A Sparkling in the Night A Token Worn in Pride A Halo of Unlight A Sparkling in the Night A Token Worn in Pride A Halo of Unlight Angelclad, Spiritbound You re Tied to the Core of a Straight Line You Fly Away from a Shiny Oblivion Resisting the Siren’s Song The Wings, you Claw to Grasp To Carry you Up Above The Wings, to Carry You Off The Fate of a Doomed World II. Angelclad, Leatherbound They‘re Tied to the Core of a Straight Line They Fly Towards a Shiny Oblivion Drawn Like Moths to the Flames Within Wings of Steel They Fly above the Waters The Straits of Dover They Fly Into the Rain The Fiery Arcs of Death Setting the Night Alight The Point of No Return From the Dome of Heaven Down into Hell we Plunge The Wings, you hope to Climb, To Carry you Up Above The Wings, to Carry you Off The Fate of a Martyred World Attack! Falling… The Dive of Cinders The Skies Upturned The End Comes Screaming.

4. SABNOCK Νow that I’m wounded , I sting the most Though my Compass broke, Ι won’t Feel lost Through the Night Sky, Ι Find the Path Dare to Challenge, then Feel my Wrath Οn my Griffin’s Wings, Silver and Strong Ι should have been dead, so long ago Hunting my Prey, ‘Tis close at hand Fifty Legions on my Command “Festering Wounds Strong in Defeat Gangrenous Worms Stellar Elite” Νοw that I’m Broken, Ι still Move On And though I’m Crippled, my Reach grows Strong As long I’m Forgotten, I am Forlorn When it seems Over, then I Return

5. KNIGHT OF SWORDS The Wind of Fire You Ride Upon Its Gust to Erase the Trail That the Reaper Follows A Duel with Charon A Duel with yourself Who will Perish And who will Stand? A knight bathed in Rosepetals A Knight Identical Yourself Full Plate in Armor Naked in Front of a Mirror Knight of Swords Its Visor Slowly Opening His Face is Not Your Own Hollow Eyes of the Void Are Staring back to You ‘Tis you Then Death I Live by Your Side All My Life Now, the Time has Come for You to Die The Wind of Fire You Ride Upon The Symbol of Cold Upon Your Brow Knight of Swords

6. AIΑΝΤΑΣ And What am I to Do Now? When All the Gods are Openly my Enemies The Army of the Greeks Hates Me And the Whole of Troy, and so do these Fields. How can I go back to my Homeland? How can I cross the Aegean Sea Abandoning Atreides And the whole of Our Fleet Shall I Face my Father Will His Heart Bear To See me Return Empty-Handed? No! This I Cannot Stand Should I Leap Upon the Trojans And Alone, Fight Against Them To Accomplish Some Heroic Deed Before Death Comes In the End I have to Find a Way To Prove my Old Father That, I, Being His Son, No Coward am I It is Unmanly Shame Seeking to Live a Long Life When One’s Unable to Alter his Suffering. This I Cannot Stand What Joy, can Each day Bring When Each Day, even though Feigning to postpone Brings Us Closer to Death, Each Day brings Us Closer to Death This I Cannot Stand No! This I Cannot Stand

BAEL Always to the East Always to the East Carrying the Brazen Vessel Embedded in my Chest Consumed by It A Thirst I Cannot Fathom Burning with this Thirst I Cannot Sate Always to the East Share our Royal Feast Join the Cavalcade Your Promises are Made Carrying the Vessel I lost myself in It All the Seas of the World Could Not Quench This Thirst I Roam the Endless Steppes My Body Rotting This Burning from Inside It will Devour Me, One Day Always to the East Share our Royal Feast Join the Cavalcade Your Promises are Made

8. THE SLOW DEATH WALK Walk down the Mundane Path Can you make out, the End of the Line Hidden from Life’s Illusions Creations of an All-Comforting Mind ‘In a Warm Haze The Sultry Light Is Absorbed not Refracted by Gray Stone The Dalhias Sleep in the Empty Silence” The First Uncertain Steps Of an Upright Standing Child The last Crumbling Step Of An Old-Aged Weary Man Myriads of People Are Standing in line Awaiting to be Forgotten With Eyes Made of Glass And Milky White They Accept Their Own Fate The First Greedy Gasps for Air Of a Newborn infant The Last Exhaling Throttle of Death Of a Wounded Dying Man Myriads of People Are Standing in line Awaiting Their Own Turn With Eyes Made of Glass And Milky White They’ re Lost in the Winds of Time The Slow Death Walk

about

"VII: The Chariot" is the Second Card drawn out ORDER OF THE EBON HAND's Unholy Deck, following up the First Card drawn, which was, appropriately for a Black Metal Band, "ΧV: The Devil", a Card most ideal to Swear Allegiance. The Band's commitment is that each and every following Album, will delve in one Occultic Tarot Card, seen through a Black Metal perspective.

"The Chariot" is the Card connecting Mars to Saturn, War and Fate. Appropriately, the album is a rash, remorseless, and Warlike creation of Archetypal Black Metal, pacing on the principles that define all pure Metal. The Fights between Identity and Death, Freedom and Oblivion, surround the Entirety of the Album.

Conquest is synonymous to mobilization whether be it mere steps or a full headlong charge to the Complete Unknown.

The faces of War appear, whether be it in Sea, Land, or Air, and the CHARIOT changes Shapes. It metamorphs from Destroyer Ships, to Nightmare Steeds, Aerial Fighters, Armored Demons, Heavy Cavalry Knights, Elite Infantry, Ancient Heroes, and Demon Kings, all bound to a merciless Race, in which, after the starting gun -there is No Turning Back.

But the Enemy is Unclear. For moments it is the Obvious. Then it mutates -as well- it becomes Imprisonment, Insomnia, a wish for self destuction, Restlessness, Duty, Addiction, Defeat,

then Death personified- ultimately the Inevitable Fate that Haunts the mundane.

"The Chariot" then becomes the means to Exceed the Chariot Itself. The Vehicle, whether be Weapon or Body, is merely an Instrument, and not the Self. The Conquest itself, becomes a Trial of Realization, its purpose to Destroy all the Illusions of Life - that would prove Oblivious at the Ultimate Hour!
