what a joy
this lovely youth
spring of wonders
delight
rays of sun and
foliage and colors, glowing bright
an animal approaching
a creature ready to perform
his dance macabre
cut the budding life short
nearing the cabin
in the green heart of his home
what the eye does not see
does not harm the soul
a swift act of slicing
with filthy animal claws
then a crude mimickry
enough to lead astray one so naive
nearing the cabin
in the green heart of his home
what the eye does not see
does not harm the soul
a mockery of nature and all that is holy
the deception found out too late
the sight of fur pushing through ancient skin
splitting, cracking
pulling apart her tender flesh
gnawing on small, brittle bones
a pool of putrid blood, bile and hair
greeting the one arriving at dusk

he is born of humid earth
and feasts on tender flesh
a visage beautiful and pied
he rules his minions
and tempts innocents into darkest of nights
filth-born allegiance with his harbingers of tears
a clever pact to exploit
dormant human fears
as it was arranged his minions now flee
time for payment: none as he can see
wrapped in a thin shroud of vengeance
ready to cast his spell of damnosa hereditas
wretched notes of ruptured, ancient harmony
snatching youth, sacred purity
evil sound, ringing foul
face of terror
cries echo for lives lost
they know not that gorging on living flesh
is but a tiny cost
as it was arranged his minions now flee
time for payment: none as he can see
wrapped in a thin shroud of vengeance
ready to cast his spell of damnosa hereditas

The Pact

an obstinate creature of greed
willing to corrupt the innocuous maiden
alas, the goal is not gold in heaps
but perverse suffering
exploiting horrid despair and want
ascending creaking stairs just to see
hopeless enslavement to serve the king
life's dwindling and dissolving
offered a pact to aid her in need
first night..second.. jewelry for him
third night approaching.. the child within
a poisonous deed
for soul, tormenting
a deed too vile, too high a price
must get out, outwit the imp
persuade him to reason with us
or else, she must pay for those sins
there remains but a single means
to uncover secrets hidden therein
the abomination does have a name
go and discover, then bring it to him
in the damp embrace of slimy circled stones
of old times long gone
is it an imp
demented features
oh how she wishes to not know
these creatures
offered a pact to aid her in need
first night..second.. jewelry for him
third night approaching.. the child within
a poisonous deed
for soul, tormenting
One final act of degradation
it yearns to take them all down with him
into a black void in the earth
fingers grabbing, flesh tearing
as the curtain falls it gets quiet
the ghastly apparition speaks for himself
"i murdered them all. and yes, my true name was rumpelstiltskin!"
in the damp embrace of slimy circled stones
of old times long gone
attaining glimpses of horrid salvation
could this be rescue from deprivation
offered a pact...

Wow, I just had to buy this. All three tracks are amazing, the sound is so full and encompassing, it just envelopes you. I have it playing in the studio when I'm making - it's the perfect album for that - energizing and inspiring.

Mosara deliver some of the gnarliest doom you could imagine, colossal distorted riffs and thunderous rhythms decorated in vocals that border on feral. this is an album not for the faint of heart.
