Candlemass - Emperor Of The Void Lyrics






I am the king, of the great islands of grey
Windswept and scatted, bent and confused
My castle is my ruin, the mouldering grave
Where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the mother

Who counts the wounds, who sees the hunger, the flight of denial
The fibres the nerves, the raptures and bursts, from arteric to cell
Continuously repeating, the hymn of life and death
And the wholy whore, desecrated in desperation

I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
I'm the emperor of the void

I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm
So dignified...unmerciful, without empathy
You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain
You see my death, terrible and divine

    I like Lowe on this album just fine. I wouldn't change a thing

  2. C.... H....

    I think this album gets a bad rap for its production (i.e. not having Lowe in the studio with the band, laying his tracks down later) but it's a classic. I wonder what it would sound like with Messiah on vocals. Nothing against Lowe, I like him a lot, think he's the second-best singer Candlemass ever had (way better than their current shrieker). Just would be interesting.

    the problem is the sound quality.

    Damn !! Best release from Candlemass in a while I'd say . This album has a solid feel to it for sure . And Lowe sounds damn good on this one . Too bad it didn't last I suppose . I have to say I prefer messiah with 'mass and Robert with solitude aeturnus but this is a pretty sick release none the less. Hails from Cali USA

    Killer track

    nice song, still Marcolin is the best vocalist for candlemass
