This song tells the story of the human connection. How we are intertwined through an inner fire once brought over through the Promethean myth of creation. An endless path carved in blood and littered with pyres burning both those we shun and those we honor.

lyrics

The deed is punished
Forever chained to stone
For upholding value
Above gods alone

I want,  to construct a pyre
I want,  to burn effigies
I want, to create a fire
I want, to engulf the stars

Engulf the stars

Pacing through the pale earth
Pacing through the grinding ice
There stands a lone tree
Its branches reaching out to me

Consumed, by the flame of his own
Hatred, and the undying flame
Worship, the path that must be taken
Worship, rotting deficiency

Curse the name thrice

Upon this burial mound
Hallowed and sacred ground

Stories unfolding in rhyme
Haunting echoes throughout time

Pyre

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas
