lyrics

"Scatter them!" the ancients cried aloft
as they concealed their secrets in the cosmic womb
"Collapse the towers of hubristic triumph!"
"Confound the children's tongues," they screamed from thrones

"Put to sleep the infinite knowledge, for they've become aware
Mere mortals can never be gods, their pursuits will only end in vain!"

Along the way, we have lost our essence
We have suffocated under the weight of our fallen towers

The reason of existence is hidden within us
Amidst the remnants, we have lost our way

"Put to sleep the infinite knowledge, for they've become aware
Mere mortals can never be gods, their pursuits will only end in vain!"

"Let them crawl through the wreckage of impious constructs!"
Ambition usurped by confusion
Punishment dealt in vicious envy
Retribution with no mercy

The ancients relished in their power as gods
The mortals cowered, their creation leveled on sod

Along the way, we have lost our essence
We have suffocated under the weight of our fallen towers

The reason of existence is hidden within us
Amidst the remnants, we have lost our way

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
