lyrics

The Necrontyr could never win against the Old Ones
They became exiled and forgotten
Their fury was cooled by their long millennia
Of imprisonment on their homeworld
Slowly transforming into an utter hatred
Towards all other forms of intelligent life
And an implacable determination to avenge themselves
Upon their seemingly invincible enemies

When the Silent King saw what had been done
He knew at last the true nature of the C'tan
And of the doom they had wrought in his name

They came to us as gods and we, like fools, took them at their word

Mephet'ran the Deceiver
Aza'gorod the Nightbringer
Iash'uddra the Endless Swarm
I curse their names

...and the names of all their malevolent brethren

With the C'tan and the Necrons fighting as one
The Old Ones were now doomed to defeat
Planets were razed, suns extinguished
And whole star systems devoured by black holes

Necron legions assailed the Old Ones
In every corner of the galaxy
Harvesting the life force of the defenders
To feed their voracious C'tan masters

The price of the victory was a terrible fate:
Transforming into and undying and soulless race
Szarekh, the last Silent King betrayed the C'tan
Imprisoning them in the arcane extradimensional devices

Necrons continued to extinguish life across the galaxy...

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

With hearts toward none
by Mgła

supported by 4 fans who also own “The War In Heaven”

This is, in my opinion, Mgła's ("Migwah's") best work, projecting a Lōathing øf Lįfe so feverish that it becomes palpable, infecting the air. Sugammadex
