lyrics
I will be the eagle devouring your liver
While you are bound to your rock
But yours won’t grow back, mortal deceiver
My rotten body was ripe and unfolded
To be a receiver of form
To be filled with your ethereal blood
and make it grow
I sang with no need for ears to be heard
Mercurial, above the ocean,
One of those birds immolated
Who flew away in smoke
and set water to flames
Raise me up by your splendour to the clear sky
and nature will resound in me
The heart must remain in fire
Its heat shall never die out
Slowly sparks of your light will appear,
then your love, shining bright
and we’ll always know what we need
Until we need no more
and your fire shall never fear
Blind me with your kindness
Burn me please
Raise my eyes to the heavens
Hear my plea
Light me up from inside
Let me breathe inward this breath that will eternally return...
Your ethereal love had once given me wings
To cover distance and I will keep
One of those as a reminder of which part of the sky I arose
Remove the last stones embedded in my burning heart,
Draw me off, and again, throw me back
and you’ll see me vanish for good
and set water to flames...
Blind me with the horizon
Hold me still
Make me flourish like a garden
Hear my plea
Raise me up and bind me there
So that nothing could keep me here any longer
Blind me with your kindness
Help me reach the aether
Sow me in your garden
Blind me with the horizon
and hold my sorrow still
So nothing will bring me back here
The horizon is still
A long way from home
The horizon is still
and away from home
Your solvent power over matter
Will devour the lion in the end.

Megadead offers a set of meditative, carefully constructured experimental pieces that capture a longing for escapism. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 24, 2023
supported by 25 fans who also own “Set Water to Flames”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
