor of greatness
Pakal,
First of his name
Pakal,
The King of kings
Pakal,
Heir of Kʼan Moʼ Hix
Kings were slain
For glory has the highest price
And in refusing sacrifice
One will fail to leave a mark
And if one is born of gods
May it never be for less
Than shattering the tree of life
Tearing heaven and hell apart
Pakal,
Ichor of greatness
First of his name
Heir of Kʼan Moʼ Hix
Pakal,
First of his name
Ichor of greatness
The King of…

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.

if you think, you already heard everything about death metal you definitely missed this one. those double bass moments in "war" and "famine" are epic and the clean voice in "death" is amazing. the whole thing is an eargasm. melodic, hypnotic, haunting!

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.

Fuck... Max did it again. Another release, another gem. So much talent, so much passion... Colosso has managed to stay fresh and interesting over the years, I'm already looking forward to whatever's coming next because, of course, it will be great.
