lyrics
Heims um ból, helg eru jól,
signuð mær son Guðs ól,
frelsun mannanna, frelsisins lind,
frumglæði ljóssins, en gjörvöll mannkind
meinvill í myrkrunum lá.
Heimi í hátíð er ný,
himneskt ljós lýsir ský,
liggur í jötunni lávarður heims,
lifandi brunnur hins andlega seims,
konungur lífs vors og ljóss.
Heyra má himnum í frá
englasöng: Allelújá.
Friður á jörðu því faðirinn er
fús þeim að líkna, sem tilreiðir sér
samastað syninum hjá.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
This band’s sound is close to ominous perfection in my ears. I’ve not heard many things like it, but I want more. Perfect cover song also. Metallurgical Fire
