Marduk - Imago Mortis Lyrics






Imago Mortis, ever since the applebite, deathened!
The branches creep together, a chair with a cold back,
...Lux Rigor Mortis, Lux Rigor Mortis, Lux Rigor Mortis...
Today king, tomorrow worms and cold in mouth,
A reach for purity, through decay, through black soil excrements,
None shall stand before the Lord of the Death-Winged Dart,

Cold and hollow, silent yet piercing,
Death fire trumpets, fresh traces from twelve-to-twelve,
Pole to pole, infans to decrepitus
Sunbleached shadow, useless corpse,
Jesus loves you, useless corpse
...Lux Rigor Mortis, Lux Rigor Mortis,
Lux Rigor Mortis, Cinis Ater et Ossa.

Behold, one who moments ago, at the height of power,
Received worship from kneeling crowd,
Now himself cast down by death's dominion,
Bears mute witness to the whole world's face:
Cinis Ater et Ossa.

Sack of maggots, maggotsack,
Hopeless pile of hopeless bones,
So this was His holy plan for you?
Wings of dust, handful of nothing,
Iron skies and streets of brass,
Even the Whore, she loves us all!

Imago Mortis, ever since the applebite, deathened!
The branches creep together, a reach for purity,
Through decay, through black soil excrements,
All must kneel before the Lord of the Death-winged Dart,

Imago Mortis,
Wings of Dust,
Handful of Nothing,
Hopeless pile
Of hopeless bones.

    He is very very good but Mortuus is better than Legion.

  22. J.... ....

    Mortuus breathed new life into Black Metal

  23. T.... ....

    but Legion is the best vocalist for Marduk bro!!! ;)

    T.... ....

    maybe best suited because as far as it's about technique and vocals Mortuus is top-notch BM vocalist at the moment

  24. A.... M....

    guitarist Morgan Håkansson had stated "that we in Marduk want to prevent immigration to Sweden and that I was proud over the fact that my grandfather was a serving German officer during the second World War"

  44. J.... G....

    Great song but do you really think I'm impressed seeing a nazi flag for a video response? The germans and the polish are not impressed with that. I would suggest you remove it.

  45. l.... r....

    beautiful song

  46. w.... ....

    @burns01
    Just give it a try via myspace. Shouldn't be that complicated to find out...maybe he's endorsed (?)...

  47. k.... D....

    best album to date that theyv released

  48. b.... ....

    I wish I could ask the drummer what SNARE he uses, that good tight, cracking wooden sound is just awesome.

  49. p.... ....

    Vocals are very nice indeed. Similar in some respects to Mikael Akerfeldt, or a black metal version of him.

  50. b.... ....

    Mortuus is a way better as vocalist and songwriter in my opinion. I don't dislike Legion, but this make the difference.

  51. I.... T....

    Don't like it... I totally prefeer Legion's era...

  52. D.... L....

    I love how Mortuus makes it sound so dark and evil like that. thats how black metal is suppost to sound.

  53. B.... ....

    Marduk is and always was a great band with Hakansson leading it. Legion, Mortuus or former singers Gothberg and Axelsson (does vocals on Dark Endless, one of the best Metal albums ever), doesn't matter, they always keep it on a high level. I've seen and heard Mortuus perform live and it was demonic.

  54. S.... P....

    this is the BM is about... not like the shit of CoF or Dimmu borgir HAIL MARDUK!!! \m/

  55. A.... ....

    @blackpagan100 After listening to the album in full, I can say his vocals are growing on me. I still dont like any of the slow songs, although there seem to be a few really good fast ones. I absolutely love Through the Belly of Damnation, and even better is Vanity of Vanities imo. Even though i agree its nowhere near as good as other releases, Vanity of Vanities blew my balls of the first time i heard it!!!

  56. b.... ....

    @ADeadlierSnake I agree, the music is no-where near as powerfull as other releases.

  57. b.... ....

    Take away the vocals and it's just basic rock music. None of the aggression of albums such as Wormwood or Panzer Division!! This sucks.

  58. A.... ....

    I will admit that Mortuus sounds WAY evil. His vocals are so demonic sounding its insane. He literally sounds like death, if death had a voice. I just dont really think it fits too well with Marduk for some reason.... Although i know he is quite capable of performing Marduk's old stuff, cause ive seen him do it live.

  59. A.... ....

    Im not sure i like Mortuus' vocals..... Im slowly downloading Marduk's discography, and i absolutely LOVE their old material! But for some reason their albums with Mortuus dont seem very black metal. And i dont mean its not "trve kvlt" or any of that little kiddie bullshit. Musically it just doesnt sound like its black metal. Mortuus' vocals seem too low, and the songs generally seem pretty slow. Anyone else think this, or is it just me?

  60. �.... ....

    @SlayerMegadeth86 Cool story, bro.

  61. m.... a....

    UNLEASH DARKNESS!!!! INFLICT WRATH!!!! SPARE NONE!!!!

  68. M.... N....

    OH SHITT!!!

  69. K.... ....

    holly fuck! \m/

  70. x.... x....

    5 peoples are stupid idiots

  71. m.... ....

    @kNAZGL Actually i somehow had never listened to Anti Flesh Nimbus before... Thank you... A definite progression of the genre while still retaining that ambience i love about Black Metal...

  72. M.... C....

    @mola55e5 i dont know how many people would agree with me, but i would say that a few bands have been progressing BM in to a new wave. It sort of leaves behind all the past needed elements of blast beats and brings in a new type of sound, but with a more authentic feel. The only way i can describe it is the atmosphere of early mayhem,DT etc. but with new technology and ideas. I mean Mortuus is a big player in this too. This song and "Anti Flesh Nimbus" are just signs of whats to come i hope.

  73. A.... M....

    @Jogurt1965 nije zajebioza,konza!~

  74. M.... D....

    @paul229 It's Legion,and Mortus will never be like Legion.Legion is a fucking legend.When Mortus will sing like Legion in "Dracul va domni din nou" call me ;)

  75. m.... ....

    Having said that, i do appreciate the original 2nd wave BM sound when it's done well. And Marduk does it well. I just feel like so many people cut themselves off from so much good music because either it doesn't fit into their idea of "cool" or, i guess, they just really like listening to the same thing regurgitated over and over again. So many people freak out when a band experiments a bit.

  76. m.... ....

    if it's a prerequisite of black metal that there can't be bass, then BM is in a sad state... That's the problem with all these subgenres: If you say oh, Black metal is ONLY this or that, then you remove all room for growth, and things get stale. Burzum et al were pioneers, but i don't want to hear a bunch of bands that all sound just like them. Who wants to hear nothing but blast beats and tremolo picking album after album? People r afraid to listen 2 anything challenging.

  77. x.... ....

    @paul229
    I would definitely agree he's more musically inclined and comprehends the concept of music better than Legion, but I believe Legion has the ability to become better than Mortuus if he just got rid of the idiotic blasphemous lyrical ideology.

  78. F.... ....

    such a heavy song, wish they had played this when I saw them live.

  79. b.... ....

    @zevenfilth Well as many bands as there are today you will find similarities. That is not one of them, not really at all lol.

  80. Z.... ....

    wow maybe it's just me, or the riff it's too common , but the riff in the begining, it's the same of "Worth Figthing For" of Judas Priest of the album Angel of Retribution

  81. V.... C....

    Great fucking DAWN "BASS" sound
    Mortuus has a extreme voice!
