Sigrblot - Endtime Communion [excerpt]

Sigrblot "Endtime Communion" [excerpt]
from the album "Blood Religion Manifest" (2003), although this excerpt is from the 2005 reissue.

Why not the whole song? Simply because I find this part the most powerful and relevant.

Lyrics to this part:

[The elixir of bereavement fills our goblet as we submit...] to the final communion

The body of Europe
The blood of Europe

The body of Europe keep you in eternal pain
The blood of Europe keep you in eternal shame

The bread of Europe, broken by you
The blood of Europe, shed by you

The bread of heaven ground to dust
The cup of life, barren as its host
Salvation lies in the flaming chalice

Cast aside the shackles of dogma and humility, thus adopting the doctrines of the end of all time. The stone tablet of Moses reduced to rubble as his tribe wanders scattered in the spiritual desert. Their covenant broken with the fall of Sinai; the altar of perversion cracked from its core. From the burning abyss, purgatory's prophets chant revelations not scribed on parchment nor carved in wood -- but falling upon the earth as they are uttered. Surfacing from the sea, out of mountain, in the wind and raining from the raging heavens themselves. We have found our messiah, received his blessing and witnessed his ascension.
