Gathered under blackest night
In silence, our order convenes
Far from the Sun, the ritual begun
A learned sacrilege, a heretic art
Apostasy ov the mind but not ov the heart
Not ov the heart
Guard your belief in the Serpent and Lion
Mystery ov mysteries
Ritual under His name
Baphomet
Ruling below the world ov the wicked
Father Mithras, our only crown
Templars stand and avow
Non nobis
Heretic knight, doctrine betrayed
Suffering for your abandoned crusade
Harmonious anguish, agonized choir
Think on your sins under pain ov immaculate fire
Ablaze in the night
Shackled in a waking funeral pyre
Red claws reach towards me
Skin blistering under steel
But never shall I kneel
I have bathed in fire
I have watched as the skies boil
I have passed through the black void
I have gazed upon the throne ov God
And it is empty
Non nobis
Domine, non nobis
Sed nomini
Tuo ad gloriam
An order ov sleepless knights
No inquisition can quell us
Glory never won by the fierce and just
Not unto us
Mystery ov mysteries
Ritual under His name
Baphomet
Ruling below the world ov the wicked
Father Mithras, our only crown
Templars stand and avow
Non nobis
Domine, Domine
Immortal, divine
New order, sculpted by torturous servants ov light
Reborn
Virtue unfurled, not ov this world
Praise to He who crossed the flame
Baphomet, our dark profane
He who set the stone aglow
He who rules below

When times getting rough, and life feels like crawling through a forest of barbed wire, there is this album that cheers me up. Thanks for backing me. misty_shade_of_endless_winter (Falk)

NWW blend nostalgia for the old ways of BM with an uncompromising excitement and energy. Melodic and gothic tones (reminiscent for example, of CradleOfFilth) are struck in this record. hallowedhalls

What beautiful piece of black metal. Hypnotic and atmospheric. An intense musical experience with some folk/doom influences.
It feels like walking through a finnish landscape on a cold winter night.

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
