Oh what a wondrous sight
The Valley of Dry Bones before my eyes
Oh let the night come
Blessed be the new dawn
I was a fool to care
for this lot, weak enough to mourn
Now let the night come
Blessed be the new dawn
Altar of God - So it is Done -
now covered in blood of our young
No more offerings to atone for the sin
Behold the last of our kin
Lo!
Oh let the night come
Altar of God - So it is Done -
now covered in blood of our young
No more offerings to atone for the sin
Behold the last of our kin
No bones shall hear the word of the Lord
Crush the insects once and for all
Oh, in the valley, amidst the thorns
A garden will bloom by dawn
Lo!
Oh let the night come

The Downfall
11:26

Behold the victors of decay
Conquerors of the blackest of ethers
And what to find in their writings
You expect nothing short of revelation
All the gods, all the myths undone
Rise above the laws of creation
There are no more thresholds to cross
No sword aflame to keep you
from your rightful claim to the throne
But they are falling in endless void
Bound to the unseen one
who engulfs them all
Ever more dispersed
and yet they still deny
Rise! Rise! Sons of the prophetess!
The stars have no soul
The formulations of bizarre alchemy
The branches in the unbridled growth
The serpent and its tail are chained into flesh
And the birthing pains are thousandfold
The stars have no soul
Where is your crown
when the wheel of time grows weary?
Where is your crown
when the light of lights is fading?
Show me your crown
Abyss ever deepening
Show me your crown
The ninth encircling
Show me the vessel of Hermes
Your crown
The Stone
Bound to the unseen one

Daughter of the gods
Is she not young and fair?
Oh, you let her wither
in the shadow you cast
The one who lives
through the ages
Feeding off your fears
the fire rages
Häxan
"She doth not cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub the prince of devils
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
So let her burn at the pyre!"
The one who lives
through the ages
Feeding off your fears
the fire rages

House of Mourning
12:46
|

Verily, this I have seen:
all is vanity
At the end of this sore travail
only grief remains
I, of dust, I praised the dead
and those who are never born
I sang my laments for this land
barren, forlorn
I came to this house to die
and pray until it's time
The winds I chased for years now barely
whisper mockingly:
"Have no fear, for what you loved,
now it all is gone"
As you fell from the sky
and thunder shook the very ground
Your soul was torn to pieces
Scattered on earth like seeds
Lord, this world
is a house of mourning
Oh, let the stars
of the twilight thereof be dark!
And then I saw your temple
A house of light, not made with hands
And I saw this world in ashes
And in the ashes a wounded palm
Your thousand arms
formed into wings
And all I saw was fire
Not my will, Lord, but yours, be done
Countless are your left hands, my God - I am one!
"Have no fear, for what you loved,
now it all is gone"

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival.

One word is enough to describe this album: Epic!

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.
