Veles! Our blood for your worship Our strength for your glory Glory to you, God of the underworld Slavonic As blood is shed, the fire is fed And the moon transcends Until time shall end Your darkness, your masterpiece Your chaos, the Kings' grand feast Your uncaring eyes Glare towards the skies As time subsides And the dusk welcomes the night. To the once naked sky now dressed in fog, We raise our swords to your puissance, Vast and great like dreams of kingdoms of infinity, And Around the ashen effigy of Abraham we dance.

Suns have risen, and Suns have set Memories time shall soon forget As cloud and fog infect the atmosphere I wonder about the sun I once held dear The heavens weep and the sky blackens beyond darkness Golden hues and shades of chartreuse Faded into the fragments of the olden past Everlasting rain, everlasting dark Everlasting lightning, and song of thunder afar Sempiternal tears weep From the firmament that never sleeps Where the moon shines in enrapturing mystery Despite its sight an occluded enigma to me The spell of the night enrapturing as we breathe I wonder about the past Whose fragments never last I wonder about the time beyond Where the sky never rebirths the dawn... ...for The firmament cries lightning and thunder Until time has long been gone.

5.
May I dwell among the snakes Among the serpents of Eden For I long for the winter frost Of Paradise defeated A time to begin, Autumn A time to follow, spring But the eternal frost of eastern forests The dream of mine, like conquering a king. As The river of my lamentation no longer can flow When the landscape around is covered in ice and snow; When The trees once green have turned to white, The darkness within me shall become light.
6.
Beyond where the wolves howl to dark imperial shadows Beyond where scars of the arcane stream bleed through the morrows Beyond where dreams die and nightmares are born Beyond the seas of leviathan where love descends into scorn Beyond the land where hatred reigns supreme Beyond where the night rules your darkest dreams Beyond the fires of the infernal pentagram That rise to heaven and burn the Tetragrammaton.
7.
The spitting image of the burning fire When wolves brave wander the vast winter We implore for the moon to shine To bring upon eternal night To vanquish the sun way up high To bring darkness to the world of light When wolves brave wander the vast winter The poisoning glare of the moon Spoken in spells Heathendom's desire The spitting image of the burning fire.
8.
Chained he once was-after the full moon fell Seemingly cursed forever-by white magician's spell Vengeance cold as the winter-births in him But, Shed blood he shall-on night black as death and sin The night black as death and sin-emerges, begins to awaken And a full moon surrounds herself-with the stars bright as gold Under a naked cloudless sky-with the full moon in his eyes The wolf grows as strong as the gale No more would he be chained-unchained are his being and wrath And his wrath grows stronger with time-his thirst arises for a bloodbath He frees himself from the forest once dark-now illuminated by the gleaming stars The Wrath of the wolf cries for vengeance. It strengthens with him, it rules with him, it shall slay with him. The ones who chained the wolf are found-torn and maimed they are until they cry no sound Never again shall he be chained, he rules the forest as his domain They cried in agony at his wrath-he just glared at them and laughed The wrath of the wolf has been satiated-to the forest dwells free once more!
9.
I sit alone in the night I sit alone beneath the starlight I wonder, I wander in this black night Alone in the shadows shall dwell I.  I sit by the lake reflecting the stars I sit beside the forest vast and dark  I wonder of the spring and its sun When the winter I once knew will never come  I sit beneath the clouds who trickle the rain  I sit beneath the daylight sky that has been slain I sit beneath the moon, I behold her gaze  I wonder how night will be when I no longer shall see day  So I sit by the flickering candlelight My paragon of life, the flame shall soon die  Daylight shall come, my journey complete  Beneath my final moonlight, my last tear... I now weep...

about

The album name is taken from the Bathory song "The Return of the Darkness and Evil".

The cover art is called "Lightning", by Lithuanian artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (22 September 1875-10 April 1911).

"The Abrahamic faiths are antiquated, archaic, and obsolescent. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and their respective sects... all weeds of the same seeds.
All deserve antipathy, equally. Dogma rules with an iron fist through the mouths of shepherds with hordes of sheep that live in submission to nonexistent powers conceived by the minds of puppet-masters, swindlers, con artists. To give false hope and reward, through blood that has spread by the sword in the name of mere anthological pieces disjointed and contradictory with each other.
It's time the zeitgeist be slain and every atom of it annihilated."-Свјатослав Црни Вук, 14 November, Anno 2016 CE.

Recorded and mixed at various points between November 2016 to March 2017.
Music and lyrics by Свјатослав Црни Вук. Mastered just after the vernal equinox, 2017.

Svjatoslav dedicates this album to the memory of Tony "It" Särkkä; requiescat in pace.
