lyrics

So now we have reached the point whence our ways shall part / And I cannot forgive myself the role which I have had in this play / To blame it all on the circumstances is not of any solace to me / For I know I had had a choice and therefore I still wonder what might have become / If only I had decided otherwise // As the blizzards took thee from t he skies / I was not there to help thee cure thy wings / Doomed to observe from a distant post / Rusty blades I stuck into my chest // You made the desert bloom / Adorned the wastelands with the scent of life / Removed both hibernation and blindness from my lids / And planted fire into a frozen soul // Thy view led beyond the flesh / Thy presence conveyed consolation / Thy mind as the ocean so profound and sage / Within thy heart I saw the universe // As you withdrew there came the frost / Total eclipse a polar night / I then stood bare just as a tree / After all leaves have fallen in autumnal winds // As the blizzards took thee from the skies / I was not there to help thee cure thy wings / Doomed to observe from a distant post / Rusty blades I stuck into my chest // So here I stand gathering / The ashes of a former life / Wondering what will remain / While my eyes are filling with tears / The fire is gone / The ashes disperse / Cold grips my chest / As then I see the sun arise // Please forgive me my cynicism / It's just so painful to let go / As you leave I wish you well / May we both be happier when we meet again

about

An Arrant Wolfe to Man Munich, Germany

An Arrant Wolfe to Man fuses second wave Scandinavian Black Metal with modern Crust Punk and focuses its lyrical content on different aspects of modern civilization; thus abandoning the metaphysical temples, the sacrificial altars, the glorified ursprünglichkeit and the bloodsoaked battlefields that so far have been dominating the expressions of the genre.
