    Seven tracks, 66:06 minutes of pagan chatic black metal... As if played in a forest. The birds, frogs, and sounds of nature abound, with the members of Ophidian Forest wafting and blasting and slumbering in and out of it. The final testament of this international three-man outfit, featuring Otrebor from Botanist on drums, and with the first ever pieces Otrebor recorded on hammered dulcimer.

lyrics

Cloaks and capes in humid air
Secrecy each man must swear
When the stars above align
The fifth ward of the 7th sign

In tribute of the effigy
The effigy of destiny
The acolytes and apostates
Lay offerings before the Fates

And Astaroth shall answer all
The hunger, thirst of ev’ry soul
And then we ‘ll loose ourselves at last
From the shackles of our past

And watch us rise above all nations
Know our strength through evokations
Our voices sow the seed
To grain of knowledge we all need

Watch us rise above all nations
Know our strength through evokations
Crushing smallest stars to dust
Which wavers over all Earth’s crust

The lesser key of Solomon
And 18 kings of Lemegeton
Ruling the religious schizm
Pivotal of cataclysm

A second for a century
Indulgement in impurity
The green grimoiric ritual
Performed with most solemnity

To search the source of courage
To dive in Hades’ deep
The circle widens ‘neath the moon
The no-man’s land ‘tween guard and sleep

And watch us rise above all nations
Know our strength through evokations
Our voices sow the seed
To grain of knowledge we all need

Watch us rise above all nations
Know our strength through evokations
We will rise above
As you will dwell below
