In Fate's Thralldom
from Despairing Fates by SOULMASS
lyrics
"Are you the next monarch?
Or… merely a pawn of fate?
Bearer of the curse…
I will remain by your side.
Till this frail hope shatters…"
-----------
Born of the dragons
Contrived of men
By those who cozen fate
By those who failed in her
Icon of desperate dreams
Dead men imaginings
Herald to the chosen dead
Her manifestation beckons thee
Destroy the shackles of fate
A lonely girl burdened with life
Plagued with want and desire
Creator's failure or just
Inescapable fate
Seek misery
In misery greatness waits
Seek misery
Lest the land swallow you
Seek death
In death life waits
Seek death
In death we may be free
Like the failure before me
The ancient one sways me not
In my failures you can succeed
Chosen undead, reap this land for me
I am plagued with want and flesh
Never to break our curse
Slave to repetition
What will become of me when this ends
If she fells the throne, links the flame
Will we break the cycle
Or just repeat again
Or… merely a pawn of fate?
Bearer of the curse…
I will remain by your side.
Till this frail hope shatters…"

This is their most black metal sounding album. Later albums started to sound like modern metal or with hints of djent influence. Great debut by the band. I love Dark Souls and black metal, so this is great!
