Breaking through walls of time
Past, present and future unite
Reborn in the sign, inflamed in new light
Breaking the chains of life
Self and surrounding world reunite
Reborn in the sign we arise
In deepest darkness, aeons ago
A blaze in the sky and below ground
Venerated symbol of life and of hope
The very beginning of the cult unbroken
Crooked horns, solid body, head-high
Strong hooves, tail, a glint in the eyes
Giver of life, yoke bearer of the stars
Finally unchained, hunted becomes hunter
Hear us, we call, invocate, we await you
Animate your eager vessels, control our fate
In the early days lust for life was born
With the powerful appearance of the horned one
Soon the beast became part of veneration
Cult, symbol, sign – primeval revelation
Shortly afterwards man alienate
From the beast tamed in terms of false morality
Fought and forced him and themselves under the yoke
Blood on the altar of “civility” in vogue
Regenerate the primeval cult, symbol, reborn in the sign
We renovate life, desires and drives, spirits revive
Crooked horns, solid body, head-high
Strong hooves, tail, a glint in the eyes
Giver of life, yoke bearer of the stars
Finally unchained, hunted becomes hunter
Breaking through walls of time
Past, present and future unite
Reborn in the sign, inflamed in new light
Breaking the chains of life
Self and surrounding world reunite
Reborn in the sign we arise

Urus – giver of life
Urus – hear us
Urus – give us success
Urus – bless us
Firelights and shadows dance
Under night starlit sky
Strange screams, mesmerising drums fill the air
The clan prepares, venerates the hunter
Soul to soul
Metempsychosis
Blood to blood
Life juice absorption
Limb to limb
Mergence of bodies
Strength to strength
Potentisation
The spell is cast
May it last
Strange rituals, cult of veneration
Divinity of basic human animal needs
Satisfying hunger, carnal pleasures to be pleased
Forever we stay hunters
Strange veneration, visualisation
In the sign and in praise of taurus – urus
Becoming one with yourself and the world
Bliss in transcendence in merging
Soul to soul
Blood to blood
Limb to limb
Strength to strength
Psychosis
Absorption
Mergence
Potentisoul-
Ment to soul
Blood to blood
Limb to limb
Strength to strength
Psychosis
Absorption
Mergence
Potentisation
Strange – rituals
Strange – cult of veneration

“Father Anu, give me the bull of heaven
So I can kill the lord, can kill the lord”
He was frightened by Ishtar
And replied, “I shall give her…”
Forced by mankind into myth
A pawn in the hands of man-made gods
They forced you and themselves
Under the yoke of the earth and of the stars
Ishtar brought the domesticated bull
To the town loosened its chains
Savagery under the people of Uruk
Led into perdition by Gilgamesh
Yoke bearer of the past
Many times betrayed
Enslaved and slaughtered
In sumerian clay
This is your regeneration
Existence free from constraint
As from now your raging free
On your way to hell
Then they came
Threatened and fought you
No running away
A battle with the wrong
Butted, horned
Gored to death
Gilgamesh, Enkidu
Man and gods
Man-made gods
Ishtar, Anu, Shamash
Down on earth there lived the bull of heaven
For he had killed his lords, had killed his lords
No longer frightened by no one
’Cause he shook off the yoke
Yoke bearer of the past
Many times betrayed
Enslaved and slaughtered
In sumerian clay
This is your regeneration
Existence free from constraint
As from now your raging free
On your way to hell

Towards The Tomb Of Times
by NAXEN
supported by 25 fans who also own “ritus”
Naxen is a German trio playing classic "Norwegian" style BM with doom passages, which in my opinion adds a twist to the oh-so-stomped-chosen-path of the so-called 2nd wave black metal horde. It's almost too slow at times for me, but I can really appreciate the technical prowess from these relatively new guys. The second part, I agree, is where they really stand out! Weiter so!

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
